This is awful! Please help me!?!


Question: Im 13 years old and ihave a brother who is 6. Whenever i have a friend over her completely ruins it. Today my friend was over and in the car took a water bodle and drenched my friend. Then tried to throw a car seat at her. Then threw a magazine at my face. He then proceded to scream and be awful. At home he chewed with his mouth wide open on purpose and started disguistingly touching him slef in public. I can not stand this and i have no idea what to do. I hav e a life to live and i dont like bringing friends over because of this.
My parents say just drop it whenever i ask. Dont get me wrong there great parents they just wont stop his behavior.
I really need some advice on what to do. Also is this normal for a 6 year old. This has happened reapetedly.

Ahh yes, little brothers. I don't have one, but my friends do and we've been through this. I know it probably sounds crazy, but you've just got to continue to ignore it. Honestly, it is just a phase that most boys (and some girls) go through. They are going to do EVERYTHING they can to get a reaction out of you. Your friends should understand that it isn't your fault or anything so they should be fine with it. If however, you guys ignore it and it still doesn't go away, try arranging somewhere else you and your friends can go until he outgrows this kind of behavior. Good luck, you'll be just fine. :o)

Suspect he's doing it for attention and effect, but to be honest your parents need to clamp down on it or he'll think it's normal and acceptable which will make things a lot worse both at home and school.

6 year olds will do stuff until told not to just to test the boundaries, although that does sound like particularly bad behaviour to be honest. I'd tell your parents he's turning into a right nightmare and ruining your ability to have friends over, and it's their responsibility to teach him how to behave.

tell him he's not being funny (That always catches them off gaurd) and act like it doesn't bother you at all...he probably does it to see you get all worked up. and soon he'll go out of this phase...as for the friend problem i would get you parents to keep him away when friends are over. Good luck :)

My son is 6yr old and he can get wild and silly too. But he would never throw water all over someone or throw a car seat at someone.

The key to deal with someone like this is just ignore them. I know it is hard but he does this to get a reaction from you. So if you just turn the other way it should stop.

Also try sitting down with one of your parents during a quiet time and talk to them about it. I wouldn't let my son bother my daughter and her friend when they were trying to spend time together.

Good luck

Your brother loves you and wants to be a part of what ever you do. Try to include him in some of your activities, and makes some special time just for him, and most of his"stranger" behaviors will go away. Eventually, he will probly out grow his"worship" of you and find other friends.

Whoa. This is a question your parents should be asking to a child psychologist. It sounds like your little brother has jealousy issues. It seems that he wants to be the center of attention. I know this might be difficult, but have you tried talking to your brother one on one? Just express to him in 6 year old terms that what he does is hurtful. Ask him if everything is okay and if there is anything you can do to help him. I know that it will be hard to step outside of your comfort zone, but what do you have to lose? Other than that, it's up to your parents to get your brother help. They are the ones who should be the disciplinarians. If your parents don't correct his behavior with punishment, how will he know any better? You are a very responsible sister to be asking such a question, by the way. Good luck.

The reason your little brother is doing this is that he knows that he is getting to you. He likes that your giving him attention for once and it's the only way he knows how to get it from you. I know it drives you crazy but you have to ignore it or it will never end. You have to act like its not bothering you. My younger brother did this to me none stop untill I did something about it. I started letting him play with my friends and I for a little bit and he started leaving us alone. Good luck

Hi,
how awful.
for you, your friends, for HIM!!
this is NOT normal behavior, did you do that sort of thing when you were 6??? i don't think you did.
he obviously needs some discipline, but more than that, your parents seem to be encouraging his behavior so i say THEY need the discipline.
perhaps they are good parents, but judging from your little brother, and your asking this question, i would say they are not doing the family any good by spoiling him.
do you have any relatives you can talk to? maybe they can gently discuss this with your parents. not only is this unfair to you, but he is not being trained to be a productive and accepted part of society - his own sister can't deal with him NOW, and he seems to be way beyond normal brattyness.
i wish there was more i could tell you, your parents need to take control of him NOW before it's too late.
GOOD LUCK

This is not normal behavior for a six year old. Is he in school yet? What does his teacher have to say about his behavior? Have a family meeting with your parents and tell them how your bothers behavior is bothering you. You might also suggest that when you have friends over that one of your parents take your brother out to the playground or some other activity. He is looking for attention and might settle down a little if his parents spend some one on one time with him. Good luck.
