No matter how patient and understanding someone is, everyone has a point where they finally snap. This is true even for incrediblylovingand supportive family members. There are moments when they feel it’s necessary to pull their grandkids aside to teach them a lesson in humility.

The reality is that some teenagers want to be in the spotlight at all times, so they make every situation about them

The teenager seemed like she didn’t have a sense of other people’s boundaries yet

According to the anonymous internet poster, their granddaughter has an issue with hogging the spotlight. She seems to want everyone’sattentionto be on her, not others.

The OP shared that this has led the teenager to cause drama during social events. One negative effect of this is that the granddaughter has very few friends. Another issue is that it’s fracturing the family.

So, the author took it upon themselves to correct the young woman’s behavior after a particularly embarrassing outburst during a family get-together, which was meant to celebrate her younger brother’s achievements.

However, the OP was slightly worried that they might have gone overboard with the chastisement. Most members of the AITA online community thought that the OP did nothing wrong.

Some redditors pointed out that it was a valuable life lesson for the granddaughter. Others were concerned that the teen’s parents might have dropped the ball when raising her.

Unfortunately, the OP’s account was suspended for unknown reasons and we were unable to reach out to them.

Family members have a responsibility to teach their kids the importance of humility and kindness

As we’ve covered onBored Pandaearlier, it becomes a real problem when somebody’s sense ofentitlementstarts to have an impact on other people.

If kids are constantly made to feel special and as though they’re better than everyone else, they might have a hard time being team players and adapting to the ‘real world.’ Like when they go to university or apply for their first job.

According tocounselor Hayley Vaughan Smith from TAFF, children look to their parents for guidance.
