Today, my family and I (14/m) were out playing sports. All was well for a while. Untill my lil brother started to misbehave and be uncooperative.I got vexxed, but i controlled my rage untill we got home.
At home, i was still vexxed.
(since my birthday is about a montn away)My mom asked me what i wanted for my birthday. I told her "i want my brother to be gone for my birthday. that would be the perfect gift."
She got vexx at me. so vexx she couldn't speak. Sheleft the room.
I went to look for her later and i found her crying. what i said really got to her emotionally. she just looked at me like everything was lost.
that look got to me. i am sorry i told her that.
but i dont know what to do.
What should i do?
i can't let her feel like she grew me up wrong- i am her 1st born. she will just give up with the others too.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families? sdog1205 answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 8:17 pm: You just need to apologize to her. Explain that you were angry and that you were just speaking with your anger. Apologize to her and show her that you're sorry. When you get angry with your brother try to calm yourself down and not let it build up to where you say things that you regret after. Try writing when you're angry or finding someway to let your anger out without yelling at your lil brother or without saying things like that to your mom. I'm sure that if you apologize your mom will understand and forgive you.
Miss_Lily answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 1:52 pm: The only thing you can do is apologize and wait for her to forgive you. Yes, what you said was wrong, but you are only human. Everyone's younger siblings make them cross. Have you ever tried to form a relationship with your younger brother and see where he is coming from? Let your mother know that you will try and form a better relationship with your brother and that she will never hear you say something so mean and spiteful again.

karenR answered Monday April 25 2005, 2:05 am: You just need to apologize for saying that. She was just a little emotional for one reason or another and it struck her the wrong way. She will get over it, and she knows you weren't serious. Mom's get that way now and then, we usually just don't get caught! It will be fine.
I think it's wonderful that your whole family goes out and has fun together by the way. You're very lucky. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
mapetiteodette answered Sunday April 24 2005, 4:06 pm: I would go and profusely apologize to your mom, and just explain to her what happened that made you so mad at your brother. She will understand that brothers bicker sometimes, and you will get mad at him sometimes.
I doubt that she would feel like she raised you wrongly- it's common for brothers to fight, and she probably feels overwhelmed with raising the two of you. Remember- She will always love you and your brother no matter what, and she won't ever give up on the others.
Hope I helped :-) [ mapetiteodette's advice column | Ask mapetiteodette A Question ]

o0xbrianna answered Sunday April 24 2005, 11:40 am: Tell her you really didn't mean that, that you were just mad at him, or vexxed (whatever that means?) lol. Also, be sure to tell her that you are sorry and it never meant to hurt her feelings and that you feel bad. That will work. GOod luck.
mgh12 answered Sunday April 24 2005, 11:10 am: That sounds kinda like me when i get mad at my little brother! You have to apologize, tell her that you are EXTREMLY sorry, and that you didn't mean it, you were just caught up in the moment. Maybe you can spend some time with your little brother like playing games with him (catch, basketball, etc..) Maybe after that, she can tell that you were just annoyed with your brother (we all get like that sometimes!!) Just make sure that she knows that you love your little brother, and that she DID grow you up to be a good person.
craazylau answered Sunday April 24 2005, 10:55 am: You realise you were wrong in saying what you did so you're going to have to apologise to her. Say that you said it all in the heat of the moment and that you really didn't mean it and that you love your little brother and can't believe you said that. Say that you hate seeing her so upset and that you're really sorry. She'll understand we all say things in the heat of the moment that we don't mean. Good luck [ craazylau's advice column | Ask craazylau A Question ]
LlYySsAa answered Sunday April 24 2005, 10:05 am: Personally, what you did in the first place was really STUPID! I know how you feel about the little brother thing, I have a 4 year old little bro and he can be soooooo freakin annoying! But what you need to do is show you mom that you are SINCERELY sorry. Maybe you could play with you little bro or take him out to ride bikes or play football, just something that will make your mom smile and see that you really didn't mean it. Hope this helps!!
ShYbl0nD3 answered Sunday April 24 2005, 3:51 am: We all say things that we might mean at the moment but then regret. Sometimes you dont even mean for it to come out either. What i sugest you do is talk to your mom tell her your sorry and that you were just annoyed by your little bro. Just dont make it something dramatic lol. Um.. maybe if shes in the mood tell her what you ment to say and give her an idea of what you would like for your birthday. Or you could just ignore that and mention it later. But tell her how you feel about what you said so she understands.
good luck!
h.i.h and
happy early bday!

hitler_the_goat answered Sunday April 24 2005, 1:42 am: siblings are all fucking assholes, women are all loaded with emotional baggage. these are facts of life, stick to your guns on this and remain totally callous. that is the role of a man- stand behind your word, especially if you are wrong. don't explain, assume she knows the facts, and buy her a nice card on mothers day for making this one so shitty for her.

FunnyCide answered Saturday April 23 2005, 11:29 pm: I understand what you are feeling as an older sibling who has a smaller sibling misbehaving and being wild. I was hangin` out with a friend the other day, and his brother and my sisters were supposed to be playing a board game. Instead of doing this, my sister's were chasing my friend's little brother around, jumping on his back, screaming, yelling, and running around; the worst part is - we were in a church! My sisters would not listen to me, and they hurt my friends brother physically. He went home bruised. I was so embarassed, sad, and furious.
What you said was hurtful, but you were mad. Sometimes though, you have to say, "Mom, let me think about that, and I'll tell you in a few moments." Since your mouth got in trouble, use your mouth to fix it, too. Tell your mom that you were very upset with your little brother for acting the way he did, that he embarrased you, and that you were upset with him. Tell her you're sorry that you said that, and you didn't mean it. But, ask her to keep the younger brother in check. To let a small child (or a pre-teen even) run wild and do as he pleases will teach him that he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants.
Think about how your mom feels. Think about how you'd feel if she said that she didn't want you around for her birthday. You'd probably be really upset. Apologies are great for this, and ask for forgiveness. Talk to your little brother, too. Ask him - kindly! - to behave better. Tell him that you love him very much, but you want him to be on his best behavior because he is going to embarass himself and his whole family. Maybe you could talk to your dad about your little brother's behavior; sometimes dads can talk some sense into little kids.
Your mom will feel so much better if you apologize to her, and tell her that you didn't mean it. Give her a small gift (maybe breakfast in bed? Or a card! Cards are good!) to let her knwo you care. Be extra-nice and patient to all your siblings, but especially the one who misbehaved.
