    The brother being a better parent than most actual parents.

    It all seems to boil down to patience and Pavlov in the end.

        The story sounds healthy enough. I’m mostly critical of the role of the actual parents. I may be over reaching here, but it sounds like the writer ended up taking up a responsibility that should have been taken by the parents in the first place. However, the situation sounds healthy enough and parentification has positive sides too!

    Am disappoint.

    On a more serious note, I hope that’s a true story. A healthy social circle, even if it’s only 1 person, does wonders to people.

    I’d never really heard the term NEET before and had to do some research. I get what is, but not really why it is.

    Is it a lifestyle thing or a mental health thing?

      NEET is is an economic label that means Not in Employment Education or Training. Its the group often looked down on as leeches in society but the term doesn’t consider the reasons or health of the person.

      The sister in the post appears much more like the Japanese shutins or hikikomori who isolate themselves from all social contact. Technically being a hikikomori is a choice but mental health and big pressure culture probably dont help.

          Thats what i meant with “technically” a choice

          The ironic part in this is that ecologically/footprint speaking the impact might be pretty positive compared to going out.

            Yea, here where I live there is a culture of most jobs being seasonal work, so a good amount of people end up being NEET’s for about half a yera or less because of the lack of regular jobs and surplus of seasonal work that’s most times only 3-6 month’s long.

            You could say we are forced to be neet’s whenever tourist season isn’t ongoing.

              Thsts also what it was like it in medieval europe lord days. Peasants sow and harvested the lands but most of the year didn’t have much to do.

              Sounds alot better then the cant skip a paycheck or miss rent hustle culture.

                Peasants sow and harvested the lands but most of the year didn’t have much to do.

                They usually ploughed two times before harvest, and had to harrow at least once. After the harvest you had to process it, so cleaning threshing and winnowing grain or cleaning fruits. You’d need to weed it, maybe even plough it again after sowing to flatten out the ground and cover the seed and bury the weeds. If you’re lucky, you can add some manure and if you’re unlucky you might to plough agaaaain to retain more water on the field.

                Of course those staple crops are in addition to the vegetable and herb garden, and any animals that need care every single day.

                And all of this is ignoring the housework, gathering firewood, cooking for today and preserving for winter, cleaning and mending clothes, making yarn and weaving fabric, down to simply fetching water. Just housework is a fulltime job (not 40 hours, but literally all the time) in de middle ages.

                And if you fall Ill, break a leg, have a fire or just have a shitty dry summer, the general solution to that is dying slowly and painfully.

                Subsistence farming sucks so hard, people worldwide literally chose indentured servitude as a preferable alternative on many occasions.

                  I have no idea where this propaganda that is wasn’t so hard being a feudal peasant came from but it’s just laughable

      I heard it but I never had an idea what it meant, so I looked it up. NEET means they aren’t in education and don’t have a job employment.

      Normally it’s used to indicate a lifestyle which probably has an underlying mental health component. But the girl in this story is just really really autistic. IDK why the OP didn’t describe her as such once.
