Recently the 28-year-old woman’s pregnant sister asked for some financial help from her and as the woman refused to do so, she received a lot of criticism from her family. She decided to spend her money on a vacation. As she did so her family regarded her as a bad person so she took to the internet to get some advice on the issue.

It was explained by her on the post that she was a hard-core reader and it was her ritual to go on a reading vacation almost three to four times a year. She continued that she used to decide on a city and then mostly spend her time there in the coffee shops reading books and this practice started since she was in the university.

It was revealed by her that she even planned extended trips once every two years where apart from reading she also used to sight-see. She shared that since last year her Paris trip got cancelled, she had rescheduled it for the coming year. Sharing about her sister’s financial issues she said that her sister had overheard her conversation with their mother regarding the trips and therefore on a certain day taunted her for her expensive trips.

Elaborating about the issue the woman shared that her sister asked to move in with her but she refused the proposal. Later she found out that her sister was unable to manage the rent and expenses of a baby and therefore relied on her for financial support. Their older sibling had already refused help as she worked from home and couldn’t stand any disturbances due to the new-born, and she didn’t have any extra room.

The situation got worse when her sister started complaining to their parents about the woman’s unnecessary luxuries trips and how she refused to give her money for necessary things. This caused her family to believe that she is a selfish person with no motive to help her family out.

As the post got an enormous response, people had mixed viewpoints regarding the situation. A person commented that her sister was just being illogical and there is no relation between her trips and her sister being unable to pay her rent, she shouldn’t be moving in with her for such a reason. He added that it’s completely sensible of her to make her own decisions regarding where to spend her money and shouldn’t feel guilty of not helping her sister for something which isn’t her responsibility and keeping your wishes ahead is not selfish.

Another said that she doesn’t need to make her sister’s life affordable and if she can afford a vacation for herself then she shouldn’t be thinking so much for a sister who doesn’t consider her joys. Yet another person added that reading vacation seemed to be an interesting plan.

A person had a viewpoint that it’s the responsibility of the new-born’s parent to take care of its expenses and not hers therefore, she shouldn’t overthink to provide space expense for a child who is not even hers. The power to spend her money should always remain in her hands.
