I need to know what to do if a brother calls you names, is a BIG tattletale, a hipocrit, and a baby. He drives me insane and I need to know what to do.

The good news is that your brother cannot possibly drive you insane. Insanity is something that is determined by a court, after you have broken some law, and pleaded insanity.\n\nThe bad news is that your brother is probably driving you nuts.

If these calls are about their children, you need to deal with it. That's not going to go away. But if these calls are just to chat ... then you need to explain to him that it really bothers you and why.

You really need to send him to a good psychiatrist. This is something that is really dangerous. If he gets too crazy, he might turn out like one of those kids who kills people at school or their parents.

I would only say something if you really feel the need to stand up for your brother, I would do it with them both standing right there so that way there is no he said she said crap going on between them talking about you. I would only do that under extreme cercumstances though. It matters how close you are over all to your brother, I mean if you can talk to him about anything i would definitally say something to him in private, something like dude is it just me or do you seem unhappy here lately, not really blameing her but if it is because of her he will come out and say so, if he asks you what you think i would go ahead and tell him but in the long and short of it if she makes him eat dog food on the floor every night for dinner and he still loves her, support him in his pick for a future wife. You might not like how she treats him over all but it looks like he does, maybe you havent gotten to know her well enough yet, Or maybe he hasnt, who knows. But i would definitally deal with this in a tender way, maybe your mom or dad can say something to him, or you can go to them and voice your concerns, they could probably get away with saying something to him easier then you could. I dont know ive never really been in that situation but i can see it going bad easily if its not delt with care :) I hope that helps

This is wrong. No one should be hit or abused. I know what your brother has been through. Ask your brother what his opinions is about this. He needs to decide his future and feelings. This is a crime!!

You're the one that matters here, and any other girls in your family he's done this to, or could do this to in the future.  It doesn't matter what the rest of your family thinks.  Report him now.

He wouldn't do anything. I'm the oldest and he's the youngest. He won't mess with me. No matter how bad he wants to take me on, he won't win. The funniest thing I've done to my brother, is drop him on his head when he was born. XD I'm evil! bwa ha ha ha ha ah!\n(Hint: I'm 17, he's only 9)

Hi,there. My mother is the same way! Except I am the only child! Sometimes I wish I had siblings,so she would have someone else to mother,so she would leave me alone!lol! Anyhow,I find that letting it go in one ear and out the other works the best! Otherwise,you may find yourself in a never-ending argument with her. Which I am sure will not be worth the drama! However do throw subtle hints to her. About how responsible you are compared to your brother,etc! Allot of mothers usually do think they are always right! And half the time I have found out that they are. lol. Please remember this,we only ever get one mother. And no matter how old you are,or how responsible you are she still views you as her baby! So,overlooking some of the things she does. Is in my opinion a good way to avoid the argument and continue a healthy relationship with her! Because unfortunately we do not have our parents forever. I am sure she realizes that you are more responsible & mature than your brother is. But in her eyes you both are still her children, no matter how old,or responsible either of you are or are not in your brothers case! I bet your brother still lives at home with her? And she may be in denial about his behaviour? I know another mother,just like this. Regardless, I know mothers can be quite annoying at times. But most likely she just worries about you and loves you! And she believes her advice may help you out. Anyhow,Good-Luck to you! I wish you and your family well!

Why did your Mom tell you this? Is he telling her these things,and if so,why? I would tell him to lay off or you will slap a slander suit on him for telling others, lies about you.

Have you spoken to your brother about it? Tell him just how you feel. Tell him how uncomfortable you are and ask him to speak to his friend.

She is a sicko! My ex husband was like that. He had this terrible obsession with money and he was always hoping that I would get into a car accident so that he could collect the insurance money, he even threatened to poison me. He married me for a second income. \n\nOkay, so this guy beats your brother and you are aware of it. You need to contact 1-800-4achild 1-800-424-4553. It is totally anonymous. Tell them everything that you have reported here. They will then take action. You can also find out the number to the police department in that area. You need to get your little brother out of that situation before something happens to him as well. With the way your mother is and the way your stepfather is, CPS will yank him away. I am not trying to scare you, but you have to do what is best for your little brother right now. It sounds to me like he is in some serious danger.  Maybe there are some relatives that he can be turned over to. You need to get him out of that situation. I know that you want to see him and everything and there may be a way, but you need to help him FIRST.\n\nPlease let me know if you need anything or if you just need someone to talk to.

how about this option, talk to your brother about your intent and let him know..."look, if this guy turns out to be a jerk and hurts my feelings and is cruel to me, I'll let you know ASAP" and make him promise to leave him alone until you give him the word.

Try having a conversation with (and yes i am serious) Mom. Just talk to her and find out why she calls him all the time, don't be rude or ugly, just talk to her and find out more about their relationship and what his childhood was like. Could be that there are some reasons for her overinvolvement and maybe she is just as anxious to help him become less dependent on her too. If nothing else you might be able to get to know her well enough to ask her as politely as you can to relax a little. You might learn that maybe Mom isn't the clinger  and the guy is and the two of you can work on him together, and if she likes you and thinks you respect her enough to come to her with your issue instead of running to him and complaining you will earn her respect and maybe even her blessing. And while that might not matter at all to you I can assure you that it does to him.

You have to let it go alittle Ramon, otherwise it will drive you crazy.  Think of other things.  Like your cute little nephew.  take him out to a fun park or sth so he can have some fun. You could too if you wanted or leave eveything for  a while and go for a holiday.

People, in general, who run around boasting and making bad comments about others are trying to get attention. ANY attention, good or bad. Doesn't matter to them, their goal is to get a reaction, a response, whatever, from the person that they're speaking to- or speaking AT, in his case. Ignore him. \nIf you respond- you're giving him validation for his behavior. If you ignore him, he's left there, with himself. \nOnce he realizes he's "no fun to be stuck with" he might change his attitude. But, if someone else engages in his childish behavior, he'll move on to them- and you won't have to worry about it anymore.\n(www.thedorkymom.com)

Yah your right about the hate thing....he wouldn't have done it otherwise. You need to have a sit down with your brother.\nSounds like there are some unresolved issues there.\nYour brother could be hiding something, if they seem alright now maybe its just a front....\nSo talk to him about it.....see whats up??\nGood Luck to you....

oh i have a brother that acts the exact same way\n\nsometimes it the friends this person hangs with, or it could be the kid just wants attention -- what you can do to get them to listen is just emphasize on all the good things that they've done-spend time doing some things that they want to-just don't cater to their every whim. \n\n...if they do anything drastic, i suggest therapy\n\n...and personally, i don't think it shows bad parenting because sometimes theres just nothing you can do-the kid just wants their way, & doesn't want to compromise
