Answer 1

Reason 1. He cheated on his wife with my own.
Reason 2. He cut the break cables on my car and I nearly died.
Reason 3. He called me "Buffalo butt," and I'm very sensitive.

Answer 2

I have two younger sisters, and I agree with you, I could never be mean to them. When I was younger I may have been a little mean, with no good reason, but now I feel the most guilty about just not spending more time with them, and now they live so far away that I only see them once or twice a year. I think it is ignorant to be mean to younger siblings, most of the time they are just trying to be "annoying" just so they can be close to you, and it really is not annoying, in fact I think it is cute how most little sisters or brothers look up to their older siblings...of course, provided that the older sibling has a good head on their shoulders.

Answer 3

As the middle of 5 children, I had my share of giving and taking crap with my siblings... Kids are kids, they don't have the greatest patience for things that most of us could rationalize as "oh, they just don't know any better" Having been teased, you feel entitled to this right of passage, giving your younger brother or sister a bunch of crap. Sometimes your anger is justified (little sister taking and ruining your favorite outfit, someone eating your candy, etc), sometimes it's just because your sibling happens to be the nearest target to take out other aggressions onto... Are these "good" and "bad" reasons? You'd probably feel and do the same things if you experienced them as an adult really... You keep up your good example, but don't be so quick to pass judgment

Answer 4

It is so funny that you ask this. My brother is a little over 4 years younger and he WAS so annoying when we were little. He used to want to order the same thing as me at a restaurant and I would get SO MAD! Looking back, I think it is so funny because it was just that he obviously looked up to me! I think the older wants independence - the younger to be accepted and so there is friction. We are now 27 and 23, and SO close. We get along really well and spend a lot of time together - it is just a growing up thing -

Answer 5

i have a sister that was mean to when we were children... Now i wasnt a jerk all the time, but i picked on her. Hid her toys and taunted her. But when it came to someone else picking on her i was ready to kick someones A$$. And these days since we are all grown up. We are the best of friends. Why did i do it? Mostly because i could and it was a power struggle. And i was bored. I never hurt her for real and she will tell you that. She picked on me too. I suppose i could have been a better kid but i grew up eventually.

Now i have 2 boys and the older one will pick on the little one, but the little guy can stand his ground. I see the reasons for their struggle is a vie for attention from me or mom. And then there is the fact that his little brother slows him down. For example he doesnt want to play with him sometimes because he doesnt want to play kiddie games and the little one cant play the same games all the time. He cant ride his bike yet so there is that seperation. I think this continues until adulthood. There will always be things that someone older can do until you are on level ground. from bikes to 4 wheelers to cars to girls to anything.

Thanks for making me think about this... I will try to help mediate a little more in my boys life...

I would like to ask you why do you want to do things with your little bros and sis' ... your advice will help my boys

Answer 6

I can't say that I was ever mean to mine but I do know I would pick on them. But there is no way I would let anyone else be mean to them. I would even take up for them when it came to the wrath of our parents. I couldn't stand back and let them get them get the punishment that they would give out. That is good that you are a good big sister. That is what makes having brothers and sisters so great. The best part is when you are grown and you can all hang out with your families. I love spending time with my family and their children.

Answer 7

well it depends on the age diffrence between one and his/her bro/sister if it is minor most probably they would be mean, and i think it is so because the older feels that he/she needs attention, and that the younger bro/sis is getting most if not all the attention. when the older says that tthe younger is a pain in the *** or is always bothering because that is the way he/she feels, "first u get all the attention now u want to take my fun, friend and life too. " that is really the thinking, and when the older is away from his younger brother/sister it is because he is jelous and is trying to over come this feeling. however the younger brother/ sister wants to know what he is doing, he/she wants to immitate his/her older brother/sister.

the younger brother is also jelous fro m the lder brother, "why does he get to go out with his friends? why does he get a cell phone befor i do?" these questions continue. but when the older brother trys to give advise or order to his/her younger sibling, he/she takes it personal and disobeys because of the jelousy. this cycle countinues between the two brothers/ sisters....but the love is deep i nside , where u can't see it


if the diffrence between two brothers sisters(kidz) is big this hatread is not reachable, because the older brother is very kind and loving to the younger brother/ sister
however when we grow we realize that it is ignorant, and the bonds between brothers and sister strengthen. and the annoyance and "hatred" and meannes disappears.

Answer 8

Really good question, I am going to watch this as beyond simple ridiculous sibling rivalry I don't understand it. My husband and his older brother are in their 40's and the older still treats the younger like you know what.... Gee you think that he would have grown up, all I know is I am eternally grateful I got the better of the two...

Answer 9

I don't think there is a good reason but me and my brothers when we lived together we used to have to be taken to the hospital after we had a run in lol like one time my brother was in the back seat of our mini van which was folded down because there were boxes in the back because we were moving and i told him i was going to tell our dad and so he picked up a crow bar and hit me in the head with it he was six i was three but it was always things like that i cant tell you how many times i have had to have stitches lol

Answer 10

hahaha then YOU must be the youngest lol =P
the reason why we call little brothers/sisters annoying is because they really CAN be. if you DO have younger brothers/sisters who NEVER follow you around when you're busy, NEVER get into your things, and NEVER blame you for things you didn't do, then there IS no reason to be mean to them and you can consider yourself one of the fortunate few. for most of us, it isn't like that, and sometimes our younger siblings simply get on our nerves once too many times, so we get mad. but of course i admit i can't imagine life without my 2 little brothers =)

Answer 11

I don't believe your families the 'Brady Bunch'. I'm the middle of five and was picked on and bullied by my younger siblings. I fought back. It's a part of development and learning social skills (and learning self defence - haha).
