Woman accuses parents of clear favoritism when visiting for Sunday lunches, she is always tasked with cooking and cleaning, while her older brother avoids helping and is never called out for his laziness: 'He goes straight to the couch when he gets here'

How long can they make up excuses for the men in their family to pick up some slack around the house, especially when, as siblings, they are contributing the exact same amount to their family? Yet, every Sunday that rolls around, this sister spends the day assisting her mother with cooking and cleaning, whilst her older brother is perched along the couch, as if he's posing for a ancient Roman painting…News flash bro, the grapes are finished, so if he wants more he can get up and drive himself to the gas station down the road, because his sister is done hand-feeding him.

Toddlers require less work and attention than this middle-aged man, and when his sister finally acknowledges the lack of accountability of his laziness from both him and their parents, their favoritism is evidently clear. God forbid, the golden boy gets his feet sore from walking from the couch to the fridge…It seems like these parents need their delusion bubble popped as a reminder that we are no longer living in the 1800s, perhaps having their daughter stop helping out for one Sunday lunch will prove just how much she contributes, and just how much he doesn't…

Sometimes, the only way to get your parents to recognize their silence is by letting your actions do the talking. Her older brother gets away with acting like a sloth, while she’s running around like Mary Poppins, but news flash, Mary looked after children, and last time we checked, he wasn’t one!

AITA for not helping out my mom with Sunday lunch mostly to make a point?
