k well my brother (he's 10) hasn't been home much for the summer cause he's been traveling with my dad and stuff.. but now he's back home and i can't even stand to be in the same room with him!! he drives me insane, like we fight constantly. and the worst part is that my mom always takes his side because he's younger than i am. and he says stuff that really ticks me off! like he says that i don't do anything around the house or take the dog out and crap like that and i've the one who has been home for the whole summer! i try to explain to him but he just doesn't get it in his puny fricken brain!! ugh is there anything i can do to chillll out?!

I personally think that hes just striving for attention..and he keeps on doing it because of your mom giving him the attention and saying that its all your fault and hes the best.
I would..next time..just completely give him the silent treatment...get him really angry..maybe he'll get your mom in the room and when she finds out that your just sitting there then she'll be forced to yell at him for causing the problem. It always works for me and gets my little sister angry as heck...a little revenge never hurts right?:-)

The more you show him it bothers you the more he will do it. Yeah.. all you have to do is try to ignore him and he will stop. He is wrong so there is really no point to argue with him. He will keep thinking he is right but thats just him. Dont listen to him when he says you dont do anything.. lol he is trying to make it seem your fault and get you pissed off. Just dont be around him too much or at least try not to. Talk to your mom one on one. Yeah, she will take his side at times and to you it might seem like ALL the time but she still loves you both and I`m sure she really dont want to choose sides. But since he is younger he needs more attention. Tell her exacly how you are feeling and that he really bothers you and that she needs to set some limits for him! Good luck hun =) [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
