I wanted to take him shopping because I like shopping and my mom does.... She was going to take me with her if she went anyway. My brother is anti social. He does not have any friends and my parents encourage him to not to have friends because he'll go bad..... Like when ever some friends call for me my family actually gets mad...... I am a people person I love doing stuff with other people,but he sleeps during day and stays up till 3am.... does not eat till u put food in front of him.... cusses my dad out all the time..

your mother is the parent here and she should have taken responsibly for her own child and took him shopping not you....that is not your job, it is hers.....so you behaved correctly

From what you say, you didn't do anything wrong. But be honest with yourself -- is this the whole story, or did you have an "attitude" about the whole trip that invited disaster? I sort of pick up that you were feeling put-upon to begin with, so that may have prompted your brother to make it harder for you. Sometimes we can go through the motions of cooperating, but subconsciously sabotage the whole enterprise -- a form of passive aggression.
If you think this fits, bite the bullet and apologize to your mother (and brother, if you think you owe him one, too). If you honestly don't think it fits, then take a deep breath, stay calm and don't make it worse for yourself by pressing the point about who's wrong. Life is not always fair.

You're not the mom why should you have to do it. Sounds like he didn't really want to go shopping himself or he would have tried on some stuff. Maybe he should have a say so. You didn't say how old he was.

Hmmm well you should have done as mom said and took him back in the store to get the pants . You really didnt want to be there anyway so I do understand .

well i assume u are very young???? look get over it.....your mum was pobably a bit disappointed that u couldnt do the task she had asked you to do.......obviously u are not responsible enough to whatch your brother properly so i can understand why your mum yelled at you but i can also understand why u feel like u did nothing wrong.......really the best thing i can say is just forget about it and if it relaly bothers u that much ask your mum and not a bunch of people on the net :)

Well, you tried ... And if your Mom was cussing you (it is unclear if it was your Mom or your brother) she was out of line. Next time she ask you to take him some where, remind her that he will not do anything you ask him to do, and wandering off is dangerous.

I agree, your mom should have taken him. It was nice of you to try it, but you lack the authority to make him behave because you are a sibling and not the parent.

Yeah, your mom should have taken him herself since he doesn't cooperate for you. But sometimes that's just how life goes; my mom always wants me to do things that should really be "her job."

well i think that in this case ur mom is wrong because u did what she asked u to do and its not ur fault that ur brother didnt cooperate with that....u tried and ur mom has to understand that....also if she says that u didnt do it right then why doesnt she do it in the first place??? well....thats what i think
