my cousin had the same problem! his mom dipped his thumbs in a sour tasting non toxic fluid that stayed on for hours, i don't know what it's called, but i think it's product in the market. and he stopped trying in less than a week

Tell him to stop. And if he doesn't stop, tell someone important with authority: like your parent, or a teacher, or anybody who can slap him around. Unless he's like 3 years old and just doesn't know the difference. Then just tell him "NO"

i think someone shld wash ur mouth out and see how you like it.\nPerhaps you need to sit with ur son and explain why he shouldnt say what he did, he could have just picked it up at school and was told by his friends its cool and not fully understand that he shouldnt do it.  Then find a more appropriate way, tell him he cant have something he likes if he says things like that again. example: my 7 yr old niece was the same so her parents wont let her have party pack on fridays at school if she does it again - needless to say she has stopped.\n\nthere is no point punishing a kid who doesnt understand why he is being punished cuz it certainly wont stop him from doing it again

I am the oldest of two children.  So I AM THE ANNOYING OLDER BROTHER!  growing up I did torment my little brother Daniel a lot.  But all he had to do was ask me to stop, and I did.  A brother has to be good. he has to show compassion and understanding.  An older brother also has to be a role model too.

hurt him back in football, or outside of football, egg his house/car, steal his girlfriend, hook up with his sister, or any other thing that you think will get justice.  otherwise you could wait it out and do the old "what comes around, goes around" gameplan.  if anything, let your bro take care of himself too, unless he wants the help.  g'luck.\n\n7

Tell your brother OH HELL NO! Tell him his friend has stomach churning, climate changing breath and that whenever he gets around you his armpits always smell like fresh cut onions. Now, surely your older brother, with all the love that he has for you, will not subject you to this torture any longer. Tell him that he's not treating you righteously either. Any big brother will/should understand. And if he says that his breath is never tart around him, or that his armpits are always mountain breeze fresh...tell him that's what HE thinks. Tell him his friend does that purposely everytime he comes around YOU only, not your brother, cuz he really doesn't like you either. Let your brother know how you feel. If worst comes to worst, you could always tell your brother that his homeboy is talking about him behind his back, he'll never know the truth, because its BEHIND HIS BACK!! (no, just kidding about that last one!) LOL!

It just routes from his insecurity.  Unfortunately it's his problem and there isn't much that you can do.  You shouldn't have to conform to someone's idea of how to keep you under his thumb.  If the reigns get to tight I would run for it.  If you really want to make it work you should send that boy to a therapist.

Its to bad your 12 cause you could get him some cigars or a pipe.  Maybe you can have your mom get him that.

tell me and we'll both know.  i'm 31 and my younger bro is 28 and we still don't see eye to eye on most things.  different personalities unfortunately.  if your bro is nasty and swearing than it sounds like you just need to walk away from him until he can speak to you nicely.  be strong when he bugs you for money, he's just using you as he knows you're an easy target.

The more you show him that this word upsets you, the more he'll say it. He knows it pushes your buttons. Hey, he's a little brother. That's the way they are. It's their job to snitch on you, copy everything you say & do, and find words that annoy you. Unfortunately, if he's not listening to your good counsel about keeping his yap shut, someone will do it for him, relieving you of all responsibility. So, if you've told him, and you've told your parents, your job's done. Let the chips fall where they will. And don't allow him to see that it bothers you. This works well on all the other stuff that he's been annoying you with too. How do I know this? I'm a little sister, though grown up now. <*)))><

get a better bit! it seems like he's just running through it, if you get a better one, he should stop that.  and when you pull back do it with every other hand instead of both, that should help some too./ good luck!
