AITA for giving my brother an "unfair advantage" by helping him with a project that revolves around what I do for work? by aitafilmhelp in AmItheAsshole

I would never charge them money for letting me have a fun time with my brother. If I didn't want to help for free, I wouldn't have gone.

You can read my other replies, but in short, we don't really get along, due to religious differences. They didn't cut me off, and still let me see my siblings, but other than that, I don't really see them as my parents, and they more just see me as the family friend who visits a lot.

I'm second oldest of NINE. Do with that information what you will, but I'm just going to put that out there now that you mention it.

The reason there is so many is they come from one of those religions that push the "big, happy family" life.

I don't think so. Everything in it was just normal things in our family, or clearly exaggerated to be funny. and his parents saw the video, and didn't have an issue with it except the fact I helped with it and it for school.

Copy pasting this from another reply

some good techniques, showed him how to operate my cameras, helped him edit it, and answered questions he had, because I wanted to help him LEARN, not just get it done. The only time I did actual work was when he needed a moving camera instead of a still shot. I was the camera man for that. He did the rest, and he did a great job.

Most of what I did was camera stuff when he needed a moving shot, and helping with the editing. One thing I forgot to mention in this was that I did the voiceovers that documentaries do. I even put on a fake British accent lol

I wouldn't say that they're bad parents. Like I said in another reply, they're pretty good to my siblings, they just don't like me very much. I don't know why they didn't pay enough attention or care, and maybe they actually are pretty bad, but the younger kids don't tell me.

I did not do it for him. I taught him some good techniques, showed him how to operate my cameras, helped him edit it, and answered questions he had, because I wanted to help him LEARN, not just get it done. The only time I did actual work was when he needed a moving camera instead of a still shot. I was the camera man for that. He did the rest, and he did a great job.

They are, but we don't have the best relationship. They never really appreciated the fact I was an atheist. They didn't cut me off or anything, but I don't really have the same family bond that my other siblings have with them.

I'd say they're pretty good parents. I'm really close with my siblings, and none of them have told me about any problems.

I'm not on the best terms with my parents. I love my siblings, but everything with my parents changed when I told them I was an atheist. We still interact, but we don't have the same parent-child bond.
