I have a 7 year old little brother. Whenever my friends come over, he always has to act up and show off. He bookmarks ADULT sites, and is constantly trying to prank us. Sometimes I hit the kid, but only when he REALLY annoys me. Then I get in trouble. He hits me, he gets "Don't hit your sister" (If I'm lucky, most of the time nothing is done b/c "he's only 7 and he doesn't know better")My parents know what he does, but they don't do ANYTHING how can I settle this myself b/c he will not listen to reason and ignoring him is impossible b/c when I do he throws a tempertantrum and I get yelled at. A prank to scare him a little would be nice, I'm not looking to hurt him, I just want some peace and quiet for a while. Also how do I deal with his antics when the parents are around? I f I yell at him I get scolded for "trying to be his mother". They ignore it. How do I tell them he's a little brat without literally saying "he's a little brat".? I'm 13 if it helps.

I know that, I have a brother who is a year younger than me. By the way, I'm 15. When we were younger we used to quarrel a lot, we hit each other sometimes. But I'm the elder so I just sometimes don't hit him anymore, because when I slap him once, he'd hit me ten times and twice stronger. And it really was annoying. Our parents would always tell me, "because you are the older sister, you should be patient to your brother. You're the one who knows better, so you should learn how to handle him. He's just a kid, and he's a boy." Then my dad would always tell us how he teased his older sister too when he was a kid, now they grew up very, very close. But now when my brother and I grew older I notice that he's more mature now and we don't quarrel much anymore. We sometimes had arguments, but not serious. He sometimes teases me too, but now I learned how to handle him.
And guess what? He is closer to me than our parents. And I sometimes buy him chocolates and in turn, he doesn't tell our parents my secrets.
Do not show your brother that you're angry, because when you fight fire with fire it will get worse. Try to talk him out of it as calm and sweet as you could (that's what I always do when my brother refuses to wash the plates for me). And don't forget to say "please", that will surprise him and confuse him for a while why you became so sweet.
Do not hit him, and do not yell. It will make him worse, just be sweet and keep your voice normal. If he teases you more, just talk to him still. Don't ignore him, just talk.
If he bookmarks adult sites again and does pranks, look at him straight at the eyes and say something like ."Please don't do that."
Reply to me if something happens, if he gets better, worse or still the same. I can help you.
And choose me this as the best answer please, if you may. I just need ten points, ha ha.

When you are playing baseball with your brother and his friends and he tries acting all big and bad just tell him that he needs to stop showing off for his friends and tell him that if he continues to act like that then he is longer allowed to play baseball with you. I understand that your little brother can be annoying but there are just some things that you cant control. A good way of dealing with your brother is just to walk away and breathe. Take 10 deep breathes sometimes that works. good luck.

How strange... I'm 13 and I have the most ANNOYING 7 year old brother as well. Yesterday, he ran into my room before I went in there and hid under my bed. Then me and my friend came in and we were CHANGING! Then I heard him under the bed and drove him out. And the worst part... he didn't even get in trouble! So if you get any advice, let me know!

I think that you parents want you to do it on your own to test you. trust me parents do it all the time. about the little brother. thats just the way that boys are when they are at that age they are bratty and hyper. Make him know who is in charge. when he teases you act like nothing happened and then that'll get him mad boys a that age like to get a rise out of people

He loves you, he just wants to be around you. He enjoys fighting with you and making you miserable. He's happy...from your story, you aren't happy. Let him annoy you..he'll get over it. Besides, that's what little brothers are for.

well you and your friends need to get togather and when he starts acting up grab him and put a dress or a skirt on him,feminise him and dont let him change out of his new outfit.He wilkl either enjoy it ,,or will do whatever you say to get out of the girl clothes.My sister and her friends did that to me,,i liked it and we became real close.I had to be nice to her ,utherwise she wouldnt let me borrow her clothes

you and your friends should tie him to the bed and give him a makeover by dressing him up like a girl, putting makeup on him and painting his nails pink
