When you’re a kid, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as getting one of your siblings in trouble with your parents.
It’s glorious!
And this Reddit user knows all about it.
Check out what they had to say in the story below!
The Day I Stood Up for Myself.
“We live in a compound comprising of relatives. My brother – 3 years older than me – was the first baby in that compound. Everyone doted on him, he was the center of attention, until I came along.
Uh oh…
Afterwards, when I was born, the attention shifted to me and he did not like that. He was my first bully. Won’t lend me his toys, pushes me, sometimes hits me. I took it all, feeling hurt with him for being mean to me.
One day, I was lying on the sofa and he does his usual bullying. Something in me said, I shouldn’t taking this treatment anymore. So when he came at me, I kicked him. Not even hard, I was just 6 at the time. But, oh boy, he was shocked at the audacity. I was surprised with myself also.
He had to think quickly.
Then quickly realizing he’s gonna get me back for it, I screamed my lungs out. Mom came over to see what’s up and I cried to her: “He hit me!”.
Of course he denied it. But because he has always hit me before, Mom didn’t believe him and he got punished, haha.
For that point onwards, I gave as good as I get, until he gave up on physically bullying me. He still tried to be the “alpha” but I was already done with that nonsense.”
Let’s see what folks had to say about this on Reddit.
