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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. 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
Today, I was at the mall with my little brother. I saw him touching some expensive objects, so I slapped his arm. I noticed he wasn't my brother when he started crying and his real mom slapped me in the face. FML
Today, I went to pick up my little brother from his friend's house. When I got there, he ran off screaming that he didn't know me. His friend's parents believed him. FML
Today, I rescued a little boy who looked like he was drowning in a public pool. His mother then smacked me in the face for "touching him". 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.

No one at the pool saw him fall? Call him out. Once he's caught as a lier then the folks should start believing you. (Younger sisters tried doing similar stuff to me, too bad they forgot about witnesses.)

Bet money that the step-mom is the little brothers mom.

Op, I'm betting your brother's a pretty stupid kid: He just guaranteed that 1, you'll never take him somewhere fun again, even if you'll be trusted to now by your deceived parents, and 2, if you're going to get in trouble for something you were falsely blamed for, what's stopping you from doing it anyways? The worse act he blames you for that your parents will buy into regardless, the worse act you could do to him in retaliation because the punishment would be the same either way. It's like he gets to pick how you'll get back at him. ;) Not very intelligent now, is it? ;)

57- I see where you're coming from but I feel as if OP punched him "again", there would be more trouble :P

Just punch him saying that you couldn't bear to see him lying or something along those lines. Kidding! Whilst punching him might teach him a lesson, it could well land you in bigger trouble in the long run. If it was a public pool tell your parents to go and ask the staff how he was behaving, because chances are at least one of them will have noticing him acting like a little shit. If they still won't believe you, just refuse to ever babysit again state that it's because they clearly don't trust you enough if they won't even listen to your side of events.

I think we know where the brattiness comes from, now. Looks like you'll need plenty of witnesses whenever he's around.

I would've punched him for that little stunt and made the punishment worth it

Ef that. Grounded or not make that kids life hell until he tells the truth. Embarrass the shit out of him around his friends do things that you can't get blamed for and Frame his bratty ass.

You see actually you aren't grounded for two months, and if your parents try to say you are then you say "**** off" and leave.

No.

Doesn't quite work that way if you're under 18, which I'm guessing applies to OP since she "had" to take the little pissworm in the first place.

Well, punch him now. Double Jeopardy. You can't be tried for the same crime twice, so you might as well make the punishment fit the crime.

Sounds like your brother is the same type as mine was. You just need a way to get your parents to catch him in the act of lying so he loses all future credibility.
