I probably rant about my brother a lot. I haven't been ranting much lately, but goodness, I'm feeling rather disgusted right now. At the moment, he is talking on the phone with this girl. He's been talking to her so much all the time, but that's not the case. He's bad-mouthing about my parents to her. He's just saying the stupidest things.

I remember that I would get angry at my parents for certain things like them being to strict or what-not, but this was when I was twelve. He's only started giving them crap.

The things he says. He called them sluts and talked about stealing money from them if he were to find their wallets lying around. That's just messed up. :glare:

I wonder if I ever talked to my friends back then like he does now. I'm sure I didn't call them sluts or anything extreme like that though. I think the worst I've said is that they're stupid, which I don't say much anymore anyway.

I'm just sitting here at my computer listening to my brother talk to this girl about my parents. I can't say anything or else he will just blow up at me and probably try to kill me in my sleep. I think I'm going to talk to my parents about it later, not to tattle or anything, it's just that it bothers me that he disrespects them like this.

I understand that our family isn't doing so well financially right now. My dad is our only source of income, and he's constantly working overtime in some other city. We rarely get to see him. It's hard on them, so I'd rather not do anything to stress them out.

But my brother, all he cares about is going shopping and whatever is revolving around in his world. "I want this. I want that." He's taken greed and selfishness to another level. I never thought that I would meet someone like this.

It irritates me so much. *sigh* :closedeye

Arg. And he just called his friend a slut. What's up with him calling everyone sluts?!

maybe you should suggest to your parents about making your brother work part-time. then maybe he'll appreciate what your parents are going through.

I agree with Tao -- that would be a good idea. At least sit him down and explain to him what the problem is financially. My lil' sis used to get really upset about that kind of stuff, but later she got more upset gecause my mom and dad never told her about anything happening in the family.

I think if they get treated respectfully, as if they're old enough to understand the problems the family is going through, they might get a little more perspective about how they're treating them.

The thing is, he knows what's going on. They've reminded him a countless number of times. I guess it's just not getting through to his head.

He's only a year younger than I am. Then again, there's that thing about how guys mature at different rates than girls do.

Convincing to my parents to let him get a part-time job will be a bit difficult. He's brought it up to them before. They want him to concentrate on his studies (which he really doesn't give a damn about). I don't know how that could go.

I talked to my parents about it. They want me to talk to him because he listens to me more. I don't know how that is going to go either.

Your brother is bad mouthing your parents cuz he is just a teenager trying to act like a bad ass in front of the girls. I doubt that in reality he feels the way he talks about your parents or that he will end up stealing money from their wallets.
There ain't much you can do, puberty is probably the stupidiest stage of life for both men and women and we all have to go thru it. Just be patient with him and try to understand he's just a kid trying to impress a girl

I don' think he's just trying to impress people. He talks to me about it, too. Why in the world would he want to impress me? lol

yeah. i agree. i remember getting furiously pissed off with my parents but i have never said such harsh words about them. infront of them or behind their backs.

even through the worst of times, i knew i still loved them... and they were somewhat strict too.

I think it's just something that happens with younger siblings. My sister is a lot like your brother; cursing all he time, calling everyone a bitch or similar insults; not that I don't curse or anything, but she's a lot more casual with it.

I agree, he needs to grow up. For most guys that won't be until they're 30. At least.
