This 23-year-old woman lives in a nicely sized home with a large yard. And right now, her 36-year-old sister– as well as her 9-year-old niece and 10-month-old nephew– also live with her.
They started living together after her sister got left by an ex 9 years ago, leaving her sister a single mom. And since then, they haven’t had any issues being roommates.
She does help her sister out a lot with childcare. She also covered all of their bills. That way, her sister had enough income to provide for the kids.
“My sister did eventually start pitching in,” she noted, “But not until her child was about 6.”
However, just last year, her sister started dating a 40-year-old guy named James, who is now her sister’s fiancé.
And more recently, her sister and James wound up having another kid– a boy– together.
“This is when the issues started,” she revealed.
Ever since her newest nephew was born, her sister has apparently quit her job and stopped pitching in money for their expenses.
She has tried asking her sister for more help covering their rent, too. Yet, her sister always just laughs and claims it’s “not her house.”

“Why should I pay rent?” her sister also asks.
She’s pointed out how her sister obviously lives there and is required to pay for her share of the bills.
Still, her sister always winds up making up excuses about having to pay for groceries or the kids’ necessities.
She knows this is total bologna, though, since her sister never actually buys any of that stuff. Instead, she pays for the food and kid’s needs.
And to make matters even worse, her sister gave her fiancé her car. So, her sister’s fiancé decided to leave his car parked on the front lawn of her house!
When she asked about when the car was going to get moved a while ago, her sister made excuses for the guy– claiming that he needed some new license plates or that he had a flat tire.
However, she checked, and the tire was never flat. Yet, the car has remained parked on her lawn to this day.
Now, all of the grass underneath it is completely dead, and the tires have left marks on her lawn.
She has also repeatedly asked for the car to be moved, but her sister and her sister’s fiancé just keep ignoring her.
“So I’m this close to getting his car towed and kicking my sister out,” she vented.
But, she doesn’t want to negatively impact her niece or nephews, which is why she isn’t sure if that would be the wrong thing to do.
Do you think she should be responsible for paying her sister’s way at just 23 years old? What would you do if you were in her shoes? Should she put her foot down?
