Redditor Gets Accused Of Taking Advantage Of Her Financially Struggling Sister After Offering Her A Job Cleaning Her Flat
Some people are never satisfied, no matter how hard you attempt to help them. You can come up with the best offer there is, but they will still find a way to criticize it and condemn you for not trying hard enough.

It's always better to cut these people off from your life to avoid dealing with this kind of entitled behavior. It's not always easy to part ways with such people, especially if they happen to be family members you will eventually interact with.
No matter how much you try to avoid them, they always find a way back to you. Some people are impossible to please, and you shouldn't make it your job to try to make them happy.
A Redditor who goes by the username u/Important_Limit3121 made a post on the r/AmItheA**hole subReddit where she explained how she offered her sister a job cleaning her flat since she is struggling financially. The sister felt insulted by the offer and complained to their parents about how she was trying to take advantage of her poor situation.
The r/AmItheA**hole community had a lot of different reactions to the user's post. Scroll down to check out the full Reddit post, and scroll a little further to read the comments from the original post.
Here's the original post by Reddit user u/Important_Limit3121:
OP's sister had been asking for money even before her boyfriend lost his job, so she offered her a job.
Despite accepting the job offer, the sister decided to complain to their parents about OP's 'insulting' offer.
OP thinks she might potentially be the a-hole for the following reason:
Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/Important_Limit3121's post:
It's always less money when you work for a private person.
If better offers exist elsewhere, the sister should take them.
OP's offer is still better than nothing.
You can always say no to an offer.
There are better ways to deal with such a situation.
The parents can always offer her a better arrangement.
You can either accept an offer or decline it.
No one is forcing the sister to take the offer.
If the parents don't approve of the offer, they can counter with a better one.
The alternative is probably more work for less pay.
It doesn't take that long to completely clean OP's flat.
“If she doesn’t want it don’t accept the offer. Like????”
OP should retract her offer and cut her off from her life.
If the boyfriend has access to better offers, the sister should do that instead.
“If you paid 100 each month, that's 50 pounds per hour.”
The sister is not a professional and should not be earning as much as one.
OP should retract her offer and let her sister deal with her own problems as she sees fit. She was nice enough to offer her a way to make some extra money, and all she got in return was accusations and insults.
