My brother treats his friends better than his own sister
I had an exam today and there was a bus strike in my area, so yesterday I asked my mom to tell my younger brother to drop me to college. He immediately said he would charge me ₹100 even though the scooty belongs to my mom and she pays for the petrol.
In the morning I woke him up and he wasted time arguing that it wasn’t even 7 yet. Then my mom started saying buses would still run in the morning during strikes. I explained that once before during a strike, the bus left me far away and I literally had to walk 11.5 km home alone. I was scared the same thing would happen again, especially on an exam day.
Instead of understanding, both of them kept arguing with me about buses and my brother kept saying he would just leave me at the bus stop if he saw a bus. I got frustrated and stormed out saying he happily does “slavery” for his friends because he picks them up and drops them every day without complaining, but acts like helping his own sister is a burden.
What hurts more is that he constantly mocks and teases me whenever I go with him on the scooty. When I complain, my mom just says “ignore him.” Today I finally started recording him because I was tired of nobody taking it seriously. Then my mom got angry at ME for recording instead of understanding why I was upset.
I somehow still went for the exam, but the whole thing made me feel so unwanted in my own house. On the way I genuinely felt like after marriage I’d never want to come back home again.
Am I overreacting for being this hurt?
