This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I saw shower and started worrying but it's OK.
The proliferation of anime and Internet porn has mortally wounded familial relationships.
The brother being a better parent than most actual parents.
It all seems to boil down to patience and Pavlov in the end.
Anon is a normal, decent human being and sibling.
I wouldn't go that far. He's being decent to his sister, but there could be ulterior motives here. I've learned to never trust a 4chan post.

Expected a weird twist, got pleasantly surprised
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!
A sibling is a lot easier to approach in a lot of subjects than a parent, I think. Sometimes this is what a person needs, and if their sibling is willing and able to meet them on that this is just a good personal family dynamic.

The big point of parentification is that it is forced on the child by their parents. The role of sub-parent to siblings is assigned via negative means. This is often in punishment for not performing that role. This can manifest as verbal and mental abuse, such as guilt tripping, neglect where the parent doesn't do what is needed until the parentifide child does it out of necessity, and can go as far as full blown violence.
This reads more like the OP saw that their sister was in desperate need of help, and decided to take it upon themselves to do whatever they can to help her.
This is behavioral therapy, which you could say is a responsive mode of "parenting" that is highly effective.
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.
In most cases the culture and mental health are the reason a lot of them will choose that lifestyle, still not 100% by their own free will.
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.
Both sides are true.
Work itself was much harder and life itself could be called a struggle compared to today’s standards.
But the attitude towards works was very different and much more broken up. Leisure in medieval times is well documented.
“During times of high wages and good harvests, peasants could expect to work no more than 150 days a year.”
“During times of high wages and good harvests, peasants could expect to work no more than 150 days a year.”
Ahhh this article again. It misses a hugely important bit of info: this work is ONLY for their lord. To translate it to a modern context:
During a brief period after the Plague, a peasant "only" had to work 150 days to "pay the rent". If they wanted to do stuff like stay warm, wear clothes and eat, that came on top of those 150 days.
I have no idea where this propaganda that is wasn't so hard being a feudal peasant came from but it's just laughable

Bit of both, with a dash of enablers (usually parents).

The image attached makes this the fakest story I've ever seen on greentext
Well yeah the image is a drawing, it's not actually the sister
If you can find her a real life boyfriend you deserve a degree in social work

Most surprising thing in this greentext is seeing Freia mentioned as luxury chocolate! 🇳🇴
If you've ever tried US chocolate it's straight up god tier by comparison. Also, kvikk lunsj and fruktnøtt FTW
As an American, I agree. The aftertaste of Hershey chocolate is the same as vomit

Fair point. Like a lot of their foodstuff, it's been fucked up into oblivion (and yes, I know you can find decent food, it's just not the default).

TIL Lindt is luxury chocolate
When it's being compared to Hershey and Nestlé bars? Yeah.
Lindt is pretty good as packaged chocolate goes. You can always find some fancy artisanal chocolatier if you can afford to spend a few bucks per chocolate but for a HS student Lindt is pretty high tier.

It isn't? Yes there is way more expensive chocolate but Lind isn't cheap.

> 4chan
> greentext about sister
> no incest
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.
these feel good greentexts always make me feel a certain type of way.
I'd like to think they're almost certainly feel good posting, i.e. fake. But 4chan levels of fake.
Wh-Where are the jumper cables? This feels not fake which feels wrong for a greentext.
