Cheers to this week's "Am I The A$$hole?" family drama! The original poster (OP) tells all about his sister who got pregnant with a deadbeat dude on purpose, even though she's still in school and doesn't have the financial means of supporting a baby. Even though her baby daddy told her he would support the baby, he already had kids with two other women who he failed to financially support. Nonetheless, she still had a baby with him. When she saw that he couldn't pull through on his promise, she demanded that her brother help her out financially. He said that it was her choice to have the baby, and therefore she has to live with the consequences. Most Redditors decided that he wasn't in the wrong, but what do you think? Scroll down for all the details.

It's normal to feel in competition with your siblings, you have usually been compared to them a lot. And the idea of sibling rivalries are nothing new, they're almost natural as everyone wants the most attention and to have their parents be proud of them. But at what point do sibling rivalries cross the line? You can steal each other's clothes, hobbies, but baby names? That might be the line, especially if it's a child that's no longer with us. That's what you call toxic.
If you grew up with a sibling or two or even three, then you'll understand the weird relationship that you have with them. One minute they're your favorite person in the world, you're watching movies together and bonding over how much you hate your parents. The next minute you want to kill them, you can't imagine how much better your life would be without them, and you start a rumor that they were adopted. These tweets will hit home hard but probably not as hard as your siblings hate you.
If you've ever met your Doppelgänger, then you know how freaky it is to see yourself in another person, especially when you least expect it. It's one thing to find someone who looks like you, but if they had the same job as you too, then you might be even more freaked out. So what are the odds that two celebrities are each others' Doppelgängers? Two people in the same industry who look the same? Come on. These pictures of celebrities who look so similar they might as well be siblings are pretty freaky, and we hope they are equally as weirded out as we are because we. Are. Shook!
Growing up with brothers is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it helps you know how to deal with men from an early age, teaches you how to fight and hold your own, and you'll always have someone to protect you if necessary. On the flipside, brothers are a total pain in the ass. They fight you, they tease you, and they fart all the damn time. Seriously—I'd know; I grew up with two of them. So if you also had the pleasure or displeasure of growing up with brothers, then you'll relate hard to these tweets.
Growing up with four sisters (yes, you read that right—four!) I feel qualified to comment on the total head f*ck that is the sisterly bond. One minute they're your best friend, and you're staying up late together talking about boys, sharing each other's clothes. The next minute, you're screaming bloody murder at her for "borrowing" your makeup without asking and running to your parents to tell them you wish she'd never have been born. Having a sister is like having a best friend and also a mortal enemy from birth. It's pretty weird when you think about it. If this sounds familiar, then these tweets about the ups and downs of having a sister will speak to your soul and relate to you in all sorts of ways.
Texting with teenagers always comes with the risk that they'll respond the same way they do in person: in monosyllabic grunts. And nothing is more infuriating than a teenager who doesn't communicate and makes you feel like a total idiot for just trying to have a conversation with them. Comedian Maggie Widdoes shared her experience on Twitter of texting a 13-year-old in her life a lovely "Happy birthday" message, only to receive "yeah" in response. Her tweet sparked other people to share their experience of texting teenage kids, siblings, nieces, and nephews and only receiving silence or one-word answers in reply. They prove one thing, and one thing only— kids are brutal!
If you have a sister, then you have probably been locked in a battle of wills with her since you were kids over the stain you got on her shirt at the middle school homecoming dance. I know I have been! (Sis, if you're reading this, that shirt cost me HALF of my allowance. Just pay it BACK already!! I don't care HOW many decades have passed, I want my five dollars!!!)
But even though it can foster conflict, those of us with a sister know the secret of any outfit: nothing looks better than whatever you can grab from your sister's closet. (Or her bedroom floor, or the hamper...it really depends what's most accessible.) Such as…
Growing up with siblings can feel like an Olympic sport at times. How fast can you run into your sister's room, steal her clothes and then bolt out again before she comes back upstairs? How close to beating up your brother can you get before he tells your mom what you did? It's a love-hate relationship, but as much as you drive each other crazy, they're your flesh and blood, so you love them really. These tweets about growing up with siblings are all-too-relatable and will give you flashbacks from growing up which you might have tried to forget.
Growing up with siblings has its ups and downs. If you're anything like me, your siblings drove you crazy when you were younger. Between stealing your stuff, telling your parents every time you did something wrong, and tackling you to the ground every ten minutes, it's hard to catch a break. On the other hand, having siblings means there's always someone to play with and someone who can relate to your parents crazy flip outs. These sibling memes will help you relate to all the feelings that having brothers and sisters gives you, bringing you back to those childhood days where you fought them for absolutely everything.
When it comes to relationships, the age-old question of whether opposites attract is somewhat of a divisive topic. To clarify, I'm not talking about personality, values, or lifestyle; I'm speaking strictly about physical appearance. One could argue that dating someone who looks very similar to you is about as narcissistic as it gets. Notwithstanding how explaining that no, this is not your sibling, it's your partner, could get boring. But apparently, this issue doesn't phase some people, and the Instagram account Siblings or Dating showcases the most extreme versions of those couples. The account uploads pictures of couples submitted by users to their stories and has their 200k follower base vote whether the 'couple' who looks scarily similar are, in fact, siblings or dating. They then reveal the answer after 24 hours. We've compiled some of the best ones below, together with the answers. See which ones you can correctly guess as you scroll down, and spoiler alert: you'll be wrong almost every time.
Having siblings is cool because you get ready-made friends without having to put any effort in. On the other hand, having siblings is like growing up with ready-made enemies that you can't get away from. It's a love-hate thing and these tweets sum it up perfectly. If you have siblings, you'll probably relate to all of these. I know I did!
