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 Sister Decided To Organize My Bookshelf
It looks so stupid on TV when they turn books backwards like this on home improvement shows.
At least you can rearrange it again how you want. They are at least not destroyed orcruin.
Proportionality is a bit lost on you, isn't it?

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.

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.

I Have Been In College For Two Weeks. Visited Home For The Weekend, And My Brother Has Already Managed To Destroy My Room
As a middle child, my mom made my brother and I share the largest room. He is extraordinarily messy and doesn't respect my space or things, so I just started sleeping in my mom's room. Since we shared a room, my stuff is still in there. Currently, I'm in my sister's room, which is much smaller than my brother's, so it's unrealistic to fit everything in there. My brother has plenty of space, so my stuff taking up space is fine there, but he decided he didn't want some of my stuff in "his" room anymore, so after he stole my mattress and bed frame, he tossed a bunch of my things from the room.
My Little Brother Hammered My 1922 Lincoln Wheat Penny Into Oblivion
He grabbed a hammer and the penny from my room, because he was mad at me for accidentally stepping on one of his toys and breaking it.
Your brother destroyed a coin worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, because you accidentally broke a toy that probably cost five bucks at most, which he most likely left laying out in the first place? Can you say, 'budding psychopath'?
My Sister And Her Underage Friends Want My Boyfriend To Drive Almost An Hour Out To Rent A Hotel Room In His Name For Them, Because They’re Not Old Enough To Do So Themselves
We had a 15 minute phone call of her begging and telling me that I’m ruining her friend’s birthday by saying no. I explained to her that she can find rooms, they just won’t be as nice. Also explained the legality of things and how I’m not getting in trouble for her and her friends. She hangs up and says she’ll look. She texts me 30 minutes later saying there’s nothing and she needs my boyfriend to do it. I know she’s lying and didn’t even look, so I look for her and find her a hotel less than 10 minutes from where she’s at. She hits me with a "we wanted a pool" and hasn’t responded since.

My Sister Initially Asked For Money To Get Food Because Her Car Is At The Shop, So I Offered Food. Then Figured Out She Still Had EBT Money Left
My sister is a recovering addict, so I never ever give her cash. When I dug in a little bit to what she was looking to get money for, she said she wanted it to rent a car from Turo, which I'm absolutely not putting my credit card down on, so I offered to have her groceries delivered. In trying to make a case that she needs money instead of groceries, she tells me that she has EBT money left, so I offer to pay the fees and tip charged for delivery so she can use her EBT. No dice.

I think my younger brother stole half the pack for himself and his girlfriend.

Someone owes me a new pack and I guess I'm going to have to start keeping track of how many are left.

I blocked her on every single social media platform. This is the text I woke up to from an unsaved number.

There are a lot of things she did in the past that are difficult to even try to forgive.

My Girlfriend Slept Over And Slept In While I Went To Work. My Brother Wanted Her To Leave
Basically, my girlfriend slept over and I had work early in the morning. I left for work and let my girlfriend sleep in a bit more before she left. Apparently, my brother has this unspoken rule that we shouldn’t leave people in our house alone (he had something going on while he was in college where he was gone and someone violated his room or something). We’d never discussed it and this was the first time I’d left my girlfriend of 2 years at the house while I left for work. He ended up asking her to leave after these texts and she felt rejected by him. I talked to him when I got home and he apologized for being mean over text but still feels like he doesn’t trust her enough to let her stay at the house alone. I know his fear is irrational but he asked me to accept his rule, and if I don't, he’ll consider me disrespecting him. I don't know how to get him to trust her.
Maybe brother would like some privacy IN HIS OWN HOUSE? Yeah, I wouldn't want someone's girlfriend around when I'm in my own house, and no, I would not trust someone's girlfriend not to snoop around if she's alone.

Your brother was right. I first saw jagged white triangles not pyramids. His is more relaxing.

Texts From My Oldest Sister
My oldest sister is 27 and I'm a 17-year-old senior in high school, who happens to have a room that's close to hers in the house. I play games with my friends at night and enjoy talking with them, while my sister already graduated college and works as a nurse. She sends these texts whenever she gets back home at night.
And she is right. Quiet down at night, no voicechat at night and be considerate of those who do work. You're rude to knowingly disturb her sleep. Even if she sleeps during the day: be considerate! I didn't even take into account the type of work she does which can be mentally draining as well as long shifts. Being considerate to people who work is what a "good person" does.
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.
I admit I am shocked at what I have just read. There were 5 kids in my family and I never once saw behaviour like this, even when we had our (expected) disagreements over the years. Please someone tell me this is atypical behaviour.
Wow. When my sister & I were kids yes we'd fight but we'd never intentionally distroyed something of the other one; that's just wrong. Well technically my sister broke my back brace (I have scoliosis, had to wear it at night) when she was mad at me, but that was a different situation. She was a toddler & got mad at me for something so she threw it down the stairs & then jumped on it, breaking it beyound use.) Joke was on her though I HATED wearing that thing. So between seeing the pediatric orthopedic & getting a new brace made I didn't have to wear it for about a month. LOL.
I don't know what kind of demon hell spawn these people have but none of this would fly in my family!
Man, I'm glad my sibs and I never went through this kind of junk. My brother and I are 11 months apart (yeah, Irish twins) and we used to pool our $ then split the pool evenly so we both had $. My sister is ~9.5 years younger so we always spoiled her anyway. We never had $hit like this between any of us, ever. I can't imagine...
What's with these siblings deliberately destroying your stuff? Are they destructive psychos?Unless they're toddlers.
