My Brother Thinks Paying Rent Makes Him King 👑

Let me vent for a sec—my twin brother and I both live with our mom after Dad passed, trying to keep things afloat. I cover groceries, utilities, gas, and even help with Mom’s car. My brother? He just pays rent and the phone bill—well, he did until today. After mocking our mom and me calling him out, he blew up, stormed out, and came back declaring he’s done paying the phone bill. So now, he thinks $300 rent makes him the hero of the house! Meanwhile, I’m left juggling everything else. I’m honestly at my wit’s end. Why does he act like he’s carrying the world on his shoulders when I’m the one picking up the slack? How do you deal with family members who just don’t get it? Any advice before I lose my mind? 😤🤯 #FamilyFinance #SiblingDrama #MoneyMatters #LivingWithFamily #RomanticRelationships

So log into the cell phone account and turn his phone off there. Tell him that since he refused to pay his share, he’s not having a phone.

you need to devise an agreement where it is designated what each one will pay equally and if he doesn't agree tell him he can find another place to live since you are paying 90% of the expenses in the home. he is not a hero or king of the roost
