I graduated from college four years ago, live at home with my parents. My sister graduated two years ago and also lives at home with my parents. We both got jobs pretty much straight out of college. I pay my parents $800 a month in rent since my first paycheck. This is a throwaway and it's still fresh and I'm really emotionally charged right now. Last night my parents were talking loudly about their furniture problems in the living room. I overheard and I offered to help by paying more in rent since it covers utilities, phones, internet. My parents were grateful. Now prior to this, I never asked how much my sister pays in rent. I always figured my parents' charges the same. So absentmindedly, I asked a follow-up question, how much is my sister paying for rent? My mom says nothing. What do you mean she doesn't pay rent? My dad is visibly angry now and says, your sister doesn't pay a fucking thing. My dad explained how my sister recently brought a brand new car and hasn't paid insurance on it so my dad had to pay for her. She doesn't pay rent. She doesn't pay utilities, phones, anything. So for the past two years, she's been living rent free while I've been paying my parents. So later that night, we have a family sit down talk. My sister didn't want to pay rent, especially at how much I was paying. She offered $100. My parents suggested she pay $300. I pay $800, which my sister and I both rejected. The conversation ended with this. My sister yelling, fuck you. I'm trying to live my life. So my sister storms off to her room and it's now me and my parents in the living room. I'm extremely upset at this because it's massively unfair. My mom is upset that everyone's angry at each other and my dad's angry my sister won't pay rent and she won't move out and both my parents don't want the police involved. So I say my part before leaving. I'm not going to pay rent anymore until she does. And if I do pay rent, I'm paying whatever she's paying. My mom says, what if she pays $300 and you pay $800? No. But we really need the money. That's too bad. I get up and go off to my room. So this morning, my dad comes in and tells me that I am the asshole for not paying rent, that I should pay rent because it's the right thing to do and all that shit. I'm like, what the hell? Make sister pay rent. My mom who's listening in says, you've seen her. She won't listen to us. Well, that's too bad. My mom's really angry and goes, well, we wouldn't have this problem if you didn't try to make your sister pay rent. That was the last straw that blew it for me. I slammed the door on my parents. As I'm typing this, my parents are in the room discussing how both their children are rotten and shit was better back home in their home country in the days when kids listened to their parents. Like, what the fuck? Fuck.
