    One day, when he made the poster’s wife cry, he finally kicked out his toxic brother, but he was surprised to face backlash from his other brothers

    They say that you should never bite the hand that feeds you, but this phrase definitely eluded this guy, who was the original poster’s (OP) younger brother. Although the man was 32 years old, he had never lived alone and was extremely entitled as he got a lot of free passes from his father and grandfather. However, they also got sick of his behavior and kicked him out.

    Well, he came begging to OP. The problem was, our guy knew exactly how things would turn out, yet he agreed to take him in for a month. That’s when the hell ride started for the poster’s wife. Her brother-in-law was an absolute menace and shamelessly treated her like a housemaid. He expected her to do all his chores since she was doing them for his brother.

    The woman was into acting and got work every 6 months or so, but she was also busy with auditions and classes. However, this guy literally had no respect for her. He demanded she do his laundry, cook for him, and even disturbed her while she was working. The worst part was that OP worked during the day and his brother worked nights, so the poster wasn’t there to shut him up.

    The guy never listened to his sister-in-law, and his reason for disturbing her was that he didn’t believe in her career. One day, he made her cry, and OP kicked him out in a fit of rage. Well, their other brothers accused him of being heartless, claiming that the guy had “mental health issues.” However, the poster felt he just used it as an excuse to act entitled and never got help when offered.

    When OP vented online, he got a harsh reality check from netizens. According to them, he wasn’t the jerk for kicking him out; rather, they called him out for housing him in the first place. The fact that he knew how toxic his brother was and still made his wife go through so much is honestly problematic. He should have pushed a boundary when the guy showed up.

    Experts also stress that setting up healthy boundaries is key to personal well-being. They further elaborate that establishing them is also important for protecting emotional health, reducing conflict, and encouraging independence. The poster should have really thought of his wife before he decided to take in his brother.

    Many netizens, just like OP, wondered whether he was using mental health issues as an excuse for acting entitled. After all, he refused to get help or work things through. Research emphasizes that people with a sense of entitlement have high demands, expect others to do things for them, act melodramatically, and lack gratitude. That sounds like him, but whatever the case, the guy definitely needs help.

    Also, it was heartbreaking to see how he treated OP’s wife. Studies have shown that when women are forced into doing domestic chores, it can increase their level of stress and might spark mental health challenges. Well, it’s a good thing the poster finally decided that his wife had had enough and kicked his brother out. Better late than never, right?

    The kind of people like OP's brother has a chance to change only and if only they reach the bottom. This kind of entitlement and mooching off will last as long as there are people willing to enable it.

    Got a cousin like this. Always the victim. Can’t hold down a job? Somehow it’s always the job’s fault. He spins wild stories about why he’s unemployed and claiming benefits in his 40s, and apparently the reason he can’t get a council house is immigrants. I once told him he’s as much a mooch as anyone he complains about. He’s never contributed to the country, only sponged off it, so why being born here makes him think he’s more entitled is beyond me.

    I know of a few people that use the "migrants are taking our jobs!" as well. It's like "nah, if you actually got off your fat a‍ss and tried looking for work, you'd have more chance of finding something."

    "Helping" people like OP's brother is not helping them at all. It's enabling. He will never face his mental problems if he doesn't have to because family will always bail him out of problems.
