Had a heated argument with my parents on last Sunday & all becoz of my young bro's attitude. Was on my way to work, midway thru the bus journey, searched for office key & realized the key was left @ home. Called home asked my bro to help take the key down to office & I'll pay for taxi fare. Told me that he doesn't want to go by screaming & shouting @ top of his voice, said why am I like that & etc. Hung up his phone coz no point to listening him screaming, called my boss & colleague to ask client to postpone timing. Came home took key, slammed the gates & left for work. Came home pressed the bell, bro opens door, I slammed the gate & told him off. Told my mom to tell "his son" better change his stupid attitude. Told my parents off that if they were so good why not teach their son some manners. Dad got angry, both of us started a screaming comp. Dad dared me to hit him, told him I don't do such thing. Dad gave me 2 tight slaps on my face for not talking to them in a civilized manner.

I don't think it's my younger brother seeking attention. Even if he's seeking attention, I don't think it should be coming from me. He has attention from my parents all right. He doesn't yell at my parents on the phone & neither does he say no to my parents when they ask him for help. So is he attention seeking or is he choosing who to help? If he's choosing who to help, then what's the point of being family members?

Your brother is giving you a hard time because that's what brothers do... he is younger and he really DOES look up to you.... he likely wants your attention, and negative attention is sometimes better than no attention at all... so he acts out and causes an uproar.
Your parents can't change his behavior toward you, only you can do that.... perhaps consider his feelings and be kind to him, even if he acts out... maybe if you included him in some activities with you, took time out to spend with him (cards, bike riding or whatever you both like to do), things may eventually change.
take care.

i think that the grandparents attempt to overcompensate for the toddler's situation. of course, a 15 twelve months previous mom isn't able to suitable shelter slightly one (in spite of if she knows it or not) and so the grandparents experience they could provide her greater help. the unlucky draw back is that your son gets much less interest, yet i don't think of it sounds like he's purposely being "snubbed"

just because people are your parents that doesnt mean that they have the right to hit you or vice versa-familial ties should include respect and that speaks volumes about how we should treat one another...I would draw the line at physical abuse...no one has the right to put they hands on you.....
