Today, I had to take my little brother to the pool. He acted like a brat the whole time, and when I told him we were leaving, he ran away, slipped, and hit his face on the tile floor. He told my dad and step-mom I punched him. They believed him, and I'm grounded for two months. FML

Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML
Today, I got grounded for 2 weeks for slapping my brother after he threw a baseball at my head and hit my shin with a bat. He’s in 9th grade and I'm in 8th. He got ice cream to "cheer him up". FML
Today, I got punched in the face after I beat my stepbrother at Mario Kart. I didn't really get hurt, but he managed to break a finger. My stepmom blamed the whole thing on me, accusing me of being violent and a bad influence on her son. FML

Today, I was asked to take care of my 3 year-old little brother. After 15 minutes of him screaming and me trying to keep him entertained, he started throwing his toy cars at me. He hit me in the mouth, and I started to bleed. My parents yelled at me for "not controlling him." FML
Today, my 5-year-old cousin came over. We were on the trampoline in my backyard when he fell off and started crying and screaming. While I was trying to comfort him, my mom came out yelling at me for "pushing him off the trampoline" and grounded me for a month. FML
Today, I was at the pool with two boys I babysit. The eldest wouldn't get out of the pool so I pretended to call his dad. He then ran out of the pool, pushed me down, grabbed my phone, chucked it into the pool and then ran back into the pool. FML

So much for doing something nice.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that, OP. It's not your responsibility to parent him. And it sounds like your parents aren't very dedicated to the task either.

If that were me? It would take all the strength in my being-- to not punch my little brother and make his lie, true. However, I do find it odd that your parents would take your "bratty" brother's word over yours and give such a steep punishment. Are you known to hit and lie?

I was never known to hit and lie and this kind of thing happened to me a lot. It was usually because the younger ones, I my parents eyes, were all "sweet and innocent", hence why they got away with everything and I got the blame for hurting them when they hurt themselves. It's not all that uncommon.

Awe. . . You know, I can kinda see that happening. I'm the youngest of three and I would always fake cry to purposely get my sisters in trouble. HOWEVER, they really weren't nice to me. Maybe I deserved their bad treatment. I was really a brat when I was younger. :P

The joy of being an older siblung. I remember myself being blamed for everything even though I wasn't there when it happened.

Next time, actually punch him.

But he would get in more trouble resulting in a bigger punishment

Next time he's acting like a brat really punch him! You will get grounded for that either way, apparently.

I went swimming in a river in nov. Once, it was cold and when I got out I didn't have a towl and rode in a back of a vehicle with wind. Call me "crazy" but it was fun:)

klorehore 24
it doesn't have to be like that! I have a younger brother and when we were kids I was the one giving him the blame for everything. Both of you can play this game!

if that's the case, then punch the little ******! at least get in trouble in a legit way. also, the brat will learn a lesson about slander and lying.

The horror of younger siblings, parents will always believe them over the older one, and if something went wrong, guess who has to be the responsible/matur one?

If your gonna get blamed for something you didn't do you might as well do it, go snot the little brat or better yet break some of your parents stuff and leave evidence that it was your brother so then he gets in trouble for it and you get some well deserved revenge on both your parents and your bratty brother.
