Unresolved Tensions: Father and Daughter’s Struggle Over the Future of the House
A Reddit user shares her story where she is looking to buy a house. Fortunately, her father owns multiple investment properties and said he would be willing to sell her any of his properties.Â
However, the one house she wants is currently being rented by her sister. Her father said that he had already promised her sister that house. So, he can’t sell her that one.
The original poster (OP) says the house is in a good area and within her price range. The other houses she has seen are half the size for double the price.

Is It About The House Or Her Sister?
The OP said she has the means to buy the house now, while her sister has only been renting the house for six months. The OP says her sister is not in a position to buy anytime soon. So, the OP believes that whoever has the money to buy the home first should get it.
The OP feels her father gives her sister everything while she gets nothing. She shares an experience where her dad would offer to pay for things for her sister and not pay for her, although she said he knew she needed help.
The Masses Weight In
Many Reddit users are pointing out that the OP has the means to buy a house and should find another one. A common remark is that the OP sounds petty and entirely within her dad’s right to do what he wants. Additionally, one user says the OP seems very intentional in going after the one home her sister is living in.
One Reddit user shares that rent to won contracts exits. They further add that the OP is acting selfish, wanting to kick her sister out, and recommends she stop trying to prove herself to her father.
Does the OP really want the house? Or does she just not want her sister to have it? Is the father playing favorites? Or does the OP resent her sister?
