Ok my older brother who is 25 had another premie kid in december, and they dont have a place top live right now so they are living with me and my parents. My room is the 2nd biggest in the house and down in the basement everybody wants me to give up my room for him and his wife and 2 kids, should I let them have my room or not. I dont thinkl I should because about the only nice thing he has ever done for me is get tickets to a MN timberwolves game. My parents said they would even give me $50.00 a month if I let them stay in my room, but I spend most of muy time in my room. What should I do??

I think I'd ask my parents to turn the basement into a nice retreat. Tell them that if they can help you paint, carpet and fix it up, you'll do it. It might end up being bigger and nicer than your room. You may even end up with more privacy.

Give up the room. Stop thinking about what your brother gave you only one time. It's different now. Your brother has a family and his kids make you a uncle. And be a good one. Show them you care. They need the space. And as far as your parents paying you $50 a month for you to give up your room that crazy. I see how you became a brat that you are. They have to buy you off for you to do the right thing. That's not right. If you really want to do the the right thing give up the room and don't take the money. Show everybody your more mature and that your not a brat.

I say give up your room.
I'm totally confused about why everyone is still living with your parents--but that is your business not mine.
If you are paying rent to stay there, then you might have a legitimate argument about keeping the larger room.
But if you are staying for free while you are in college show your maturity and offer to stay in the smaller room--without your parents paying the $50.
Just my opinion

Yes give up your room don't form a wedge between u and your brother. But maybe u should negotiate the money side of it maybe u could screw them for more.
