When My Stepfather Gave My Brother $500K To Buy A House, I Got Nothing So I Set My Conditions & Then

[@philcoates9274]

Jack's doing the right thing Alex is jumping from job to job asking for handouts

[@unholysporkable]

I can understand how he feels but, dang he sounded like a petulant child.

[@rehanmemon3969]

Friggin agree. Look, I get that you don't agree with your dads priorities and his ideas of fairness, and that sucks. But if you dropped out of college not for financial or emergency reasons, and there aren't any emergency obligations and assistance you require, you don't get to dictate where your dad spends his money. It's HIS Money. You are not entitled to it.

[@keithmcdonald787]

Right? If I was OPs step dad I would be like”🤷 ok don’t let the door hit you on the way out” to his ultimatum.

[@DCD762]

I agree

[@lindalanteigne8909]

Dad left because of mom’s affair with Jack. He is your brothers dad.

[@Lichor2369]

Nailed what I thought the first 5 mins in.

[@valenciahajduk5194]

Jack doesn’t owe Alex anything. He sounds entitled. If he jumping from job to job and has no plans, why does Jack have to pay for that?!

[@rInkStories]

I feel the same way! If Alex hasn’t shown any commitment or stability, why should Jack be expected to cover for him

[@headofchaos298]

Soo your idea is to help the one who don't need help, and leave the one who's struggling to fend for him self?? and if you took the role of a father, don't help one child and leave the other, and yes Jack owe Alex everything because he's the father now, and helping one child and leaving the other is not a parents thing to do, even teachers are not allowed to do that with students.

[@tammythrillz]

​@@headofchaos298did you watch the video?? He has clearly helped him throughout his indecisiveness. Alex is in the wrong expecting the EXACT support without any effort like Noah

[@headofchaos298]

@@tammythrillz I did watch, and clearly you don't know how kids react to their parent giving something as important as 500K to one and leave the other, no matter how much you helped them both or took care of them, IF your son is not a drug addict or something similar to that you should always help them don't support one and leave the other thinking your helping the good one or the smart one or what ever, and you saying without any effort is something a parent should never say to his kids when clearly they're trying their best, he's working even though he's changing jobs and doing his best to find what he likes, I know he's not like Noah who already knew what he's goals are but you need him to be something probably not meant or will never be, so just help them and leave the rest to them because in the end no one will put the blame on you for not supporting. And your kids are not companies you invest only in the successful one.

[@mariesantiesteban3067]

The guy confessed to be rebellious with bad grades, college drop out, with no stable job and you think imma hand over 500k…yeah, maybe in another life, you’ll get your shit straight sooner.

[@catch22ash]

Recap: Overgrown man squandered every opportunity, has a weird definition of "fairness", keep throwing tantrums demanding free money from his stepfather.

[@jacquelinemois]

It's pure and simple jealousy. The brother is responsible and stable whereas Alex seems to be the prodigal son. The s.dad has every right to give away his money to anybody and it's disgusting how Alex forced his hand. I bet he won't get another dime when s.dad dies.

[@cagataycetin5314]

Damn, earn your money and make him regret. Dont be entitled brat!

[@mimiwhite1963]

Dude should have just gone no contact. No amount of money is worth what he did. I understand he wanted to feel equal and respected but in families equality is rare. It has never been equal in my family or other families I know. There are always a favorite. And the truth is is stepdad did not owe him a dime.

[@whatnotANTICS]

People prolly knew him as MR. KAREN

[@tammythrillz]

He sounds insufferable my goodness!!! Even if Jack was his biological father he's not entitled to HIS money. They gave him a realistic goal and he's upset? Talking about fairness Jack giving him that $500k would be unfair to Noah seeing how hard he had worked for it, this whole thing is a mess.

[@tilottamabanerjee5953]

Fact is that money comes with responsibilities

[@ksmith96]

' No fair! Just because I work at McDonald's doesn't mean I don't deserve a half million house too!!! ' 😫😫😫 🤨🤭😄

[@isaidajhooks7631]

Let me be clear as a Terrence. It is my money and yes, I decide where I invested no question asked my money and no, you don’t deserve it. Just because you are my child if your choices don’t line up with what I want to invest in absolutely correct that I will not invest in it and if you feel sad about that is not my problem. It is my money.

[@isaidajhooks7631]

It’s not control!!! oh he didn’t make the money. Oh, he didn’t work for the money, but he wants in on it.??? You don’t need to draft a letter that you just have to put your boots on get to work and prove that you have earned it. If you don’t prove that, why are you drafting a letter? Sounds like another flaky decision from somebody who is flaky and plans on staying that way….

[@amrokas]

Entitled brat

[@TALLCAT6969]

Alex the reason that Jack support Noah is cause Noah is Jack son that Jack had an affair with your mom and that caused your dad leave that's why Jack is all there for Noah and not you. You should just look out for yourself don't worry about Noah or Jack you just think about yourself and you should just live your best life every and go no contact with Noah or Jack.

[@snowinglotus9824]

All the man said was earn the help.😂 what's the entitled confusion.

[@cliffcarden3411]

The reason your mom doesn't say much is because your brother is jacks dad I don't guess you figured that out it's simple

[@emi8679]

I'm sorry what was the point of this entire story?

[@tombelin2295]

OP couldn’t have handled it worse! When he found out about the gift he should have gone NC with entire family and waited for Jack to reach out and fix the problem!

