I am one of 5 siblings, 3 girls and 3 boys. My parents but anything and everything for my brothers but nothing for me and my sisters. My mum hasn't bought me clothes since Year 6, the clothes I've bought I saved up doing tuition for 6 weeks. I'm 16, my other sisters are 17 and 24. My mum says because we're old she doesn't need to spend money on us we need to get jobs etc. but she hasn't bought anything for us since we were little. And I know for a fact that she'd buy my brothers stuff until they're probably 80. She also makes us clean the house literally everyday and the boys don't do ANYTHING, whilst they're the ones who make the mess. We are literally slaves.

Yes, some families view females as the lesser of the species and engage in misogynistic practices such as this. Although it sucks (and is really stupid), it will make you stronger and more successful in life. You'll leave home with the ability to care for yourself and meet your responsibilities in life.
ReplyYou and your sister will be under no obligation to visit your parents when they are too old to look after themselves.
They will then know the feeling that they are forcing you into now.
Don't worry about your brothers. They probably will ignore your parents when they need help, this is what I have been told by someone who works in nursing homes, that sons disappear and don't visit their parents.
ReplyYou aren't alone, that is the same culture in my family. Girls do the housework, boys do nothing. I swear to God, when my uncle wakes up, my girl cousin makes her bed, brings a table towards him, with a jug of water and special glass, and fruits...he is always on his phone and just keeps selling his own property for money, and doesn't do any job. Or for money he takes off loan from my dad's property and then my dad has to pay it for him. Now a total of $5 lakh my dad has to give for no reason...I'm sure things can't get that worse when it comes to your brother. I am 15 and I am wearing clothes 3 years old right now, I am getting taller so that's why I get like +2 clothings every year in my closet....You are not gonna regret this practice when you live independently.
