I know it must be annoying, but look after the little chap - he is your bro, and one day when you're both older you'll look back on these times with fondness.

Go in the pool with him, the computer will be here when you get back - kids shouldn't be in the pool unsupervised and he might go in without you if you don't join him

If you said you would go in the pool with him, you have to do it. Keep your word.
No matter what your age, you should spend some time with your younger brother.
Maybe you could plan it so that it doesn't interfere with your other activities. I know a five year old doesn't understand time very well, so sometimes you have to say no, I can't do it right now.

although your brother may be ''doing your head in'' he is only 5 yrs old and to him your his big sister and he just wants to play, i do know how you feel as i was 13 when my younger brother was born and i went through pretty much the same thing.
best thing to do is sit him down and just explain to him that you love him and its not that you dont want to play its just that you dont like playing games much anymore cause your getting older.
i dont think at any age it is wrong to play with a sibling, its all part of the bonding with each other. he probably just looks up to you and loves being with his big sister.
if you dont want to go in the pool tell him and maybe say even though you dont want to get in you will sit at the side for a while and watch him so he doesnt feel like your trying to shut him out

You sound very selfish.
You too good to play with your brother?
Who does he have if he doesn't have you?
What if he goes swimming without you and drowns?
How would you feel then?
It won't be long before you go off to school and hardly ever see him, how will you feel then?
He loves you, and all he wants to do is spend some time with you, and all you want to do is think of yourself.
GROW UP

Whats wrong with spending time with your brother? think of it as parctice to being a mommy some day. I have a 6 year old and I enjoy every minute of play time. they are the most brutal and honest people you can find. if you don't want to spend time with him, you're the one thats going to lose, not him. just think, someday he's going to be older. and if you teach him now to not hang out with you, it will haunt you later.

Your brother needs a friend. Make the recommendation to your mother that she sets up a play date for your brother at a friend's house. Please don't say it in front of your brother. I know you just need a break from him, but you should take it as a compliment that your brother thinks so highly of you.

You are never too old to play with ur little bro...
those day's that he actually wants to be with you and thinks ur cool don't last long,
take advantage of them, hang out with him,
who is it hurting??? from the sound of it he really looks up to you... that pretty cool,
not something to be ashamed of....

Hope this helps : )

you are not too old to play with your 5 year old brother---just make sure you aren't mean to him and don't push him away


-----And besides would it kill you to spend at least 20 minutes of your time in the pool with him?------

I know this is a problem for you but to be fair to him he really looks up to you and is intresting in all that you do because you are a "big kid" in his eyes. All I ask is you think of that as well

First you need to quit being so mean to your little brother. He looks up to you and you're blowing him off, not cool.
