Why did I let myself walk into this one?

So my dad, 78 broke his hip last year but cant be alone and my stepmom is gone in Europe to visit her daughter and their home health nurse is taking a week vacation. Here's the deal. My dad bought both my sisters homes. And cars and everything else but it's not the point. The point is I've never received a literal dime. Ever. Not ever. They live in the same neighborhood within 4 blocks. I live 3 hours away, and work full time and in spite of not getting one vacation day in 7 years they just acted like naturally I should just be required to take two weeks off during the busiest time of the year to help him out. He told me he used to be proud of telling people he had a son but now he tries to forego it because he doesn't like saying "he's a recovering addict." Meanwhile my sister who lives 2 blocks away is home on maternity leave for their like, 84th baby in 3 years, not literally but 3 in 5 years. Why can't she do literally anything? Like why am I expected to give up my time when the same was never done ever for me? This is rhetorical. I just can't fathom the entitlement. I am not a transactional person by nature and in fact hate when people are but you gotta give SOMETHING, DUDE.
