Isn't this annoying??

Question

Like an hour ago, I went down stairs and saw my little brother making a band aid out of medical tape. I told him that we have normal band aids and that medical tape won't soak up any blood. He ignored me and cut five super thin strips and put them on his finger (it looked really stupid). I asked him if he needed any help, and he starts getting all defensive. He runs into the living room to find my mom and tells her that I'm being mean to him. My mom looks at me and she's like,"Why did you have to say anything in the first place?". He tells on me 24/7 and my mom always agrees with him. He'll tell on me if I use sarcasm, or whatever. What do I do?

Answer 1

Okay, it's annoying, but it sounds like you really care about him.  So, be as sensitive as possible and ride it out - he'll outgrow it.

Answer 2

ha im 13 i think you should just tell on him alot when he does something to you or if youre catholic pray  

Answer 3

OMG!! im 12 and my bro is 10!! he does the same thing everyday all day!! if i talk to him he yells at me!!!! And if I dont talk to him he yells at me!!!!I get soooo mad and then he loves it!!!!!!! It gets me so mad! My mom and dad both say that he is so little and he is so innocent and why should I be picking on him??? IT GETS ME SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

your so lucky he doesnt know me that Sh** gets on my Last nerve  

Answer 5

Hopefully he'll outgrow this extreme sensitivity someday. And when he realizes what he's done all those years, he'll be really grateful for you putting up with it. And just don't talk to him- he needs to be annoying somewhere, why not let it be at school? Just don't give him the chance!

Answer 6

Really just be nice to him.  Try to treat him like you would want someone else to treat him.  If he's doing something silly, or dumb, just ignore him.  Compliment as much as possible and try to joke w/ him more, invite him to do stuff w/ you.  Your mom will notice your great behavior - I promise!  Good luck, you sound like a really nice big sister.

Answer 7

being close in age and with him being younger than you he does whatever he can to get your mothers attention

it seems to be irratating to your mother she actually feeds into him without question

he could have used band aids then why would mom notice but with the tape shes bound to notice and inquire about it

i have three sons ages 6 and 7 and 10

the 6 year old is constantlt telling and most of the time its nothing or  blown out of proportion or even a lie but i always find out exactly what happened and i pretty much dont interfere but when he tells dad

dad always falls for his trap of getting others yelled at and getting dads attention so i told the other two boys to start telling before he does and he hates that so now he only tells if its necessary like if someone gets hurt or is about to

i had to nip it in the bud  

Answer 8

Ignore him!

Don't talk to him.

If he asks you a question , answer it, and that's it.

Don't be mean, but don't go out of your way to interact with him.

Answer 9

hunn;

no ofeense but get used to it..

try being 14 and having two 6 year old little brothers that are twins!!!!!!

my gosh thats when you have trouble..  dont stress. think about it, you could be in my positiion!

just ignore him as much as you can.. if he wants to do extremely stupid stuff.. like the bandaids let him do it on his own. it will eventually get him back and bite him in the butt

Answer 10

Just let him learn from his own mistakes. He does something wrong? don't tell him. What's the point? "He's smarter and more expirienced" XD

So just leave him, ignore things like that. Can't you act older, instead of pointing out stupid little things he does? :D

Answer 11

ignore the brat.

Answer 12

just dont talk to him...ignore him...and if he says anything to you then u can say something...trust me, i know i have a little brother and a little sister..it can get really annoying...my parents always thinking i did something

Answer 13

Wow that really seems annoying =[ and since 11 he's already a big kid its not like he's 3 yrs. old so i think you should talk to him and ask him why he is like that and that your just talking to him not yelling at him or bothering him. Or you can try talking with your mom too and tell her that you don't do anything to him and that he just exaggerates.

I hope your bro changes and hope i helped, good luck!  

Answer 14

yea it sounds anoyying, just dont bother with him if you are going to get in trouble.  

Answer 15

I used to have the exact same problem with my little brother, and it drove me insane!!!

My mom would almost always side with him, even when he really was in the wrong. I don't remember what I did to cope with it, but it really made me mad. I'd try to just leave him alone, he can't tattle on you if you never say anything to him! I know you can't really stop talking to him entirely, but just try to be nice I guess.

I know it's hard when Mom won't really hear your side, but just try to keep a low profile and there will be less chance of conflict.

Good luck!

Answer 16

ignore him completely. if he asks why, tell him its because everything you say he gets mad about and tells on you for. so you just ownt talk to him at all.
