So my brother is 14 and I’m 24. His mom rarely disciplined him as a kid and he likes to be the center of attention. I set rules in my room regarding my console and tv and my half of the room. Ask to get on my console (he brought his own), don’t be on or under my bed, and keep your half clean. For the month he’s been here (is staying with our father for the summer/school year) he’s purposefully pissed me off because it’s fun for him, gone through my stuff while looking for the tv remote (I banned him for a day cause he broke my rule), plays too damn much (literally doesn’t know the meaning of stop), and gets mad when you tell him why people don’t enjoy interacting with him. My brother didn’t have friends his age so I understand he’s lonely. I want to do stuff with him but he drives nothing but attitude. For example I came home and was on the phone. He kept trying to talk to me so I said once I finish this phone call. He kept bothering me, saying my friends are jerks and I snapped. I told him he didn’t know when to stop and that no one likes him because he goes to far and should stop when people say stop (he met the friend I was talking too once and slapped him with his wallet after he was told to stop play fighting). My brother continued to talk over me saying that my friends are jerks that can’t take jokes and that he’s perfectly fine. I was in a really bad mood already so I asked my brother to please leave me alone. I’m still on the phone but he comes over to squeeze my water that I was going to down because I was beyond thirsty. If I didn’t leave the house I would’ve punched this kid and not stop. I love my brother but he’s highly disrespectful to our dad and manipulates his mom, complains when he isn’t the center of station and argued for the sake of entertainment. Dad says I should be the bigger person and actually spend time with him but what’s the point when all I’m going to get is attitude?
I think I hate my brother?
