Was it really my fault? (read details)

Question

Okay so my mom and dad and my older brother and I were supposed to stay at a friend's beach house this weekend. But my brother and I just got back from a camping trip and were tired so we decided to stay home instead. So my parents went to stay at the house for the night and are coming back tomorrow. So today my brother and his friends were hanging out at our house and I was basically in my room watching movies. So then I came out at 1:30 in the morning and they were all gone. I kind of got scared and called my brothers cell phone four times and texted him but he never answered. a couple minutes later I decided to call my mom just because I was freaked out. A while later my mom called and let me know that he had gone tping with his friends and forgot to tell me. So now my brother is all mad at me because he got in trouble with my parents and admitted that he should of told me but that it was stupid for me to call my mom. Can you help me? I don't know was it stupid for me to call my mom? Any opinons? haha thank you.

Answer 1

Sounds like your brother is just trying to shift the blame and make you feel guilty because you were indirectly responsible for getting him in trouble.  If he had told you he was leaving you would not have called mom.  If he had answered your calls you would not have called mom.  He had two opportunities to avoid getting in trouble with mom.  Inform you where he was going and answer your calls.  He failed to do this.  It's NOT your fault nor are you stupid.  Maybe he was a bit stupid and maybe he's projecting this on you.  You did the right thing.  Peace out.

Answer 2

you no the answer

he admitted he was wrong

you should have waited till the morning

Answer 3

no it wasnt stupid that you called your parents because you were worried. it was his fault cus he didnt pick up the phone when you were calling him

Answer 4

You are NOT stupid for calling your mom! you did exactly what you should have done, and that was what any responsible person would do.What your brother did was the stupid thing here.and he shouldn't be mad at you, YOU should be mad at HIM. You did good.  

Answer 5

NO it wasn't stupid of you to call your Mom, you did him just right! He is just mad becasue he got into trouble, but that's his own fault, not yours! So tell him to deal with it on his own and not to be mad at you for  his own stupidity. If you have to, get your Mom involved because I bet she'd back you up instead of him! Anyone would have done what you did in that situation!  

Answer 6

You know... same thing has happened between my brother and I when we were younger. He'll get over it eventually cause it's really not that big of a deal. Women naturally worry more than a male would about these kind of things. You weren't wrong, you were genuinely worried. Don't feel bad.

Answer 7

Your brother is mad because he didn't think before he acted.  He is really mad at himself, but taking it out on you.  He'll get over it.  If he continues to give you a hard time, tell him that he left you alone without letting you know and it was late at night and he scared you, if anyone should be mad its you, but your not so he needs to get over it

Answer 8

nah, i don't think ur brother should be mad @ u. he shoulda told u he was leaving. i wouldn't worry about it.    

Answer 9

no it wasn't stupid if you are worried what else can you do . he should of told you he was going out and if he was doing something he shouldn't of it is his fault. you are more responsible than him so don't worry about

Answer 10

He's stupid.  You did your part as a sister to communicate with him, and tried to reach him four times on the phone.  He didn't pick up and is blaming you for him non - communication.  Same thing with my brother, he's stupid and likes to blames me for the rocks that he has in his head.

Answer 11

uhm,he's stupid for not

planning it out better.

he should have thought

before acting on his urges.

Answer 12

Of course it wasnt stupid. You did what made sense.  

Answer 13

no it wasn't your fault i would've done the same thing if I was you it's your brother's fault...he should've told you he was going camping with his friends and admitted it that means he knows it's his fault don't sweat it it's nothing no problem

Answer 14

You did the right thing by calling your parents. i would be scared to death if i just walked out of my room and everyone was gone. just tell your brother the only reason you called your mom was because you were scared and you thought he was in trouble or something. i would have called my parents if something like that happened to me.

Answer 15

Simple:

you did the right thing

end of story

he's just mad  because  he's stupid!

OH!  and he should grow up!

Answer 16

its not your fault hes pissed he got busted you were worried its natural

he'll get over it  

Answer 17

No it wasn't. it's better to be safe than sorry, if you were freaked than you were right to call your mom.

Answer 18

No it wasn't stupid girl. You are just worried why you called your mom because he is not picking the phone. Just relax. Talk to your brother. Tell him the real story why it happened. Tell him it made you so worried.  I guess. girl he will understand you.
