For the first fifteen years of their life, our Redditor cherished the quiet joy of being the only child. But then, something unexpected happened, what they called “a result of being bored during quarantine.” Their parents brought a new baby into the family.
From the moment their little sister arrived, OP found themselves reluctantly stepping into the role of a third parent. Suddenly, they were thrown into a crash course on parenting, balancing schoolwork with changing diapers becoming their new routine. Even as summer arrived and COVID restrictions eased, OP felt isolated, unable to spend time with friends. Why? Their parents were determined to shield their baby sister from the dangers of Covid.
Hoping to escape their frustration, OP started looking into colleges out of state that matched their aspirations. It didn’t go as smoothly as they’d hoped when they finally mustered the courage to talk to their parents about their plans.
This and much more are for you guys to read and decide if OP’s stance on all this made him an a$$hole or not. Scroll down below to read the story!

1. Let’s find out!
2. This has to be the most hilarious introduction I have ever read to a Reddit story.
3. OP was ambitious to go to college out-of-state on a scholarship. But till then, there was a lot of responsibility bestowed upon his shoulders.
4. He basically became the third parent to the baby girl. And he didn’t like it.
5. After the COVID restrictions were relaxed, he was still not allowed to go meet his friends because the parents feared he would bring the virus home and jeopardize the life of the little one.
6. OP has already decided to go child-free after having to become a parent at such a young age. This only made his ambitions to leave the state for college as soon as possible more strong.
7. OP had everything nailed down to the dot regarding the colleges he was going to choose from the potential scholarship options. The topic finally came up with his parents.
8. The parents asked about his plan and when he said he was planning to go out of state for college, they shut the idea down instantly.
9. OP said he had it all covered with the scholarship and everything but his parents still wanted him to apply in-state, as a safety net.
Perhaps the actual purpose is something else.
If you think about it, isn’t this all just parents asking their daughter’s little brother to help them out and be responsible? I mean, I don’t understand what is there to complain about. OP is making it sound like the duties put upon his shoulders are like locking him in jail and making him work for every bite he takes of food in that house. That is not the case.
OP is being unreasonable if you ask me. Sure go to a college of your choice, get the scholarship you want I will pray for you. But don’t be an a$$ to a human being who doesn’t even know what life is yet.
Let’s see what happens next. Scroll down below to continue reading!
