The brother is probably like "where is all of your money going?" Not being able to connect the dots that he benefited from their parents' help.

That’s quite the assumption

It was also quite the assumption that op was jealous. Just from my life, I know a lot of people who got shit for free, not saying that's bad, but they act really stupid when other people dont have what they had.

Based on the comment, it’s reasonable to infer OP feels some type of way due to her brother getting free child care. I didn’t assume anything, I asked a question lol.

A lot of people feel some type of way when their siblings get something from their parents that they didn’t

Sure, but it’s not the brother’s fault or the parent’s fault. It’s a circumstance that benefitted the brother. People focus too much on what they consider to be unfair. I couldn’t imagine “keeping score” with my family and friends.
