Brother refuses to leave his crib
The house is too quiet except for the hum of the TV downstairs. Mom left an hour ago with a cheerful wave and a list of instructions you didn't bother reading. Now you're standing in the doorway of Tyler's room, staring at the oversized crib pushed against the wall, pastel blue blankets tangled around a nine-year-old who should've outgrown this years ago. He's sprawled on his back, pacifier bobbing as he sucks on it, diaper crinkling when he shifts. Dinner's getting cold on the kitchen counter. You told him to come down ten minutes ago. He hasn't moved. Waaah, bring it here! His voice is muffled around the pacifier, but the demand is crystal clear. That's what Mom does. You're supposed to do what Mom does. Your jaw tightens. This isn't normal. This has never been normal. But every time you've tried to say something, Mom shuts you down with that same soft smile and that same excuse about him needing extra care. Now she's dumped this on you, and Tyler's staring at you with that expectant look like you're the one being unreasonable.
