You don't give ages (Probably safe thing to do)
You're doing the right thing, by the way. Your folks gave you the responsibility of making sure your sibs are safe. That's why you check on your brother. Not only do you love your sibs, you also want to earn - and keep - your parents' trust and respect.
But this is something your parents need to explain and enforce.
They can do this by posting family rules - and the consequences for disobeying them.
Whether your brother likes this or not is not his problem with you. It's his problem with your folks. So bounce his complaints back to your parents - and let them deal with it.
In the meantime, keep on checking up on little Brother. Good for you.

You did not say how old your younger brother was nor did you say where you lived. If you were on a farm it would be harmless....if you live in the city in an apartment dwelling & it was in a dangerous area you should use your common sense. Obviousally you are taking on the adult role here & you must be using your common sense. That is great trying to take care of your sibblings & making sure they are not harmed. Good Luck.

depends how old ur bro is. if he's 4 or 5 your doing fine. But if he's anything over 7 or 8 years old your being a little over protective. My mom always my little 4 year old brother play outside by himself. She also lets my 1 year old sis play without her if I or my 8 year old bro watches him (im 11)

Yes you are. And it isn't a bad thing, from what you've said. At least you know he won't be kidnapped.
Try giving him some space, though, as I did with my own sis in a similar problem. Let him play by himself, but make sure you watch him, and that it is a safe place.

No, I don't think your overprotective at all, anything could happen. I'm like that too with my niece and nephews, but think I have a bit of anxiety as well so I'm sure that doesn't help.

Perhaps a bit so, but it never hurts to keep a watchful eye on things.
