Last night, when it was time to go to sleep my brother (he's two) was in the bed about to go to sleep with my mom but I came in the room to get my notebook and he jumped off the bed and ran to me crying for no reason. He does it all the time when ever it's this time of night. I picked him up and he said "milk" asking me to take him downstairs to get some milk before he went to bed so I did and when we came back upstairs and I was going to give him back to my mom....he shook his head no. He pulled himself closer to me and said "no, mommy" and tried to turn me the other way so we would go into my room.
How do I get him to go with my mother when it's time to go to sleep so I can go to sleep for school?

I want him to get used to being in his own bed and being with my mom, I'm not complaining or bragging. And she sleeps in my grandfather's room because she says there's a problem with hers and won't go in there till he fixes it and she was helping me with homework earlier that evening.

Try to talk to your mom about this matter. She must be the one to solve this.
Good luck! ;-)

I totally disagree with children sleeping with their parents, but that's a whole 'nother subject! I suspect your brother is using you to put off going to sleep. Before your mother takes him off to bed, make sure you have retrieved any belongings you may have left in there. I have to wonder what your notebook was doing in your mom's room anyway?
If she can close the door, that would be best. If not, you need to stay as far away from that bedroom as possible until he's asleep for the night. If possible, you should probably go to your own room and take care of your own business, homework assignments, laying out your clothes, whatever you can do the night before. Help get your next day organized.
If your mother did an okay job raising you this far, she'll do okay with your brother, you just need to stay out of it.
Good luck!

Are you bragging or complaining? You are competing with your Mom for his attention... stay OUT of her room when it's time for him to go to sleep and don't give your brother 'treats' and then expect him to make smart choices. I can't imagine WHY your Mom is letting you get away with this behavior... there must be more to the story!

Just avoid going to the mothers room at night (bed time).
You must be spoiling (playing giving candy,----, ---,) your little brother so he is more attached to you.
Draw a line and allow some such time, then close the door to your room or area and let him know you need the time to do your thing, like study, ----, ---.

Your Mom should be taking care of that, not you. When he asks you for milk, tell him "no" and leave him with your mother. She can handle whatever tantrum he throws next.

Never mind work and school, why doesn't he like to be with your mum? Is there a real problem? Or is it just growing pains?

um hello, try asking the child.
she might be sexually molesting him.
take him to get tested. they can prove that these days.
i know i didnt want to be around my uncle when he did that to me. i stayed with my daddy. i was too scared to be near my uncle even with someone else in the room too
