That sentence is expressing hostility and scapegoating, directed at “those girls” in a way that devalues them simply for being who they are.
In plain terms, it suggests:
- The speaker is blaming certain family members for “costing” the family something
- “Just by existing” is an extreme statement that removes any real reason or behavior-based explanation
- It reflects resentment, prejudice, or emotional projection, not a fair judgment of anyone’s worth
If this is from a story or dialogue, it usually signals a character who is:
- bitter or financially stressed
- controlling or judgmental
- or trying to justify excluding someone from resources (like food, attention, or money)
If it’s something you heard in real life, it’s not a healthy or reasonable way to talk about people. Families have conflicts, but blaming individuals for “existing” is more about the speaker’s mindset than the people being targeted.
If you want, I can help you analyze the full context or rewrite it in a more realistic or less toxic way.
