do your parents have any expectations of you?

Yeah... they expect so much from me that's it's so suffocating. I really am going to rant here, sorry I have no outlet

A toxic Filipino culture when you're the eldest of the children, is when your parents brought you up to study and work hard to help your younger siblings.

There's nothing wrong with helping your family. But it becomes a burden when they expect so much from you, being the eldest, to help them all until they're well off, most of the time leaving nothing for yourself.

Being selfless is a good thing, but you should know when enough is enough. You don't have to sacrifice your whole youth just so they can enjoy theirs. I was always being pressured to study and work hard, even when my younger siblings are of legal age now and can work their fucking ass off. They even have the audacity to get into relationships and bring girls at home when they can't even buy their own toothbrush (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

They're so close to building a family, and here I am still working for all of them. It fucking sucks. They say they can't find a job, and my parents don't nag at them like they did to me when I was jobless for 3 MONTHS.

I started working when I was 18, am now 23. And now my siblings are 19 and 20, and they are too lazy to look for a job, yet they have time to mess around and bring girls at home. They enjoy playing ML whenever they want to because they don't have a job to worry about. I'm so fucking done.

It's so frustrating. I want to run away. Maybe turn my back on them so they can be responsible for themselves? I wanna get away so bad.

I feel stressed, working two jobs without a time to do my hobbies. I can't even get ahold of my OWN paycheck（/TДT)/

I'm not even married yet but it feels like I'm already married with 10 kids. Just WTF. Can't say this to mom though.
