I (32F) am caught up in a family feud that's tearing us apart, all because I won't let my entitled sister (28F) have her way with my vacation home.
So, here's the deal: I have this stunning vacation home by the beach that I've worked my butt off for years to acquire.It's my little slice of paradise, a place where I can unwind and escape the chaos of everyday life. Enter my sister, who has always had a knack for thinking the world revolves around her.
She has been entitled to have everything since the day she was born. To taking my toys and me not having a say because “sisters should share” to my high school boyfriend cheating on me with her. Her explanation: he liked her more than me because she was prettier.
Recently, she came to me with the request of using my vacation home for an entire month. She expects me to just hand over the keys to my hard-earned property like it's some kind of free hotel. Naturally, I couldn't fathom the entitlement dripping from her words.
I tried to explain that the vacation home holds a lot of sentimental value to me and that I'm not in the business of giving handouts. I expect her to pay rent for the month that she stays in there. But does she understand? Of course not! She threw a massive tantrum, accusing me of being selfish, heartless, and all sorts of colorful names.
What infuriates me even more is that she has the means to afford her own vacation rental, but she's too cheap to spend her money on anything other than designer clothes and extravagant nights out. Yet, she has the audacity to come running to me, expecting me to foot the bill for her luxurious beach getaway.
The fallout from this argument has been catastrophic. Our family is divided, with some accusing me of being a stingy control freak while others applaud my refusal to enable my sister's entitled behavior.
So, Reddit, I ask you, am I the asshole? Should I stand my ground and protect what's rightfully mine, or should I cave in to keep the peace within our family? I'm ready to hear your brutally honest judgment.
