I am my brother's legal guardian. Today he angered me, because when I went to pick him up from school a toddler smashed his iPod Nano which he recently got for his birthday. (2 weeks ago) My brother did the unthinkable.... He pushed the little boy down to the ground. He couldn't have been older than 2. And my brother is 11 years old. I know the little boy angered him, but what my brother did was a HUGE mistake, and everyone was staring at him, so I did what came first in my mind, and I yelled loudly at him, and pulled his ear. Now I feel like a horrible person. I've never reacted like this. I even made him cry. But what would've you done in this situation. A 12 year old picking on a 2 year old is just wrong.

I understand your anger. My mom whos in her 40s and my lil bro live with me. My moms immature and because her life is that of a 20 year old i take care of my 6 year old brother alot at first i use to yell at him alot. this has been going off and on for 3 years wit them living me. I have calmed down alot because i come to realize this kids real parents are self centred and can not care for him like he needs (i dont know ur situation but thats mine) and he needs someone in his corner. Keep in mind that this boy is going to have problems and is going to express his feelings in bad ways. My lil bro hits sometimes after a trip to his dads. i know its him venting his feelings but i threatin punishment. (his is to bed early nothin worse for him) and tell him only people that are dumb use their fist when they are mad. I know it sounds mean but honestly its true. Thats something to tell your brother. Make him realize anytime he uses his mouth as a weapon (not swear words but toher things) that he is more inttelgent then his fellow peers. Also when he makes u mad count to ten and think of much he needs you. its not fair that you had to take on this responsibility and i understand even if you think thats not botherin you it is there. I have that feelin alot but that boy needs someone. best of luck!

That was a gut reaction you saw your brother acting out on a younger smaller child showing dominance , your instinct was to also show dominance over him letting him know that was not ok. Now in a calmer state of mine yes you see things could have been handled in a diffrent manner but I dont think you were wrong. You didnt beat your brother up in front of a group of people you didnt call him horrible names and trash him, dont beat yourself up over this. Hopefully your brother learned something from the experience and you both can move on,

you handled it the best way you could..... he has to learn.....
he will cry a-lot and do alot more..... just stand behind
him when he's in the right and back him up, and let
him know your always there for him...... but show
him too..... he don't need to do wrong...... he's just starting
his teenage years, he's going to need you alot.....there's more to come.....
