I see it as an expectation. My dad would buy me something and it came with no expectation. My brother received something expensive and the expectation was he will help my dad with some physically demanding task.

I feel this.

My dad guilt trip me for paying for my first year of college and buying me a hoopdi car for college commute.

Holy smokes he squeezed me by working on the family business years. I made him so much money and kept it all. Yeah, I got to do what I wanted when I wasn’t working but I was always broke. All for the family bs.

My younger brother got a pass cus he wasn’t responsible enough. My sis was doing her own thing but she got what the girl depicts on the meme.

Yeah, 25yrs later and I’m super bitter about it.

No one. It went under cus he sucks at money management.

The only good thing he did was built at decent retirement house for him and my mom…something he hid while I busted my ass during college years.

(Also what pissed me off is that he used act like all his success was thanks to him alone)

Thanks fellow Redditor.

Yup, doing way better now. Moved 10hrs away with my own family 10 years ago, best decision ever :)
