How can my parents believe me?

Question

Lately, I've been getting in SO much trouble it's not even funny. I have three younger siblings (2 girls and a boy; They're triplits) who are turning 7 this August.

EVERYTHING they do, they blame on me, and I end up getting in trouble for. Sometimes they are straight out LIES, and they believe 7 year olds to someone twice their age.

And no, I have never done anything to get them to not believe me, nothing like drugs alcohol or anything of the sort. Nothing whatsoever, yet they NEVER take my side.

One example: I told my dad that I don't like it when my sister goes in my room and touches my stuff. (No I'm not a tattle tale) This is BRAN NEW stuff, a $750 laptop and accsesseries, ipods and such. My dad tells her to stop nicely and then FLIPS out on me because I'm being "Obsurd"

It just pisses me off to see them act like total douche bags and then get away with it, because I took all of the heat.

Anyone have any suggestions for anything? I need help... How can I deal with my three bags of douche? How can my parents listen?

Answer 1

you should frame your brothers so you are even or just plan something out to catch them...make sure your parent are there.

Answer 2

That's a tough one, but if you are describing things accurately then I would definately side with you and say you and say your parents are not reacting to this situation well.  They are enabling the little people's behavior and discounting your "right" to have some semblence of normalcy.  I sometimes think that young people are not willing enough to stand up for themselves.  I don't mean to do that in a destructive, disrespectful way toward your parents, but calmly and without anger...and sometimes to the point that you just "go quiet" and don't talk to your mom and dad beyond what is necessary, just to make the point.  When they ask what in the world is wrong, it opens up the ability for you to explain that you feel you have no reason to believe that what you say matters, that you are always discounted and yelled at for things that are not your fault, and that might make a strong statement and do some good.  That's just a thought.  At the same time, how about taking them up on their mindset, LOCK things up that are of any value, lock your room door, insist on a lock if they are going to blame you for allowing them to have access to your stuff.  Sorry I can't help more, today's parents can be very difficult, lol.

Answer 3

Thats part of being an older sibling. My sister gets me in trouble all the time..just try to talk to them and tell them not to touch your stuff or the boogey man might come for them...

put your stuff in a safe place, lock your door etc.

and dont call them douches..you know you love them.

Answer 4

get a lock for your door

Tell the little brats (okay so reason nicely with them, they are getting older so they should start to understand.) to stay out of your stuff.

One suggestion that popped into my mind, is to spend A LOT of time with them, always be around them, always be suggesting to do things with them, they may just avoid you for awhile after that.

But yeah, defiantly get a lock for your door. Tell your dad that if he doesn't want to believe you, then that's fine, but it's still happening and you want it to stop.  

Answer 5

They never will.  Are your parents younger sibs or older?  My mom is the youngest and she always stands up for my little sister - my dad on the other hand is the oldest and is reasonable.  Figure that out, then I'll get back to you.

Answer 6

Honestly, this in inevitable...getting your parents to believe you over their babies.

Here's what you CAN do though...go to Home Deopt, buy a new doorknob that has a lock,

And play their game, do something a 7-year old would do....color on walls, drop eggs on the floor, etc.

Hope this helps!
