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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. 

ADVERTISEMENT

"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."

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

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

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.

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.

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.
