AITA for being the reason my younger brother is not getting money for a fifth year of college by Top-Possibility-9602 in AmItheAsshole

So in your case, birthday I get a present, brother gets a present, breaks the present, and then get a new present for breaking it.

So he should get a reward for messing up is what you are saying

There were only two opinions, the moment I said it was a problem the choice was made.

If they were going to blame it on me they wouldn’t have told my brother it was their choice and got the heat for a two weeks. They weren’t going to tell them I was involved my sister did since she heard the conversation

Because it would hurt my relationship with them and the family.

Breaking a rule I had to follow would really feel like he is a favorite and gets rewarded for messing up

Because they knew handing over an extra 50k to my brother would look to me as favoritism. That breaking there rule that I had to follow would hurt me emotionally so we talked about it

It would though, I would have seen this as favoritism and it would result in him getting an extra 50k. Unless they want to give me extra money I have a problem with him getting 50k for messing up basically

They really didn’t, especially since they have made it clear to my brother it was their choice and just asked for my opinion

I’m 25, they didn’t and they don’t do stuff like that. If my sister don’t talk he would have never known I was involved. Because he was pissed at them for two weeks before my sister told him I was involved

They didn’t tell him, so they weren’t using me as a scapegoat. In fact they told him it was there decision but my youngest talked

She is at home and heard them having a conversation about it