[@DCD762]

Why has jack to fix the problem OP has been hopping from job to job, quit college without any apparent reason, been living life in easy mode He has 0 reasons to go NC First of he is their stepdad, has no obligation to either, second he has the right to decide which to help Your comment shows that you support entitlement

[@tombelin2295]

OP came across like a low end beta! First step in OP fixing the perceived unfairness was to convince jack he had insulted a high in Alpha and had wrecked the family!

[@animeshch]

I do not think Op's stepfather has any responsibility to Op. You should not expect anything this big from his stepfather. Whatever help he gives should be enough. If he gives something to his brother that's his choice.

[@Levithos]

Just call Noah Puppet, and Jack Gepetto.

[@djordjecamur900]

Well you would use that cash to party

[@BostonTony88]

op is a spoiled brat?

[@Burn1n9Bu5h]

OP feels like he's entitled to his stepdads money even though he's not leading a stable career and life path. Gtfo Edit: just finished this and I cannot believe how much of a brat that kid is. He wormed his way to 500k that he'll probably blow being irresponsible. OP sucks.

[@kevobeney5308]

There are several threads that I think need explaining more..... 1. Did Jack's mum have an affair? 2. Even though they are brothers, why is favouritism shown as tge jobs aren't told, or if the kids had different ideas when at school/ college and Jack wasn't encouraged to follow his passions? 3. Why didn't Jack at least attempt to reach out to his dad

[@SchantelleMayBautista-Manzano]

This POV sounded like the entitled villains on other POVs. Haha. Entitled, having the family cards, and "tearing family apart" line, and legal stuffs over dumb claims. Hahahha

[@MathewMeyer-m1d]

Another entitled child thinking fairness and equality is the norm. I dont disagree whith some of OP points, but feeling he is deservs some of his STEP FATHERS money. Entitlement at its finest.

[@smsff7]

Only helping one child is a shitty thing to do.

[@annabellegarcia4240]

So the child who applied himself to his studies and activities gets rewarded while the child who doesn't isn't rewarded for their lack of effort?

[@princessmarlena1359]

🎻🎵🎶

[@mariesantiesteban3067]

I’m sorry, but, you even said you were rebellious and didn’t get good grades, dropped out of college, haven’t had a stable job, yet you feel you deserve a 500k house. Why should bad choices get good rewards. Get your life straight and when he sees your stable, then yeah ask for it. Yet your brother got good grades, stayed out of trouble, got a degree and stable job. He should be rewarded. If I bought you a 500k house, I’d be afraid you lose it to stupidity.

[@adrianfisher3349]

It would be funny if Noah or Jack needed something from OP like a kidney or something and he started talking about conditions and family values 😂

[@alegendarywolf3278]

Idk i get why op is mad by the unfairness, but he does sound like a whiny brat cause he's upset his brother got a house.

[@alexdale2387]

If I was in these shoes, I would've sued that controlling tyrant and disowned noah for being selfish and accusing me of such. You don't need this toxicity

[@ContagiousStuff]

Op seems to be in the wrong, he doesnt owe you anything and never adopted you plus your not giving insight as to why he doesnt trust you other than you bouncing jobs. What happened to your jobs? Why cant you hold them long? Commitment means alot with money and he might not know you as an adult if you dont visit so he might not trust you.

[@hafizanbo6420]

Op just an entitled grown up brat

[@Mrwillie95]

If ì was op I would go no contact with the family

[@pandamoon8067]

OP can go on no contact can’t expect to get money than later on have to pay the money back I think & believe Noah pay Jack back money OP don’t think or see that struggle or not that’s my opinion

[@DCD762]

This OP is entitled as heck

[@turtleark]

The stepdad is right. He is free to give money. OP is an entitled kid

[@shadow8fire]

Can you say entitlement. Earn it.

[@neneile383]

Jack is right.

[@annabellegarcia4240]

Fair? Life ain't fair buddy. Grow up.

[@devhxh1558]

So damn ENTITLED, probably a fake story

[@edgarallanalejandro641]

The guy in the story sounds intitled the stepdad just don't want to throw money in a person that is a challenge dropout that move from job to job, and the father in the letter just sounds like a financially responsible person.

[@gamerkat1492]

I'd go NC with with him once he PROVED his favoritism same with brother BLOCK THEM ALL

[@1Outis1]

Op didn't gain any control, he gave it all up, for some goddamn money. He should have walked away, when Jack offered the money. Jack is a manipulative asshole, but op didn't have to stick around for it. He should have gotten away while he could.

[@joemeyer7718]

He sound real entitled and jealous !!

[@Jomichael-h1r]

😅 grow up

[@sosimarnopaslein103]

Sad op but he your step father dont have to help you he is not your father... He can do what ever he want with money...

[@jstarr2k4]

Entitled brat. Step dad doesnt owe you anything.

[@Stuart267]

*Noah coasts through life on his fathers dime. Meanwhile OP struggled, clawed his way through life. AI really doesn't have much imagination when it comes to human interaction does it?*

[@jenniferspoon5143]

Honey I am sorry to say that Jack won again! He got control over you after all. He paid you to drop the issue and pretend everything was ok. You now are expected to show up and shut the hell up!

[@kimsmith1746]

Ummm, I'm only 10 minutes into this video, and unless the narrative changes, you seem to have been listening to a different video. OP was bailed out several times, by his own admission. The step-dad is sick of throwing good money after bad at OP'S poor decisions. Step-dad rightly sees OP as a bad investment. Although he is still willing to continue to help out OP, he is unwilling to throw away $500K all at once on him.
