This is a throwaway as my brother is on reddit and I dont want him knowing my real account name.

So, my 37f, brother Mike 35m, is a knob. Always has been and always will be. He has been babied to the point of uselessness by our mum and dad and that’s made him an entitled slob.

When he was younger he showed promis playing Rugby which had my mum and dad believing he was gonna be a superstar.

The problem was though that he never had the work ethic to fully fulfill his potential. However this meant that he was the golden boy of the family and he could do wrong in my parents eyes.

He was a bully at school, which they brushed off as other kids making up lies, but he was an even bigger bully at home to our younger sister Kelly 31f. He would constantly ‘prank’ here.

Which basically meant he would do anything he could embarrass her, including things like pulling her dress up infront of the whole family at a wedding when she was 15. Mum and dad just said it was siblings being siblings, but the rest of the family were mortified by his behaviour.

I did try and stick up for my sister and it worked to a certain extent, but after I went to away to Uni, there wasn’t much I could do as mum and dad just dont listen to anyone.

It got so bad that when she was 18, my sister gave up going to her dream University, St Andrews and instead moved to London to go to the Imperial College London. This was a huge shock to all of us as she had been talking about St Andrews since she started high school at 11. When i asked why, she said that St Andrews was too close to home and she would be expected to go back home more often, but if she went to London she would only have to go home for Christmas. This broke my heart.

After she left, she did exactly that, the only time she was home was Christmas and when I got married. This really annoyed mum and dad as they said she was abandoning the family. I kept my mouth shut and just let them whine occasionally as I didn’t want an argument.

After graduating from Uni my parents expected her to move back home, but she didn’t. She got a job working in southern England and stayed down there. We are from Scotland for reference.

Six years ago, Kelly met a great guy, Jake 30m. The day she met him she called me gushing about him and I’ve honestly never heard her speak about anyone the way she does him. I’ve met him several times when I’ve gone down to visit Kelly and he’s great. Good looking, funny, great job, his family are lovely and most importantly, he treats Kelly like she hung the moon. Its very cute.
