Q: I don't know what to do anymore. My little brother thinks im pyscho. Today, my mom asked him to take out the trash and walked away. After she left he refused to do it and stated that I should do it because I never do anything. But, I had helped my mom ALL day with getting ready for this garage sale. So, I told him that he should do it because he was told to. He started screaming and freaking out on me. So after like a half hour of that I punched
him. I just can't take it anymore!!! That's the first time i've ever hit him, and I don't even feel bad about it. He's hit me louds so i guess that's why. I don't want to apologize, but how should I handle my anger from now on???

Beatin siblings is always a blast, but they'll use it against you. I suggest mastering the art of ignoring him! I know it's tough, but trust me, nothing will torture him more than having an older sibling who doesn't give an aat's rass about what he's crying about.

He can't force you to do anything, if he throws a punch at you to make you do one of his duties, pin him down and spit on his face or something that he can't rat you out to your mom without sounding like a retard. If he's just mouthing off, just go to your room, read a book, get on the computer, listen to some music and fall asleep.

When your mom discovers that the trash was neglected, it will be his hide not yours.

Thank you so much, and he did get in trouble more than I did...heehee.

I've been building programs and web sites since I was 12, but don't think I'm an expert! I may be technology advanced but I'm far from G33k!

I'd like to say I have common sense, but that is for you to decide!

I'll do everything I can to help, and I am not afraid to tell anyone when I am not capable of answering your question; so you have no need to worry about me BSing my wisdom.
