Would you be angry if your parents made you pay bills and not your sister?

Question

I’m 19, shes 18. We both make about the same amount of money. I’ve been working since I was around 16, to buy myself a car - which I did because my parents told me they wouldn’t help. My sister just got her first job, my parents bought her a car. 
Not just that, but they pay her phone bill. I’ve had to pay my own phone bill since I was 16. I’ve also had to pay my own car insurance and maintenance. They pay for all of that for her. I have to buy my own groceries. They give her money for groceries of her own ($200 a month.) I’m getting pissed off at this point because if youre going to make me pay for this stuff, why not her? I’m all for paying for my own things but it’s unfair for us both to be living here and her getting everything handed to her.   Any advice.

Answer

Yes, I'd be mad. There isn't any thing you can do but move out.

Answer

I was in a similar situation with my brothers girlfriend. She moved in to our family home after spinning a poor Cinderella like tale to my mum, and my mum asked her to pay rent, fine. But I was paying £110 a week! And she was only paying about £60! 
I said to my mum I will pay the same as her, my mums argument was that she earns less. I said that was bollocks because rent doesn't work like that, you live where you can afford, as far as I was concerned that meant she couldn't bloody afford to live there so either her rent was raised, she fucked off, or my rent was dropped. 
My youngest brother (21) still lives with my mum rent free and by his age, I'd moved out because I was sick of paying stupid money to have a single room where my mum forbid me to put a lock on my own bedroom door (my family knocked and entered, rather than wait for a reply). 
Honestly, younger siblings get away with freaking murder! I'd raise it with your parents that you're happy to pay your way, but feel it's unfair for your younger sister to not have to, and possibly even detrimental to her as she'll not have any practice paying her way when it comes time for her to move out. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but to raise it like an adult will be the best approach. 
Best of luck. Younger siblings suck sometimes (oldest of 4)

Answer

you’re obviously the mature one so have a level headed talk with them. Calmly tell them you have no issue contributing but everything should be equal. Even if you have roommates, things are split evenly. Sometimes younger siblings get away with stuff. The issue with being the strong responsible one is that you’re always going to feel like you can only count on yourself and have no one to go to. They don’t worry about you being okay, they worry about her though but it’s still not fair. Present a plan to them. 
Maybe instead of paying a set amount of money, pick bills and you pay 2 and she pays 2 so they are close to equal. You can even rotate them monthly 
Or They can even step aside and make it like you two are roommates and it’s both your responsibility to take care of these certain bills and you and her hash it out. Even make up a “lease”
Next month you should tell them they cut your hours so you only have X amount and see what they say 
If all else fails you can move but living alone is very expensive these days  
Is she on a special diet? it’s like she gives them a little money then they give her back 200$?!? 
Hmmm good luck

Answer

Are you sure you're both making the same amount? It just seems odd
If you are, then yes, that's messed up & you should say something & ask them why.

Answer

Story time:
I was staying with my parents but looking for my own place, they were looking for a place for them and my 2 brothers. They found a big house for rent and asked if I wanted to move in and pay rent, my brother (8 1/2 months younger, don’t ask) would be too. We’d each the same amount, we worked together. So I was like okay, sure. They need help so if course. 
Well 2 DAYS after moving, my brother decided to no call no show, forcing me to stay late and the manager to come back in. He was warned that if he didn’t at least TRY to find coverage that he’d get suspended. He decided to not try and was suspended. Well he made up a sob story and they told him to quit. He didn’t get another job and never paid rent. However when I left the same job because the management was mentally abusive and just all around shitty, my dad gave me a lecture because I had a part time job and not full time. I was never late or short on rent, but I got a lecture about finding a full time job while my brother sat on his ass all day everyday. I’ve been employed consistently since I was 17, he’ll get a job for 6 months (MAX, usually like 2-3), quit, and then be unemployed for a few years.
It annoyed the FUCK out of me. Still does when I think about it and it’s been 4 years

Answer

I would be annoyed and then move out 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I was in a similar situation. I had to pay rent once I graduated high school. My my year older step sister didnt and neither did the step sister that was my same age. And when the youngest step sister graduated a few years later, and had a baby. She didnt have to pay either. 
I moved out because I also had a curfew even though I was paying rent.

Answer

No advice but you can message me if you ever need to vent. My parents are just like this I quit talking to my sister 3 years ago and then 2 years ago so I get it.

Answer
