17-year-old son is forced by parents to raise his 3 younger siblings, but refuses to do the same for new baby and tells them to put it up for adoption.
High school drama usually revolves around crushes, cliques, and the occasional cafeteria food fight. But imagine swapping all that for diaper duty and bedtime stories. Being a teen is tough enough, but when you’re also the big brother to three young siblings, life can get pretty intense. Forget who’s dating who or what happened at the last party—this is real-life drama on another level.
As the big brother, Jack sometimes helped his parents out with the 3 younger kids. At first, it was the occasional night watch, but soon, Jack was asked tofor his siblings, help with homework and walk them to school, amongst other things. It didn’t take long before his role as a big brother turned into a demanding full-time nanny position.
It sounds like Jack’s folks forced their teen son into a parenting role he didn’t want or ask for. According to“Parentification happens when a child is made to take on the role of an adult emotionally, financially, or through other responsibilities, without support from their parents or other adults. This can harm the child’s development and lead to a number of mental health problems and negative outcomes later in life,” experts explain.
