How To Stop Brothers Getting In My Room?

Question

I have a younger half brother and an even younger step brother who both get on quite well and share a room. my step brother is always fine with me when my half brother isnt around around but when he is they both 'hate' me. whenever i am at my dad's or hav gone out anywhere, they go into my room. last time, they made a lot of mess and broke quite a few of my things, including my dvd player. my mom doesn't seem to be bothered and refused to tell them off whilst forcing me to tidy up THEIR mess. I would really like tips on how to keep them out, so please, if anyone can help?

Answer 1

Talk to your father about it, and their fathers. They should not do this to you. And don't pay any attention to your mother on this one.  

Answer 2

set some traps for them a bucket of ice cold water comes to mind leave the door ajar place bucket above they open the door they get soaked

Answer 3

ask if you buy it can someone fix a padlock on your door to stop the buggers getting in.

Answer 4

See if you can lock your room but make sure if you use a key you have an extra easy to get to but not where they can find it...If you can't lock the room you will have to either get something to keep your valuables in & put a lock on it or keep them in a locked closet. I think you should tell your mother that as a good parent she should make them have to pay for what they have taken or broke from you. This is very important for you & for them.

Answer 5

Sit down and tell your mum how upset you are and ask if you can get a lock for your room. Offer to do chores/save up to help pay for this and make it clear to your mum that she can have a key, it is just your brothers you want to keep out. I would also ask your mum to make your brothers pay for your DVD player out of their pocket money. If your mum doesn't take you seriously then there isn't much you can do other than keep your most valuable stuff at a mates house, one you can trust!

Answer 6

Besides having a serious talk with your mum, or your brothers, there really is only one thing you can do and that is to invest in a small safe, or safety box, with a lock on it so that I.Pods, phones etc can be kept safe, and as for DVD Players, well can you not mention to your dad the problem, maybe he can have a word with your mum, after all  these items aren't cheap.

And as for tidying up their mess... (which I think is wrong) again it's up to you but I would be a little less 'good' at doing such a good job, and start shoving and hiding their personal stuff in different places that maybe they can't find.. they'll soon get fed up of looking and ask your mum for you not to sort out or go in their room. This may then give you the bargining

power, of saying " well you leave my stuff alone, and leave yours".

Answer 7

Are you allowed to lock your room?

Answer 8

Hey!

Make them respect you by showing how calm you are. Because when we are young it's fun to annoy other people.And to see them get angry.    But if you show that even after the way they treat you, you are still able to stay calm but stern then they will ( maybe  slowly) but eventually develop respect for you.

   Sit them down (calmly) and ask them why they do what they do? Tell them you don't like them going through YOUR things.

What have you done for them to "hate" you so much?You didnt choose to live there or for them to live with you.. Tell them you don't like their behavior and that you guys may have to spend lots of years together and that the house is not going to have a very nice atmosphere if all this is going on.

After having done that, tell your Dad about the chat you had with them. And if they still go through your things, ask your Dad if its possible to put a lock on your door and explain why.

Good Luck

Answer 9

Put locks on your door.  They have no business in YOUR room, and you should NOT be expected to clean up the messes they create

Answer 10

i have the same problem =[ it sux balls

best answer plzzzzz

Answer 11

get a lock or a bolt high up

Answer 12

Tell your parents that you would like some privacy, and it upsets you when your brother borrow and break your things without permission.  Ask if you can establish a new household rule - when your door is shut or you put a "do not enter" sign on the door, no one is allowed to enter, or only your parents are allowed to enter.  Or ask if you can put a keyed lock on your door so that you can lock the room when you leave (make sure your parents have the other key).
