She Upset Her Sister After Pointing Out That Her Son’s Crude, Uncorrected Behavior Is The Reason He’s Getting Bullied At School, And It’s Entirely Her Fault
Have you ever struggled to tell a loved one that there is something wrong with their kid’s behavior?
It can be really uncomfortable to address, but sometimes, it gets to the point where you have to step in and point out when someone’s kid is behaving poorly.
One woman recently upset her sister after telling her that her son’s crude, uncorrected behavior was the reason why he was getting picked on at school.
She’s 26-years-old and married. Her older sister is 33-years-old, married, and has two sons, a 13-year-old named Bracken and an 11-year-old named Neville.
Last weekend, as her two nephews entered a new school year, she and her husband tagged along with her sister’s family to a basket raffle fundraiser for their local library.
There are all sorts of baskets with all kinds of prizes every year at these fundraisers, and you can submit tickets to win them. Bracken is a popular athlete at school, so he entered many sports-related baskets.
At one point, the family came across some science-themed baskets, which she knew would be right up Neville’s alley since he loves science and robotics.
“They had a few baskets that were aimed at girls in science [and] STEM,” she recalled.
“When Neville saw the baskets, he called them stupid and started making some pretty awful comments about how girls are ‘too dumb’ for science, and that’s why they needed special baskets.”

Neville made more harsh comments about how science clubs are only for boys, and some people at the fundraiser started turning their heads to watch him go on this angry rant. Eventually, Bracken had to tell his brother to be quiet, and she and her husband stood there in shock.
On the drive home from the fundraiser, she and her husband couldn’t believe what Neville said and wondered where he had learned that kind of talk.
A few days later, she received a call from her sister, who was in distress.
“She was telling me about how horrible Neville’s first month of middle school was,” she recalled.
“She was telling me he was being targeted and bullied.”
Her sister was hysterical as she tried to get more details on what was happening, so she had Bracken get on the phone and tell her what he knew. Bracken told her that a lot of kids from school had seen or heard about Neville’s rant at the fundraiser and were teasing him for it.
Additionally, when Bracken told his friends about his brother’s embarrassing incident, word spread even faster. Kids at school were calling Neville creepy and weird.
After learning more about Neville’s situation, her sister calmed down and got back on the phone, asking what she should do.
“I told her that this was on her and [it was] her fault for not correcting Neville’s behavior,” she added.
Her sister ignored her statements, even when she suggested discipline options for Neville. Instead, her sister was more focused on punishing Bracken for telling his friends about what Neville said.
Realizing her sister wouldn’t budge or take accountability, she called her ridiculous and hung up. Since then, her sister won’t stop angrily texting her.
Should she feel bad for telling her sister Neville’s school issues were on her?
