parent help?

Question

My little brother and I moved with my Aunt three years ago. He is a 14 year old pain. He doesn't listen to her at all. He talks back and says really mean things. She can do nothing. No punishment works. She's 65 so it's hard for her. The stress is too much. What should she do?

Answer 1

If kids aren't for her, she should get a hysterectomy.

Answer 2

You have been living with your Aunt for 3 years right so I am not really buying the acting out because he misses his mom and is rejecting your Aunt for not being her he is just going through his prepubescent period and he is testing his limits to see just how far he can go and what he can be allowed to get away with.You help your aunt with the discipline that she cant handle.You are the big sister and if he is acting out too much your aunt cant legally take him out back but if you are under 18 and you most likely are give him a good ol'fashioned @$$ whipping it might take more than one application of this treatment but this method will work.I would bet on it.He will learn respect even if you have to teach it to him the hard way .some times that is the only way to do it.

Answer 3

Why can't you help your Aunt? It's hard for a 65 year old dealing with a 14 year old. He needs a good male role model in his life. Do you have any Big Brother clubs in your area? They are there to help. Do so research. Good Luck!

Answer 4

You should punish him yourself, you shouldn't let a 65 year old go through that much stress

Answer 5

What a rude person
he should be glad that somebody is actually taking care of his little self
he is only 14
Does he have a father
maybe a little beating will work
u should try talking o him and let him noe that wat he is doing is very wrong
she is old and doesn't need anybody to put on more stress
Why doesn't these punishments work?
u can write bac to me at [e-mail]

Answer 6

sorry to hear that it isnt working out..where are your parents..if he is your little brother at 14 you must be close to age of adult..try taking him under your wing..and give your aunt a break..you can try calling human services and see if there is a group for your brother to join..troubled teens..maybe he just has some abandedment issues...hope this helped..

Answer 7

She needs to set some type of boundry. Tell her to try her hardest not go get angry, but punish him. It might have something to do with not liveing with his mother or father, but let him know you and your aunt love him very much, and this isnt the way he sould act towrds loved ones.

Answer 8

At 14 he is at the age where he is testing his independence. Since you seem to be the one that is older maybe you can give him a scolding every time he crosses the line.
I have a learning disabled son that ignores me when I try to correct him, but his sister can put down her foot when it comes to scolding and he will listen to her.

Answer 9

Have you tried talking to him? Tell him the importance of respect, not just for your elders, but for everything. I remember being 14, it's rough, I'm sure he's going through a lot, just try to remind him that all of you are going through it too.

Answer 10

she should reward him when he is good, and band him from hanging out with his friends! I think he is acting this way bc he needs a mom and no one can take the palce of your true mom...maybe take him to counciling..I'm really sorry to hear about this and i hope i helped! Good Luck!

Answer 11

I suggest she try to get him some counseling... it sounds to me like he is acting out and she needs to get the bottom of the problem.
