Home More advice Parents & Family
My older brother is always annoying me. I mean always, he's in a really bad mood and yelling at me half the time. He also snappes me to do things. Just a couple of minutes ago at dinner, I was getting napkins for everybody and he was snapping at me. I didn't give him one because because I don't think that I should have to get something for somebody who snappes at me. But the thing is, is that my parents don't think that this is a big deal. But to me it is because he is constintly being rude and stuff to me. My mom and dad say that I should just ignore him but I've tried that before and it doesn't seem to work. I also end up getting in trouble for these things that he does. Do you think that I am right or do you think my parents are right? PS I know that this is long but I'm reallt frustrated and need advice. Thank you.
I know how you feel, I really do. My big brother always used to hit me and shout at me, he was constantly rude to me and I couldnt even be in the same room as him. he used to make me cry all the time and it go tto the point where I was being bullied in my own home. Although this may seem horrible now, you need to look at what annoys your brother abotu you too. There must be something that makes him the way he is so use it and try to talk to him. Its not your fault, at all, but sometiem syou have to compromise in order to live with people. I have two big brothers, both have done this to me. But a few months ago the oldest of the two died suddenly. So all I can say to you is value him, and love him because he might not always be there. A big brother can be amazing and it is worth doing what you can to get a good realtionship with him, im not saying be his slave, but be willing to compramise. You will need him in the long run. There are a billion things I wish I'd said to my brother.. you have the oppertunity.. take it, please. im here if you need me.
Nobody has the right to treat you that way. Your brother is being disrespectful and you shouldn't have to take that.
Your parents really need to open their eyes and put a stop to this, because if this is how he acts now, how will he treat his wife? He is already displaying signs of a controlling personality, and that can become a serious issue for him later in life.
Thank You ichibanarky!
