No one likes an entitled person. Anyone exhibiting such behavior can immediately spark tension, whether in a coffee shop queue or, in this case, at home among siblings.
People on Reddit have been opening up about their brothers and sisters who’ve been acting like spoiled brats. They’ve shared photos of damaged personal belongings and screenshots of annoying text messages showing a complete lack of respect.
We've collected some posts that stood out for all the wrong reasons. As these images show, your sibling disagreements probably weren't as bad.

Found Out Today That My Older Brother Sold Literally Every Single Valuable Pokémon Card I Owned As Soon As I Left For College
I had over 10 pages of rare and holographic cards, which I spent many years collecting as a kid.
Somebody just discovered d***s. EDIT: BP is still censoring d-r-u-g-s.
Never Let Your Brother And Sister-In-Law Stay Over Temporarily
Only solution is kicking them out ASAP before they take over the apartment and have him kicked out instead. God, some people are such pushovers when it comes to "family".
My Sister Has An Alarm Go Off Every Morning But Doesn’t Keep Her Phone In Her Room
Put a pillow over it so it's muffled. You don't have to hear it, and she misses her alarm. Win/Win
Experts have defined this type of behavior towards family members in general as genetic relational entitlement. You feel you can get away with anything because of blood relations. In this case, it is much stronger among siblings because of their profound effect on each other.
“The sibling relationship has the ability to uniquely shape a child’s behavior, adjustment, and well-being, for better and worse,” Utah University professor Shawn D. Whiteman told the American Psychology Association.
My Brother Decided To Take His Anger Out On Something Of Mine
I can likely fix whatever didn’t get absolutely obliterated, but I will have to order replacement parts for 3 of the 7 landing pieces, as the technic axles and connectors are toast.
That looks to me like the big Lego Millennium Falcon. This Model is sold for €849,99 and consists of 7541 pieces. Destroying such a model is quite costly.

Siblings are strong influential figures during childhood because they can offer a similar perspective that parents cannot.
“No one else will know what it was like growing up with your parents in your household, and that sense of being understood by another person can be incredibly powerful,” said Northeastern University professor Laurie Kramer.

My Sister Put A Password On My Computer. When I Asked Her What The Password Was, She Said She Forgot
Thankfully it is Windows, and you can always log in as the ADMIN (as long as your sister didn't take that account). Work around is available on MS Win help site. Then set your own password as Admin your sister can't guess and don't let her touch your PC again.
My Brother Has A Habit
Turn phone on silent, or DND. If brother throws rocks at your window(s), throw them back, call HOA Security.
These images depict a chaotic relationship between siblings, with a lack of respect evident. According to University of Missouri professor Megan Gilligan, a parent playing favorites could lead to such a strained relationship.
“The presence of favoritism, even if you’re the favored one, can cause competition and conflict. Perceptions of favoritism also exacerbate conflict during times of stress, such as when caring for parents later in life,” she said.
Sister Got Mad And Threw My Laptop
I saved up for so long to buy this and I didn't even get to have it for a few months. She threw it across the car because apparently that side of the back seat is her side and she's petty. I know it's not the end of the world, but literally no one cares that she did it. She doesn't have to pay to replace it, and she's not facing any repercussions whatsoever from my parents.

Let My Sister Borrow One Of My Favorite Books In Near-Perfect Condition. This Is How I Got It Back
But even with the presence of favoritism, it is advised to take things as they are. According to author and wellness coach Elizabeth Scott, PhD, igniting a “rivalry” with a sibling does not help the situation.
“Just accept that your relationship with your parents is yours and try to keep it separate from sibling relationships,” she wrote in an article for Very Well Mind.
I Let My Sister Borrow My AirPods. This Is How She Gave Them Back To Me
Apparently, it’s from her hair dye. I’ve tried everything and the stain won’t come out. The fact that it happens to be the color of earwax annoys me the most.
My Sister Saying "Who Cares? You Can Still Drive The Truck!" To Her Bag Scratching Up The Glove Box Of My Car
My Little Siblings Fried The TV And VCR My Grandparents Gave Me By Just Repeatedly Pressing The Buttons Over And Over When I Wasn’t Looking
It’s funny how something that lasted over a third of a century breaks in a matter of seconds in this house.
Polar opposite personalities can also cause siblings to drift apart. But according to licensed marriage and family therapist Whitney Goodman, opening up to each other can bridge that gap.
"Finding a shared hobby or interest, spending time getting to know each other, asking for help in an area where a sibling has experience or expertise," she told Brit + Co. "If you have completely different personalities, it helps to approach them with curiosity and interest in what makes them unique."

