'I took my entitled teenage sister to court – she completely destroyed my life'
A brother sick of his ‘golden child’ sister’s scheming ways has taken her to court to press charges in a bid to ‘teach her a valuable life lesson.’ After admitting his sister had always been his mum’s clear favourite, the 19-year-old set the scene by saying that while he was a gamer and a ‘serious saver’ his spoilt sister had always been jealous, trying to ruin anything he had as she knew their mum would always side with her.
When he was 17-years-old he recalled how his 12-year-old sister, known to him secretly as ‘the golden child and centre of the universe’ was committed to ruining everything for him, demanding and crying for extra pocket money from their mum (which she always got): “If I ever asked, I would be told to shut up,” he recalled.
He also told how if he saved up and bought anything, their mum would: “Force me to give her whatever it was she wanted. I would always protest, but mum always threatened me with grounding, and no allowance if I didn't hand over what was rightfully mine.”

After winning a PS5 from a YouTube giveaway he told how his sister had once again run crying to their mum: “Mum started demanding I give her my PlayStation. I said I was sick of my mum’s stupid favouritism and Jamie's blatant golden child treatment. My mum yelled at me that if I didn't give my sister my PS5 I would have dinner with her belt.”

After admitting his dad was: “The only one with common sense and a stable mental state,” he told how he stood up for him, telling his wife if she gave the PS5 to his sister he would consider divorce: “He told her he was sick and tired of her favouritism too.”
In the run-up to his 18th birthday, however, things took a darkly dramatic turn for the worse, when after saving up all of his hard-earned money for the last nine years, earned by mowing lawns and litter picking for the council, he had accrued more than £7,000 so he could buy his first PC, which he did with his dad when his mum and sister were out.
He said: “When they got back, me and dad asked for them to sit down at the table and have an important conversation. My dad said that I had bought something of serious value and that if my sister or mum touched it, stole it, broke it, or anything like that, I would be pressing charges.”
But after returning home after working to save additional money, he couldn’t believe what he saw: “I found my PCs glass plate shattered, and all the expensive parts beaten with what was, most likely, something like a hammer. And for the first time in years, I started crying.”
After his mum asked him what the matter was, he said: “This is the final straw, this has gone too far, I'm taking Jamie to court,” recalling how his dad then came home with two police officers to press charges.
After taking his case to court he was thrilled to win, with his sister and mum forced to pay him £8,000 ($10,000) for a new PC and an additional £2,5k ($3k) in emotional damages, however, years later, the pain clearly still ran deep, as he asked Reddit readers if he had taken things too far.
One said: “You sued a minor?” while another commented: “Good for you that you took it to court.” Another agreed saying: "You did the right thing. It's yours. You earned it. She is a thief,” while another asked: “Did your mum and dad get divorced after this?”
“Your sister is one who will end up in a place she doesn't like because she hasn't figured out how to stop behaving like a 4-yr old,” said one fuming on his behalf. “Let this be a lesson to others out there, and especially parents who favour one kid over another. Both of them should be locked up in a mental institution.”
