Would you give $50 to a sibling who doesn't even talk to you to help them pay their rent?

My dad keeps asking me to give my sister $50 even though she lives with her boyfriend. What is a boyfriend for if he can't even give you $50 to help pay the damn rent??

No. You're not responsible for taking care of your sister, especially one that doesn't talk to you. Tell your father, as a parent, it's his job to help you too, not guilt you into helping your sibling who needs to learn how to stand on her own two feet, like you're doing. She'll never learn how to take care of herself if everyone bails her out. And, she has chosen to cut you out of her life. He shouldn't be encouraging you to be her doormat.
