Family dynamics can be quite complicated, especially when there’s a big age gap between relatives. Our protagonist, a 15-year-old, finds themselves in a peculiar situation with their 8-year-old half-uncle, Brian. The teen used to call Brian ‘Uncle’ as a joke, but now that they’re older and Brian’s behavior has become unbearable, they refuse to do so. As the family drama unfolds, the teen is left questioning if they’re in the wrong for standing their ground.

The Great Uncle Debate: To Call or Not to Call?

Our protagonist, a 15-year-old, is caught in a whirlwind of family drama as they refuse to call their 8-year-old half-uncle, Brian, by the title ‘Uncle.’ The teen initially called him ‘Uncle Brian’ as a joke, but as Brian’s behavior worsened, they decided to put their foot down. Despite pressure from their family, the teen remains steadfast in their decision, believing that calling him ‘Uncle’ would be demeaning, especially at school. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sticky situation…
