You are both very close in age and that makes it rough! I would talk to your parents. Because of the 4 year age difference, maybe they will realize they should just get a sitter for him?!
Does he behave for your parent's? If they don't mind for them, he won't mind for you! But then again, even if he does mind for THEM, that doesn't mean he'll mind YOU. I would definitely discuss this with your parents though. Let them know that you just can't handle this.
In the mean time, tell him to behave or you'll start taking things away that he threatens to throw at you! If this doesn't work, send him to his room and make him stay there!! Lock him in there until he minds you!! He has to learn to respect who is watching him and mind. Ask him why he is acting this way. Or try to do things together. Just keep trying all these things honey! I hope it works out for you !! Good luck!

That sounds tough! Play video games together for awhile to get some bonding time. Play a game together, something that will make both of you laugh.
It is hard at your age to get his respect and co-operation, but if you find some activities to share in the beginning of the day, the rest of the day just might get better. Take to your parents about this problem. 13 is a rough age and with a brother 9, ouch!
Talk to him and smile a lot.

I have a little sister and believe me.. younger ones can be a BIG brat. Best thing to do is talk to your parents.. You may also when you get back in school talk to your school counceler.. He sounds like he is a bigger responsabilty then you wanna handle.. and from the sounds of it.. I dont blame you hun. If your parents done believe you... then I suggest getting out the good ole camera and taking pics if you can. My step sister was the same way. REALLY bad... Sadly not much worked until I finally told my dad and he just told me to not watch her anymore.

I went through the same thing when I was 13. But I didn't have Yahoo to help me. I would talk to your parents first. If that doesn't help then be mean right back to him. When your parents start questioning you on why you are mean to him then tell them because they wouldn't listen to you the first time so you took it upon yourself. If it still don't work beat him with a belt.

You need to discuss this situation with your parents, because it's really their problem, not yours. If it is at all possible, other childcare arrangements should be made, so that an adult or older teen is in charge of your brother. And your parents should make it clear to your bro that he is expected to behave reasonably and respectfully toward whoever is in charge, whether it is you or someone else.
If you continue to be fill the role of on-staff babysitter, you need to get with your parents to develop strategies which include consequences for unacceptable behavior and rewards for good behavior. For both you and your brother. (After all, you're pulling extra duty, there should be extra perc's in it for you.) Once your brother's behavior no longer works for him, he'll cut it out.

This is simple... tell your mom that if she can't make him listen to you then you can't watch him. My brother used to be a total terror when I watched him and my mom wouldn't let me spank him or anything. I told her that if I couldn't punish him then I couldn't watch him. Since she didn't want to have to pay someone she let me spank him. I also took his video games away from him and locked him in his room. It only took a few days without a video game for him to figure out that I meant business and stop acting like a fool. Best wishes

wow, you should really talk to your parents about this. they need to tell him that while you are watching him, he needs to listen to you, if not they should punish him by taking away certain privileges. If he is disrespecting you, chances are he will have trouble in the future with other authority figures, such as his teachers and other caregivers. explain this to your parents and try to see if there is a way you can babysit less time.

#1 Does your parents know what is going on. If they do then tell them they need to calm him down or you won't watch him anymore. Tell them to hire a babysitter if they won't do nothing about it. It does get old I had to watch my little brother when he was small but now we're grown. It's just something they go through because he is still small and acts like a little kid.
Just talk to your parents and see if they will discipline his butt. That always calmed my little brother down when he would get out of hand.
Sorry but good luck on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to talk to your parents about this. Your ages are way too close. You need to set up a system that your parents can punish him for things when they get home. You need to talk to your parents about getting someone to help you a few hours each day.

Tell his your parents your not watching him because he is a pain. Stick to your ground even though in the end your parents will rule there way.
Maybe your mom or dad can get him to behave.
