I don't believe OP took him to the pool as a treat the way it's worded.

Well played little brother, well played

Yeah I'd have to say that's a sucker-punch. You may have lost that round with your brother, but at least it wasn't a TKO. I mean 2 months is a long time. But don't throw in the towel just yet.

*clears throat* ahem, after reading your profile, there is only one thing left to ask. At what time doth the narwhal bacon?

Midnight ^.^

Well, 1.... OP can easily just punch him in the face anyhow. Double jeopardy. Ohhhh yeah. :3

Why the **** would you post that? You sir, are a terrible human being. Yeah, sure, you have the freedom of speech-and so do i-but what you say has some consequences to it too you know. So next time, watch what you say, and watch what you post too, cause it can be hurtful to other people

Who are you angry at here 74?

I agree! Brats are brats.

That's not well played, he's just a little shit and the parents are too stupid to realise they are indulging their son's bratty behaviour.

I have seen far worse things than any of these posts 74, with people getting into heated debates. It's the ******* Internet. If you don't like it, hit the back button and move on with your life, you aren't going to change the way someone acts on the Internet with a parental scolding. And there are things called jokes. This is not really an, "I'm looking for advice" kinda site, but a "my life sucks so much and this is why" site. Nobody would be here if it didn't make us laugh, because otherwise it would be a site about ******* complaining about their first world problems. Yeah, I have life issues I have a tough time dealing with, but these strangers don't give a shit, they have their own problems to deal with, and that is the way the world works.

Same here... Sorry OP

I drive my other siblings to school most days of the week on my way to Uni, and order us coffee every morning at Starbucks, but they're always bitchy to me aswell as throwing tantrums in public if I don't let them have their own way - they're 14 and 9. I totally understand your situation too- I'm in it too. FYL.

Wow, I'm glad I don't have the same problems. Some siblings just sound waaaay too spoiled. F all your lives.

I'm the youngest and my one older brother used to throw tantrums all the time.

38, you buy your 9 year sibling Starbucks?

Happens to me all the time.

I shall refer to my name for this. Haha.

Yea that really pisses me off when parents leave shit up to you...especially when it has to do with parenting (kinda their job)

Part of being a family means you take care of each other. It's not crazy for a parent to ask their child to spend time with and take out their sibling. Still, sorry about your luck OP! Siblings can really be a pain!

#49, It's not crazy for parents to ask older siblings to take care of each other, right. But it's also not crazy for parents to expect younger siblings to heed the older sibling who has been tasked with their care, for younger siblings to take care of their older brothers and sisters by not lying to get them in trouble, and for parents to not automatically assume one child is right.

This is part of the reason why when 3ish years ago my mom and step-dad told me they were having a baby I right from the start made it clear that their kid=their responsibility. I would help out with him only out of my own goodness or for pre-agreed compensation. I also made it clear that if they ever tried to force care onto me they would be responsible for whatever trouble he got himself into, because I wouldn't stop him from doing whatever he wanted, consequences be damned, and they'd go to jail for it because it was their legal responsibility to make sure he was safe, not mine. It seems that I made a convincing enough case and have a long enough history of stubbornly sticking to my guns that they never decided to risk calling my bluff.

You sound like a terrible person.

Nope, just didn't want to get stuck raising someone else's kid. I've got no problem helping of my own accord, but I've seen far too many older siblings have to put aside their childhoods because mommy and daddy didn't want to pony up and take responsibility for their choice and thought an older child=24/7 free babysitter.

Seriously.. This kids like a little Stewie

And she was also wrongly accused, too. When you are framed by adults or your parents, then you develop anger issues and you get more detached from you parents until you want to live with your friends than with your parents. It also develops trust issues with both the parent and the person who was wrongly accused.

Yep! While singing: Drowning Pools- "Let the bodies hit the floor"! :P

Enslaved, great minds think alike ;D

So,like ice cream? o.O

More like OP's brother's favourite meal frozen and no one wanting to warm it up/cook the food for him.

Depending on the parents, there can actually be ways to address it. Let's say a kid approached a parent at a time of relative calm (not in the middle of a he-said-she-said crisis, at any rate) and said, politely and maturely, something like "Can we talk for a minute? I feel like sometimes you automatically take (sibling)'s word for what happened and don't hear my side of it, and I wind up getting in trouble for something I didn't do or that we both did. That kind of hurts. Would you please at least listen to me when that happens?" Most parents would at least keep that in mind the next time there was trouble. Of course, that older sib had better not lie when telling their side, or they'll lose any credibility and come off worse than before.

Omg. There are real parents out there that do that?!!? *Mindblown!*

58- I see where you are coming from :) 90- Just shutup, that was completely unnecessary...

I agree, if you're getting punished anyways might as well finish it