My Sister "Taste Tested" Our Krispy Kreme Donuts
I hate it when my father does this. One day I just made an EXTREMELY SPICY, like mouth burning throat searing stomach melting butt-blasting spicy, butter toasted sandwich. He didn't taste test anyone's food ever again. Although I did get a yelling at by my mother (who did enjoy the karma dealt on my father) but it was so worth it
"Sweet, Ice Cream!" "God Dammit, Sister!"
But if you can't find a way to get along despite all efforts, Goodman advises drawing the line and avoiding touchy matters.
"It may help to set boundaries around certain topics or issues to avoid miscommunication. Adult siblings should also discuss how they would like their relationship to function and what expectations they have for the relationship."

My Brother Left My Original Super Nintendo Outside In A Box For Years
I left my original, working Super Nintendo and a collection of games at my parents' house when I moved in with my husband. I assumed it was safe in the attic for the past 5 years. When I came home for Christmas this year, my brother tells me it’s ruined.
How, you ask? He had used it at some point apparently, then brought it back to my parents' and left it in the side yard in a plastic storage box. He said he’d check on it periodically, but never told me it was there. If he had, I would have flown home just to move it to the attic myself. When he checked on it this year, the box had broken down and everything was ruined by water.

Texts From My Sister When I Already Had Plans And Couldn’t Watch Her Kid
For context, we both live at my grandma's house, I work nights (7 PM - 3:30 AM) and she works days. I made plans for the weekend a week in advance, and she texted me at almost 2 AM to tell me she worked at 10 AM and needed me to watch my niece. I told her I wasn’t going to be home because I had plans that weekend and this was her response. I chose not to engage because in the past, engaging when she’s like this just leads to paragraph after paragraph telling me how horrible I am.
First of all Lady, sister or not, don't send messages in REDDIT format. It's not cute. Especially not if you want something. Second of all: don't harass people who work the night shift to cater to your needs during the day. And lastly: it's your kid, you deal with it. Nobody is obligated to fix your problems for you.
My Sister Threw A Book At My New Monitor
From the comments section of the OP --- Nah my parents aren’t making her pay for it, she doesn’t have any money anyways all she does is lay in bed and watch Disney. She didn’t say anything, she was trying to throw books at me and then just turned and threw one right at my monitor, it’s a really s****y situation :/ I looked for months for just a simple monitor, it was hard because there was no stock coming here and everything was sold out because of people working from home, it cost a lot of money too and I barely got to play on it for even a month. The warranty won’t pay for accidental or criminal damage and repairing it will cost a lot, my hopes to get a replacement from the store.
Sister Expects Me To Buy Her A Bottle Of Water And Deliver It To Her Class Instead Of Walking Up To A Water Fountain
Why even entertain this entitlement? I wouldn't even bother answering her bs.

This Is Why You Never Take Your Older Brother Fishing
Today, My Brother Unboxed My Sealed, Legendary Edition Copy Of Halo 3 From 2007
He didn't know it being sealed was what made it valuable. Because it had been stored in so long, he just thought I'd forgotten it existed! And he was only a baby when I bought it, so he doesn't know I bought it as a collectible.
I forgave him once I calmed down. It sucks, I'm upset, but I know it was just a mistake.

Little Sister Left Cheese On Our R2-D2 Xbox 360
I blame the parents for raising brats. We were taught to respect stuff and each other. Our family were all on the same team and looked out for each other. Having said the my sister's eldest boy is horrible. Got into d***s and it ruined him.
In most of those cases, unless you're dealing with young kids, you should just have them repay for what they did. You break, you pay is the law everywhere, full stop. I for one would find a way to repay myself on their account if they happened to disagree.
