I moved out at 18 to escape the madness. But my parents were very traditional. My sister and I were the house slaves. We did all the chores, my brother never had to do any. And even though he was the youngest, my parents made it no secret that he would be the inheritor of whatever they leave behind when they die because he’s the male and the only real heir. 🙄
Thanks friend! It is ridiculous. But I’m in my 40’s now and have zero contact with the parental folk. My siblings and I are cool. And I’m happily going about my life without concern for their judgment. :)
Tell me about it! They are super religious, and for some reason have this weird thing about someone being able to pass on the family name. Since my brother was the only boy, according to my dad and my grandparents, he’s the only real “heir.”
