Rape, murder, theft, setting fires, assault are wrong. Not subjective at all.

Yeah, but the “right thing” is subjective in families who aren’t dealing with murder and rape.

When I was growing up, my neighbor had a younger sister with Down’s syndrome. Her parents always said she was going to take care of her sister when they grew up. She would have panic attacks about it. Her parents were livid when she applied to college across the country and even angrier when she never came back. They kept saying “They raised her to do the right thing!” and said they had no idea what went wrong. We weren’t even that close but I remember her crying in the backyard a lot when we were kids.

What a sh!t kid.

I watched love is blind UK and one of the men had a brother with downs that he loved and planned to help take care of.

Both parents should make the arrangements, trusts, govt program and aid, living squared away. Not dump it on the sibling.

Nothing to do with that.

It implies you didn’t do the moral or ethical thing. Societal.

Agree this is the genesis of the phrase.

Not every family has those kinds of resources. Worrying about the care of an adult child with special needs is a real concern for many, many parents. It's why some resort to state care.

It's cheaper to dump it on the sibling.

Cheating/adultery, knowingly and willingly sleeping with someone married or cheating in your own!!!!

I would be so disappointed in my kid if they did this.

Sadly, it seems most families of cheaters are not.
