AITA: Lit Edition

[crazychemgirl]

I was thinking about creating an AITA thread, but there's an old one! Yay!
My sibling has lived with my parents for almost 20 years now. For about 14 of those years, they provided free childcare for her as a single Mom and she only had to cook once a week. She also pays very little in rent because she cleans the house for them. Now that my parents are getting up in age, she has started to play the martyr acting like she does so much for them. 2-3 times a month I take time off of work to take them to appointments. On those days I have also made dinner for them and sometimes do laundry and ask what else they need done. I've been there and seen where after dinner, she goes to her bedroom and stays there unless they need her to do something. My other sibling goes over once a week to help them out with whatever.

AITA for thinking that she's not a martyr and that she actually owes them more than what she's currently doing?

100% no … you are not the asshole.

If she WANTED more help… she could ask for it.

NOPE. not even a little.

If you ever need to vent, i'm going through a somewhat similar situation with my family (aunt acting like she just gets my gma's house and everything in it just because she was living there and doing nothing to make sure my gma was okay).

Yes!!! She's always been this way, expecting us to know she needs help without telling us she does. I'm not psychic! lol

That infuriates me! If she was actually taking care of her I could see her pov, but if she did nothing but live off of your gma, then she's a pos!
