Anon is a normal, decent human being and sibling.
I wouldn’t go that far. He’s being decent to his sister, but there could be ulterior motives here. I’ve learned to never trust a 4chan post.
I thought it was some weird sex thing at first but you never know what you get with greentexts.
I saw shower and started worrying but it’s OK.
The proliferation of anime and Internet porn has mortally wounded familial relationships.
The brother being a better parent than most actual parents.
It all seems to boil down to patience and Pavlov in the end.
Isn’t this just parentification?
If it’s healthy for you does it need a label?
The story sounds healthy enough. I’m mostly critical of the role of the actual parents. I may be over reaching here, but it sounds like the writer ended up taking up a responsibility that should have been taken by the parents in the first place. However, the situation sounds healthy enough and parentification has positive sides too!
Man, I hope this one is actually real.
Even if it isn’t, you know something like that has actually happened somewhere.
I hope it’s not, what the hell kind of parents do these kids have??
Not entirely uncommon, unfortunately
Sometimes they’re working multiple jobs, sometimes they were mistreated themselves as kids. We shouldn’t be too quick to judge.
Expected a weird twist, got pleasantly surprised
I’d never really heard the term NEET before and had to do some research. I get what is, but not really why it is.
Is it a lifestyle thing or a mental health thing?
NEET is is an economic label that means Not in Employment Education or Training. Its the group often looked down on as leeches in society but the term doesn’t consider the reasons or health of the person.
The sister in the post appears much more like the Japanese shutins or hikikomori who isolate themselves from all social contact. Technically being a hikikomori is a choice but mental health and big pressure culture probably dont help.
Just say loser lol
Normally it’s used to indicate a lifestyle which probably has an underlying mental health component. But the girl in this story is just really really autistic. IDK why the OP didn’t describe her as such once.
