Everywhere you go, you will meet people who have it better than you and people who have it worse. That is just life. We cannot all be in the same situation, and it is best to not compare ourselves to others because someone is bound to get hurt as a result.

The girl in this Reddit story needs this serious reminder, as she thinks it is okay to act unbearably entitled at her aunt's house. OP (original poster) and her sister went over to their aunt's house to babysit her kids, when the sister decided it was okay to mock the kids for their 'small house'. She went on and on about how she could never live in such a small space until OP flat-out told her to shut up. That led the entitled sister to storm out of the house, and later have a grave conversation with her disappointed parents.

Keep scrolling to read the full story. After you are done, click here for a story of a woman who refused to continue babysitting her sister's kids after she refused to return the favor.

    Comfortable-Sea-2454 20h ago Judge, Jury, and Excretioner [357] ΝΤΑ Your sister is 17 and was acting like a spoiled rotten 3 year old. Don't worry about her not taking your calls due to her tantrum. She will just have to get over it.

    Sorry_I_Guess • 16h ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [46] ΝΤΑ But I find it very strange that your sister is 17 years old, your aunt apparently lives locally and you clearly have a relationship with her, but your sister has literally NEVER seen her house before in 17 years?

    Unable_Listen_8810 OP 16h ago This is actually what surprised me aswell because she HAS been in the house before and has never made any rule remarks but maybe it was because we were alone in the house? All the other times our aunt has been with us so she might've said it out-loud this time because it was just us two.

I really think you should tell your parents. The kids may tell their parents, and it'll cause friction throughout your family.

    EmpressEmryss • 19h ago • NTA and she needs to learn quick that kind of attitude and behavior will end up with her needing to visit mommy/daddy at the dentist office for a new set of teeth. Imagine when she starts dating if she goes to her S.O's house and says that in front of their parents? Honestly if she never talks to you again you dodged a b'let op
