This 30-year-old woman currently has a 5-year-old daughter who is young, happy, and perfectly healthy, according to her.

“My daughter’s a normal kid who loves playing and eating snacks every now and then,” she said.

Yet, her brother – who is 28 – has recently started coming over to her house and commenting on her daughter’s weight, which she’s worried will affect her self-esteem.

It all began when her brother began visiting more often, and he took up a habit of calling her daughter “chubby” and “fat.” He supposedly intended the remarks to be some kind of joke, as cruel as that is.

“I thought he was just messing around at first,” she recalled, “But it’s gotten really out of hand.”

For instance, every single time her brother sees her daughter, he will say things like, “Whoa, easy there, big girl!” Once, he even told her, “You can’t have another cookie; you’ll end up rolling out of here!”

It makes her absolutely livid to hear her brother talk to her daughter like that, and she’s tried telling him to stop on multiple occasions. Yet, he always just laughs off her concerns and claims that he’s just “harmlessly teasing” her daughter.

“But my daughter doesn’t understand that it’s supposed to be a joke, and I can see it hurting her feelings,” she explained.

So, after one more incident, she finally hit her breaking point and freaked out on her brother. While her daughter was just playing the other day, he actually screamed across the room, “Looks like someone needs a diet!”

This made her snap, and she immediately kicked him out of her house. She also told her brother not to come back until he learns to have some respect.

Since then, her family has heard about what happened and they’re all split on the situation. Her parents have actually taken her brother’s side, saying it was just “sibling banter” and that she overreacted.

On the other hand, some of her friends have sided with her and believe she did the right thing by sticking up for her daughter.

“But my brother is furious and is claiming I’ve ruined our relationship over a ‘silly joke,'” she vented.

Now, this has left her wondering if kicking her brother out for refusing to stop commenting on her daughter’s weight was really so unreasonable.

How would you feel if someone spoke to your child like that? Was her brother out of line? Did she handle this situation the right way?
