Brother for sale!?

Question

My brother is soooo annoying. He never knocks, he kisses my posters of Miley Cyrus, He never keeps promises, and when I want to go in the pool, he says, I don't want to, so I can't get in the pool in 90 degree weather. Then, last night he wanted to go in, I didn't want to, so he threw a fit, I said "How does it feel?" and I got in trouble!!! He is my younger brother and he is 9 and I am 11. What should I do???
Pleaseee answer this question. I am desperate!!!

And just so you know, the "Brother for sale" thing was just a joke and please don't answer jsut saying I'll buy him for bla bla bla, so stop bugging me about it. Oh yeah, and he is disgusting.

Answer 1

Be patient he will grow out of it.

Answer 2

You have made my morning and brought back so many great memories. LOL I have 4 kids 2 girls and 2 boys. I have 7 sisters and brothers. I am telling you this to let you know it is just something that we brothers do and the youngest ones always knows which buttons to push. lol It is an unwritten code. . . . torment our siblings.

Really he just loves you and wants to be around you. He looks up to you and gets pleasure getting under your skin because it gets your attention focused on him. I would suggest you giving him some of your time just to do things with him he enjoys. Pick a project, play a game hang out with him doing something he loves. It will make a difference.

The years go by very quickly and you will not see each other as often, you both will be involved in activities and things change. You will look back over the years and smile at the things you both did and hopefully it will be fond memories. It will get better as you both get older. :-) I know that doesn't help right now but . . . . this too shall pass.

Because of you I think I will pick up the phone and give my siblings a call. :-)
Take care.

Answer 3

well, for one, your parents feel that since you are older, you should be the mature one. second, it is in his nature to be a brat, simply because you should be the mature one. ever heard that phrase, "you win more flies with honey"? well, I can't say it is true in this case, but try to be nice. it may help.

oh, and if he doesn't have ADHD, then you have a better thing going than my neice. they are the same age as you, and it doesn't seem to matter what the circumstances, he ALWAYS makes her cry. he can't leave her alone for five minutes. if he is in the house with her, he will find her and ruin any kind of good mood she is in. suffice it to say, it's a nightmare when they visit.

just give it time. I know you have a while to go, but when you get older, your relationship will be different. my sister and I were a year apart growing up, and we stayed grounded because we couldn't stop fighting, and I mean fistfighting. we had to share the same room too, so you can imagine what it was like to be grounded to my room for the week and have to look at her at the same time. but when you get older, all that petty stuff isn't important anymore, even though it's REALLY important to you now. I'm betting you will get closer with age. just be as nice as you can to him for right now. it'll probably surprise him and he might start being nice back!

Answer 4

You two will grow-out of it. I am 22 and my younger bro is 20. We joke around alot now, but when we were younger... it was crazy. We had good and bad days... but mostly bad. I have broke my wrist trying to make him fall off his bike... because he was following my friends and me...and wouldn't stop. (I was like 11 or 12). The best thing for now is just try to avoid as much arguing, but it is going to happen, regardless. Try your best at being a good big sister and rolemodel.

Answer 5

that's actually pretty cute, but i can get how it can be annoying if your the one living the nightmare. the other guy was ryt, your brother's gonna grow up and he won't have time to bother you cuz he'll be too be busy with his own life. but i can tell you this, he most probably adores you and just wants to hang out, i mean think about it, if you didn't like someone why would you want to spend all your time around that person?

Answer 6

he sounds like my baby brother,just be patient with him,he is still a baby,girls mature faster then boys,and if you want to go in the pool,then go with out him,try to ignore him,later in life you will be as close as a brother and sister can be,you just have to be patient

Answer 7

Me and my brother are the SAME way. I almost hate him. He is sarcastic about everything! And when I like something he disses it. Like when I really liked the song Irreplaceable, he would go, to the right to the right. GUH. I can't stand him!!! We are evn the same amount of years apart. 2.

As what to do, I have no idea.. Sorry

Answer 8

I am an only child and so is my child - we'd love to have a brother!
He'll get over being annoying in time, just keep loving him and you'll realize someday just what a treasure he is.

Answer 9

im 14 and both my younger brothers are the same, i used to get into trouble for things they have done!

sit down and talk to your parent/s tell them, it worked for me! or if you dont want to face them write them a letter explaining how u feel!

Answer 10

Sounds like he is having fun pushing your buttons. Try not to be so obvious in what you want and dont expect him to do anything to cooperate. If it doesnt drive you nuts he may cooperate out of bordom.

Answer 11

These are normal problems! I had them with my sister and my children have the same ones now. However, as adults, my sister and I are best friends now, so there is hope!! Just go easy on your mom!! It is tough on us too!
