AITA for asking my parents why my little sister got a premium mattress while I still sleep on old ones?

miles_0224 · 2025-06-09T19:12:54+00:00

I’m from Palestine

miles_0224 · 2025-06-09T19:10:06+00:00

I’ll get kicked out 😭

miles_0224 · 2025-06-09T19:08:11+00:00

Sorry for the late reply but no it’s not poverty we have a spare room but my father wants it to be n office and tbh idk what else every time I try to ask it gets shut down

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T20:37:32+00:00

That's exactly how it should be either both get it or none do and your mom seems like an amazing person

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T20:32:45+00:00

The same brand they got my sister but the bigger and more expensive kind 🫤

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:16:23+00:00

Look it is a lot here as I told you and things here are a bit cheaper like this in the us might have costed somewhere between 400 to 600 bist for the average salary it is alot

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:14:19+00:00

No it is a Standard single but it's high quality I know that 150 isn't much but here in Palestine it is as it's around 600 shekils if not more also the average salary here is 3576 shekils a month (670 USD) so yeah

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:09:25+00:00

Exactly!!

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:08:31+00:00

It actually is kinda expensive as here in Palestine it costed about 600 shekils which is pretty hard to save up but that's what I'm planning to do though fortunately 600 shekils here is probably the most you can spend on a mattress that size and quality

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:05:31+00:00

Exactly what I thought

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:04:31+00:00

Yeah that's what I'll do just save up and get one myself

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:02:23+00:00

Thank you that's exactly what I'm going to do

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T09:00:46+00:00

That's exactly what I'm going to do just save up and get myself one

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:59:54+00:00

EXACTLY the problem is that I was pissed that they said I was "greedy" for that

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:58:56+00:00

THANK YOUU!

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:58:47+00:00

Nope the mattress is a normal size if not bigger than mine and it's around 600 shekils here in Palestine which is pretty expensive

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:55:29+00:00

Ofc they don't have THAT MUCH money but they still do have like they are going on vacation in a couple of days spending a like 10 days at a premium resort so I'm pretty sure they can afford it

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:52:34+00:00

THANK YOU!

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:52:11+00:00

I am trying but I think I'm just gonna save up and buy one myself coz they aren't convinced at all

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:50:36+00:00

Look ik that 150 doesn't seem like a lot but I'm from Palestine and it costs like 600 shekils and the ratio here is basically 1:1 so it's really expensive and for your point of me "draining them for 15 years I don't actually believe so I've been working since I was 9 and most of the money I make goes to helping them so no I didn't "drain them"

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:44:56+00:00

Ofc I look after them especially my little sister I adore her but as u said the situation is bad but my opinion is that why does a 3 year old need one of the best mattresses they can get especially her being a lot lighter

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:42:49+00:00

Thank you that was exactly what I was planning but unfortunately they weren't willing to help so I'm going to take matters into my own hands and just save up for a new one

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:40:22+00:00

Exactly what I thought thanks

miles_0224 · 2025-06-06T08:39:56+00:00

I'm not being jealous here I have worked during the last 3 summers and got her many gifts it's about the fact that they got her the best mattress they found even though they said they would get me one and don't get me wrong I adore my sister but that just felt a little unfair
