Teen's Reluctance To Borrow A Backpack To Her Brother Leads To Full-Blown Family Drama

by Damjan

Sibling rivalry is a normal and common occurrence in families with more than one child. It refers to the competition, jealousy, and resentment that can arise between siblings as they vie for their parents' attention, affection, and resources.

This can manifest in various ways, such as arguing, fighting, and competing for grades or achievements. Sibling rivalry is often fueled by the perceived unfairness of how parents distribute their children's time, attention, and resources.

However, sibling personality differences and different maturity levels can also influence it. One of the most common manifestations is creating drama over nothing.

And we have one of those stories today. One Redditor asked, "AITA for not wanting to give my brother my backpack?"

OP is a 14 Y.O. girl with a problem. Her adult brother wants to borrow her backpack for a cruise.

OP keeps her books in that backpack and doesn't want to give it. Her mom says she should suck it up and find a place to store her books.

OP caved and texted her brother that he could have the backpack, but now he is angry and doesn't want it. Her brother even became vindictive, threatening to cancel their Spotify account. (Now, if that's not adult behavior, what is?)

This "problem" does evoke nostalgia, doesn't it? Don't you just wish to go back to times when this looked like a problem to you?

The lack of real problems in childhood made us create drama over, well, basically anything. However, it was rare that adults would join us and fuel it.

Sadly, this is the case here. OP's adult brother is acting like a teen too, threatening to take away her Spotify privileges.

It is clear that these kids need to grow up. Especially the brother.
