She Told Her Spoiled Brother That The Reason Why He Couldn’t Hold Down A Girlfriend Was Because He’s A Pathetic “Walking Red Flag” And No Woman Would Disrespect Themselves Enough To Be With A Loser Like Him
Do you know someone who grew up to be an adult with a lot of attitude or sense of entitlement because they were spoiled as a child?
One woman recently fought with her brother because she called him pathetic and told him he was a ‘walking red flag’ after he complained about not being able to keep girlfriends.
She’s 32 and has a 27-year-old brother named Carl. Their parents and relatives heavily spoiled Carl after he became very sick when he was eight. He spent months in the hospital, and doctors didn’t think he would live past nine. Therefore, all the adults in their lives paid close attention to him and gave him everything he wanted.
However, Carl survived his illness and went on to grow up healthily. But because of all the attention and special treatment he received as a kid, he grew up very entitled.
“It took a couple of years for everyone to stop spoiling him,” she said.
“My father admitted it was just habit, but once he realized the negative impact it had on me and Carl’s [entitlement], things changed immediately. My mother is, to this day, the only holdout. Obviously, Carl hated that he was being told no for anything. Everyone expected him to adjust over time, but he never did. He even told a therapist that he’d never cooperate because he was right and everyone else was wrong.”
Although Carl is very smart, he’s lazy and arrogant. He never gained a work ethic and refused to go to college after having to repeat his senior year of high school. He didn’t get a job until he was 24 because he believed jobs were beneath him.
Carl has lived with their dad for years and takes advantage of him, as he doesn’t cook, clean, or pay rent.
“Carl still lives with my dad, and when I visit, we occasionally talk,” she explained.

“Last time I visited, Carl complained that every girl he’s taken out has ghosted him. I asked for information on the dates, like where they went, what they talked about, etc., and he mentioned they get weird as soon as he says his life plan is to inherit my dad’s house and have his wife be a stay-at-home-wife while he works.”
She tried to explain to Carl that his dream future seemed unlikely to happen, especially because he was 27 and working a minimum-wage job.
Additionally, her dad has made it clear to her and Carl that when he passes, he’ll give his house to her because she’s much more successful financially.
Carl began complaining and accused her of ruining his “life plan” because he was the one who was supposed to get “everything.”
“I snapped [and] told him the reason he’s getting ghosted is because he’s pathetic, [he’s] a walking red flag, and no woman disrespects themselves enough to be with a loser like him,” she recalled.
She and Carl then got into a screaming match, and while her dad thinks what she said was true, both of her parents are encouraging her to apologize.
Should she apologize to Carl, or did she give him a much-needed reality check?
