Youngest siblings have a bad reputation for being the freeloading golden children of the family, but the post-breakup little bro in this next story has certainly earned that prejudice. After a nasty breakup with his live-in girlfriend, he asked if he could come stay with his sister and her husband for a little while, just to get back on his feet. Now, three months later, with no intention of setting out on his own, the eldest had to swoop in and play the “bad guy” by asking her brother to act like an adult (for once) and contribute $200 towards rent.
Naturally, being the baby of the family, he flipped out and blew things way out of proportion.
Maybe you should have done your dishes, contributed around the house, or been a graceful couch-crashing guest. Instead, he’ll be chattering his teeth in humid nights, living in his car on the street to make a point.
