Who here is the “dependable child”?

The one who gets the luxury of doing all the things their sibling never seem to care to do?

It will really piss you off sometimes when you think about it.

Everyone else gets to just ignore family matters, that everyone should be concerned with and just live their own little personal lives, with no interruption.

The lack of consideration you get is infuriating.

I like being there for all my family (the ones I deal with) whenever I can.

A lot of that comes from the help they’ve offered me over the years.

But when people who’ve gotten that same help don’t even consider to step up or step in, it puts a lot into perspective.

You know it’s bad when your parents say things like “I don’t even wanna ask them”, referring to another sibling, who is most certainly capable, but refuses to show any concern for anything that goes on outside of their own lives.

Sometimes you want your other siblings to step up, other times, you want your parents to apply the same energy and tactics they apply to you, to them, sometimes you just wanna shut down and run away.

I’m grateful that I do think of people outside myself and that I think it’s important to be there for those that have been there for me.

Grateful I’m not that self absorbed.

But sometimes, I really wish I was.

And don’t come gaslighting with all that “you’ll be blessed” sh*t.

Are you saying that everyone else will be cursed? Lmao!

I hate that manipulative sh*t.

One thing I’ll be sure to do is NOT allow my kids to think that such responsibilities falls on just one of them.

Always think of someone other than yourselves.

Help people out.

Don’t just “love” them with words, love them with action.
