Entitled 30-year-old expects independent little sister to let them move in rent-free after quitting a stable job and squandering their savings on a flopped business endeavor; sister refuses: 'I worked hard for my stability'

Risky siblings feel entitled to the responsible sibling’s safety net. What’s yours is mine, right?

Behind every sister relationship lies a lifetime of measuring which bowl of ice cream is slightly smaller and juggling blouses back and forth between closets. Although sisterly relationships vary, there’s usually a common thread of responsibility imbalances, often leading to disputes and familial clashes of biblical proportions. In this case, the younger sister always played it safe, working hard at unglamorous jobs to earn a life of stability and comfort. The older sister, in contrast, was reckless and flippant. 

You can probably guess where this drama goes, but when the prodigal sister returned to the family fold, it was the responsible youngest who was expected to absorb the fallout. Well, not this time, sis. It’s time to face the music.
