The brother being a better parent than most actual parents.
It all seems to boil down to patience and Pavlov in the end.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Expected a weird twist, got pleasantly surprised
Man, I hope this one is actually real.
I hope it's not, what the hell kind of parents do these kids have??
Sometimes they're working multiple jobs, sometimes they were mistreated themselves as kids. We shouldn't be too quick to judge.
Isn't this just parentification?
This is behavioral therapy, which you could say is a responsive mode of "parenting" that is highly effective.
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!

Am disappoint.
On a more serious note, I hope that's a true story. A healthy social circle, even if it's only 1 person, does wonders to people.

If you can find her a real life boyfriend you deserve a degree in social work
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.
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.
