My (28m) little sister (20f) is a spoiled brat and I’m sick of it.

Hello!

This is an issue that’s kind of effecting my whole family. I’m the oldest of 4 siblings, and my little sister is the youngest (we’ll call her J). The way our parents dote on J has become increasingly infuriating over the past few years.

She won’t get a job, because she’s depressed about an injury she got a few years ago that blocked her from getting into pro sports. I feel bad for her sometimes, but...

My parents FLOOD her with money and she does nothing but sleep, shop, and go out. She just bought two bags that are probably around $6,000 together. They bought her two cars (crashed the first one). They give her however much she asks for because god knows why. I know my mom is terrified of losing a relationship with her because she’s moms “special child” and only girl.

J is living with me right now, because she got kicked out by her ex, and I was trying to be supportive and teach her how to handle money, but she is acting so spoiled I can’t stand it. I told her she has to get her own place, so now my parents are going to rent her out an apartment.

I think all of this coddling is ridiculous and detrimental to my parents and my sister. It’s also hard for me and my brothers to watch because we feel like they would never go to such an extreme for us. It’s effecting the whole relationship dynamic and it’s about to be really awkward on Thanksgiving.

I’m struggling with how to approach having a conversation with either my sister or my parents. J can be dismissive and difficult, and my parents seem to have excuses for everything she does.

She used to be my closest sibling, but this is causing a big rift between us and it’s making me really sad, I’m not sure where that good person in her went.

My brothers and I all work very hard, and I often pull 80 hour work weeks, so to see this happening is bullshit.

TL;DR: my little sister is getting flooded with money and being coddled for doing nothing, and my brothers and I are resentful and not sure how to deal with this situation with minimal drama.
