The brother being a better parent than most actual parents.
It all seems to boil down to patience and Pavlov in the end.

Man, I hope this one is actually real.
I hope it's not, what the hell kind of parents do these kids have??
Sometimes they're working multiple jobs, sometimes they were mistreated themselves as kids. We shouldn't be too quick to judge.
Not entirely uncommon, unfortunately
Isn't this just parentification?
If it's healthy for you does it need a label?
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!
I thought it was some weird sex thing at first but you never know what you get with greentexts.
Expected a weird twist, got pleasantly surprised
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?
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.
Most times neet's are people with mental health issues or depression also.
