'She kept glaring at me while I was cooking': 16-year-old refuses to make breakfast for her 11-year-old sister who constantly disrespects her, mom who refuses to discipline the bratty daughter punishes the teenage daughter

As a parent, it can be tricky to distinguish routine sibling squabbling from unseemly behavior that requires adult intervention. My sister and I would fight like cats and dogs when we were kids, but our conflicts rarely escalated to the point where our parents needed to punish one or both of us. "Stop going into my closet and borrowing my clothes without asking" is a pretty low-stakes debate that kids should learn to work through on their own.

There's a difference between conflicts that don't have a clear answer and one sibling constantly putting the other sibling down. It's the parent's job to help maintain standards for behavior in their house. If one kid can say whatever they want about the other kid without any consequences, it will have highly detrimental consequences for both of them in the future. Nothing good comes out of being the tormentor or the tormented.

The 16-year-old in this story had enough of being the tormented kid. After her demanding and cruel 11-year-old sister asked her to make her breakfast, she refused. This action enraged their mother, who constantly brushed the younger sister's lousy behavior under the rug and made her teenage daughter deal with it herself.
