Sibling Is Furious at Sister for Not Contributing to Parents’ Vacation Home

A family vacation house is causing bad blood amongst siblings.

One of the siblings explained on the community forum Mumsnet that her sister hasn’t been financially contributing to maintaining the property in Spain.

“The upkeep obviously costs, and we’re expected to contribute when using it, which is fair enough. I want to help them out,” the woman wrote, referring to her perceived expectations from their mom and dad.

“My sister [and her boyfriend], however, keep going over there for free — no contribution or anything,” she continued. “My parents just let her go and don’t say anything. What’s annoying me is [the other siblings and I are] still expected to pay, and if we didn’t, something would be said.”

Feeling furious, she asked other people in the Mumsnet forum, “Am I right to feel annoyed that they go for free and I’m still expected to pay? We haven’t gone since finding out they aren’t paying as I don’t think it’s fair.”

Many users reassured her that she’s not being unreasonable for feeling this way, as it might show “sibling favoritism” from the parents.

“Stop contributing and go on vacation elsewhere,” one reader replied, while another commented, “Your sister sounds like a lazy scrounger, but ultimately it’s on your parents for letting them stay without any contribution.”

A third person cautioned, “It’s obviously not fair but I suppose you have to weigh up the risk/benefit of causing an argument by bringing it up.”
