My younger brother has been really mean to me. Sometimes I think about fighting him. We are in our early 30's.
How would you resolve a mean brother or sister? I am thinking that fighting may be the answer. Show him or her who is tougher..
Serious answer please.. technically there are 2 questions, thanks.

Well, my brother has always thought that his name was "Billy Bad A$$. He has control issues and the funny thing is, he cannot control himself.
I am 35 and he is 33. He has chased me with hammers. He is violent. It makes me sick to my stomach. Last year we did have a physical fight because he was getting physically violent with my child. I kicked his a$$ out of my house and now since he is on his own, my life is so much better. We are speaking again, but I rarely see him. I do not like conflict, but that time was necessary. You don't mess with my child. I hope this helps.

Fighting it out is no solution to resolving differences. By Fighting out, I mean physically, would suit growing up siblings because they are childish and learning it the hard way.
If u say your brother is mean and u want to fight it out it, will only show how immature and childish u still are. Grow up bro u need to teach a lesson or two to ur younger one. Why stoop down to his level and equal him in his immature antics. Be a man not a boy and show him that he needs to mend his way and be a good guy in a mature way. Showing aggression and throwing fist will not prove u r a man but only how barbaric u r and laws will get u both sent to jail, however domestic the fight may be.
And wud u want ur kids to follow the same suit. Wud u love to see ur 2 or 3 kids fight against each other till one or both of them is knocked out.
Think about it. And solve differences in a more calmer manner. Talk it out. If wont listen then stay away from him and make ur self wen he needs u. He will get the hint. Afterall every body has to grow up some day.

I've gotten into fist fights with my younger brother, it must be our hot latin blood or something =P. We always made up afterwards though. I think the best way to resolve a mean brother or sister is to not go around them, if they wanna be mean they can go be mean by themselves. I get along alot better with my brother since we don't spend much time together.

I have a younger brother who is a great person. If he was a turd, then I wouldn't speak to him anymore. Possibly, I'd tell him why over the phone b/c I don't think fighting is going to solve anything. Unless you're a guy and there is some alpha male thing going on here. If he's your little bro and he loves you, then it may really upset him to lose you over his attitude problem.

If you want to show him who is the tougher person, just ignore him....this will show him that he does not get to you anymore....maybe try not talking with him or contacting him for a couple of days also....hope it works out.
PS I don't think fighting is the way around this one.

It is normal for being that way, me and my older brother are that way but no that much as when we were younger. ... my mom and one of her sisters don't speak to one another all that my=uch as she (my mom) does with the other sister. but i am not sure how to resolve it. all i know is that usually big sibiling might be tougher on the younger or just the opposite

We did this regularly as children. My mother would get so sick of our arguing she would make us get in the yard and fist fight, Literally!
Since y'all are adults, I think it would be a little childish to fight. Besides this is your brother. Just tell him how you are feeling. Maybe he is such a pain in the A** because he feels inferior to you. You never know why people are acting the way they do unless you ask. Don't ruin the possibility of having a good relationship with him because you are angry with him. Talk to him, yell at him, but don't fight with him. GOOD LUCK!

I would not want too but if they hit me I would fight them, fighting is not good for anyone, maybe another way, might work out better, but I have been there, myself and most of the time I tried to avoid it, but at times, it can't be avoided, and I had to fight, or just stand there and let them hit me, so I fought them, even though I did not want too, but you know what they don't bother me any more,

Just ignore their comments, they just want to get a rise out of you. And yes, I would and have. My brother and I went at it. Doors were broke, blood was dripping and walls had holes in them when we were done. We both learned the hard way that you don't want to mess with each other. I'm glad we did though, it relieved a lot of tension in our relationship.

I fought with my sister when we were teens. But that is no way for adults to settle anything. Fighting is not the answer. Try something else.
