Being close to your siblings is a real blessing, because if you’re lucky, they’ll always have your back, even when it comes to defending you in front of your parents.

Imagine listening to your parents criticize your sister just because she doesn’t want to attend a party. Would you stay silent, or would you speak up, putting your parents in their place?

In today’s story, one brother has his sister’s back, but he’s wondering if he was too outspoken.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for calling out my family and defending my little sister?

I, a 31 M, called out my family for fighting over some crazy idea of being the perfect family.

For the past few months there have been some issues with my little sister ,26 F.

Ever since she moved to her new house there have been indirect comments made to her about her weight, decisions and lack of “attention” toward her son and now she refuses to join in on family events and parties.

His parents sound really critical.

Today they decided to prepare dinner for one of my cousins birthday.

They had asked her to come and she politely declined the invitation.

After she had declined they decided to comment on how ungrateful she is and how arrogant she has become now that she has a brand new house and money.

He stood up for his sister.

I was so upset that I told them that I am sick and tired of listening them talk about her behind her back. I also told them that they are the ungrateful ones since all she has done is be there for us when we were in need and now that she is setting boundaries they are mad.

They now are no longer talking to me and evade me every time I’m around. Now AITA?

What horrible parents to bad mouth their daughter for doing well and being happy. If I were her, I’d stay away too.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

What do his parents say about him?

He did the right thing.

It’s easy to see why she stays away.

This was exactly the right time to confront his parents.

Here’s the perspective of an only child.

He sounds like a great big brother!
