You go and be a good little girl and leave the raising the children to mom. Let her know that you are not responsible for rearing them and that if she cannot get them to respect you as the eldest, then you are not willing to babysit them, because you will not be held responsible and you won't by law, if something bad happens to them. Well anyway something like that you need to say in your own words. Good luck!

Why are you the one parenting your brothers? If you're watching them while your parents work, then you need to have a family meeting and have your parents set down rules for when you watch the boys. Either way, your problem won't be resolved until your parents become involved!

Are you babysitting is that why you are telling them what to do? If you are then you need to talk with your parents as to how they want you to enforce the house rules. Give documentation about behavior and if it is not confronted tell them that you cannot be responsible for your brothers' safety and behavior of it is not checked.
If you are simply telling them what to do without the responsibility for them then you are overstepping your bounds, you are not their parent and they know it. Live your own life and let them live theirs.

I have an immature sister who says, "Your're not the boss!" It is so irritating, but do remind yuor self that you are not the parent, let your parents recieve the headache! Unless you are babysitting then let your parents know to tell them the rules when your are taking care of them. You are not alone!

Tell them about how much it effects you and your family. Make sure they know how much everyone does for them, and if they want to become "real men" when they grow up, they should start respecting you and listening to your wishes. Good luck.

don't shout, that'll only cause more frustration. try asking them camly to just stop whatever it is that is bothering you and explain to them why it's a bad thing. if you can't handle them then just have your mom manage it. i understand that you are trying to be a good big sister, but that doesn't make you their parent.

if you are in charge of them then you mom has given you the authority over them - they probably don't respect your parents either i guess - yelling just makes it worse, when you yell they have already won - take away TV or games or something like that

i think u should beat the hell out of them and tell them how u feel while doin dat; that is what i do with my 8yr old sister, she drives me crazy when she when she can't get her own way.
After when u did dat u should sit down and talk to dem about how u feel.
