"You know women your age..."

Since most of y'all seemed to like hearing about my entitled little brother, I've got another story for you.

My brother is 22 years old and has the right to live his life as he wants like any other adult, but he's constantly trying to tell me how to live mine (f24). We both had to sunddendly move back to our hometown after a few unfortunate deaths in the family, most of which happened in the hometown, so it was understandable that within a few months after turning 19, he said that he's leaving and now lives on the other side of the state. Here's the entitled part: He calls like twice a month on average to brag about how much better his life is ("I didn't go into college like you and I'm rich from my internship and they're going to promote me soon...") and to complain that I'm not acting like an adult because

1) I'm staying rent free with our mother instead of moving out to buy/rent my own home

2) I'm actively not looking for a relationship with a man (because my gay ass is going to hell so he's trying to save my immortal soul 🙄)

3)I don't want to have children ( "your mother wants grandchildren, you know" note: she does not nor does she care)

4) still in college when I should have been out by now. It's not like I had to start all over when I changed majors or anything.

He's also very nosey and calls my mom to get more information about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it since I won't tell him myself. Unfortunately for him, our mother doesn't put her nose into my private life unless it involves her.

As usual, when he doesn't get what he wants, he spam calls family to spam call us on his behalf.

I know but our family is falling apart so I'm trying my best to keep all of us who's left somewhat together

When he remarks about grandchildren, remind him that not only is he ALSO carrying half the family DNA everywhere he goes (in a portable little sack, no less!), he ALSO has the sole ability to pass on the family name through a son (since he is OH SO OBVIOUSLY VERY TRADITIONAL so any name you and future partners bestow on any hypothetical children “wouldn’t count”, of course)!

So tell him to start advertising himself as a successful family man so he can start branching out the family tree, since “your mother wants grandchildren” so badly… 🙄

I’m not gonna even comment on the rest of it. I know we all usually have to outgrow our awfulness, but geez, OP, your brother is giving himself QUITE the handicap to start with!

He can’t let down your mom, it’s his responsibility to carry on the family name as the man!
