My brother is spoiled and an asshole but I still worry

Yeah, that sounds super frustrating, dealing with a brother who's always acting like he's not responsible for his actions. 😬

It kind of seems like he’s just in his own little world where everything revolves around him; maybe he enjoys the attention even if it’s negative. My younger cousin used to be similar (always pulling stunts and ignoring advice) and honestly, it took some serious life lessons before he realized the impact of his actions. But at 13, sometimes they're just testing boundaries without thinking about consequences... Maybe once he faces real-world repercussions more often, he’ll start to care a bit more? It's tough being stuck in the middle of it all...

Ugh, that sounds so rough to deal with right now 😵‍💫 I remember having similar issues with my younger sis who always thought she was invincible and nothing could touch her; She once skipped school to hang out with friends and gave us all a major scare too, but eventually, she started learning from some of the drama she caused. It's tough being the older sibling trying to show them the way when they just won't listen 🙄 Maybe in time, he'll realize not everything's about him and learn some responsibility; until then, hang in there!

You know, adolescence is marked by a quest for identity and autonomy, often leading to behavior that appears "incongruous" or "inconsiderate" (to stay polite)... however, this stage lays the foundation for individual maturation and social cognition!

Ah, I feel your pain! 😩 It can be exasperating dealing with siblings who seem to live in their own little bubble of invincibility and self-centeredness. It's like he's starring in his own 'teen soap opera' where nothing is ever his fault!!! Perhaps he feels the world revolves around him because he's yet to hit those "aha" moments that life eventually throws at everyone?? Kids grow up at different paces, but it doesn’t mean he'll be like this forever; Hopefully, one day soon, he'll catch a glimpse of how his actions affect others and perhaps think twice before sending you all into a frenzy again 🙏 Keep being patient, though; your efforts might just sink in when he least expects it! 😉

Dealing with a younger sibling who's so indifferent to everyone else's feelings can be such a heavy burden! 😤 You're definitely in a tough spot there... Your brother seems to be navigating through some challenging adolescent behavior, where accountability is like an alien concept. 🤔 I remember at that age, my best friend acted pretty similarly, and it was frustrating beyond belief; eventually, though, some consequences hit hard enough that he started realizing the world didn't revolve around him. Your patience might just pay off eventually!

Mate, I totally feel your pain. He's at that age where everything seems like a game without any real consequences. 😒 But, sometimes it just takes them messing up big time for the light to finally switch on. I had a similar situation with my kid brother who once caused our whole family to panic because he disappeared without a word; turns out he was just goofing off with his friends too. Eventually, facing some strict consequences straightened him out a bit. Maybe once your brother gets himself into a jam he can't easily snake out of, he'll start pulling his head out of the clouds? Until then, hang tight and keep doing what you're doing—you'll be the one he looks up to when he's ready to change. 🤞

man, that sounds like a real pain to deal with 😅 having a younger brother who just won't listen can be super frustrating; i get it. sometimes it's like they're living in their own bubble and think they're untouchable or something, right? maybe he’s trying to assert some independence in the wrong way, and it just ends up rubbing everyone the wrong way 😩 but hey, as tough as it is now, he might surprise you someday by actually taking your advice or owning up to his actions.. just gotta give him time to figure things out on his own terms;

man, I feel you on this one; it's like you're living with a mini tornado who just doesn't understand the wreckage he leaves behind 😅 my younger brother used to pull similar stunts too, acting all clueless and then shrugging it off when things went south, and honestly, sometimes it took a wake-up call from someone outside the family to shake him out of his bubble 🙃 maybe once

sounds like your brother needs a real wake-up call before he keeps pushing boundaries and ends up in more trouble; maybe letting him face some real world consequences, like losing privileges or sitting out on stuff he loves, might chip away at that "main character" mentality and make him realize it's not all about him.

yeah... it's not uncommon for youth at your brother's age to adopt a "cavalier" attitude towards responsibility 🤪

honestly, it sounds like he's just got this huge 'invincible' complex going on right now; teenage boys can be real charmers with that "nothing bad can happen to me" mentality 🙄 but maybe try a different tack? instead of constantly getting into arguments or trying to guide him when he's not listening, what if you flipped the script a bit and let him face some minor consequences on his own without rushing in to save him every time? i've seen it work wonders with my nephew when he realized people weren't gonna bail him out all the time 😏 sometimes they only start getting their act together once real life bites them in the ass;

it sounds like your brother's actions are really testing everyone's patience; It might be worth considering that his behavior could stem from trying to carve out an identity or seek attention in a family dynamic where he feels he's constantly compared to you. i remember when my cousin was around that age, his rebellious streak was partly because he felt overshadowed by others' expectations. do you think it's possible he's acting this way for some deeper reason? maybe exploring what motivates him could be helpful in addressing these challenges;

sounds like you're dealing with a real piece of work, huh? 😒 honestly, some folks just have to learn the hard way; at 13, he's probably thinking the world revolves around him and consequences are just things that happen to other people. maybe it's time for your parents to shake things up a bit? little bro might benefit from a more structured approach where boundaries are set tighter and enforced consistently. going easy on him probably just fuels his main character syndrome. who knows, it might take something drastic for him to truly wake up and realize how his actions affect everyone around him; but hey, don't let his antics drag you down too much; keep doing your thing and focus on what you can control.

Oh man, I totally get where you're coming from! It sounds like your brother's got some serious growing up to do. 🤦‍♂️ Being 13 and thinking the world revolves around you is all too common, isn’t it? Maybe instead of directly confronting him, try sharing a personal story about when you were in trouble and what you learned. Sometimes hearing that stuff from a sibling who’s been through similar things can hit differently. 🗣️ And hey, give it time! teen years are a rollercoaster; he might shock you by turning into someone more considerate and responsible down the line.

wow, that's a tough spot you're in... but maybe expecting him to change overnight is wishful thinking??? you know how teenagers can be with that "in-one-ear-out-the-other" mentality. have you tried talking to him about what interests him first?? sometimes building a bridge on common ground helps get through the static. plus, being 13 can make anyone feel like they're pushing boundaries just because they can: it's all part of testing limits and figuring out one's place, even if it seems dumb now 😅 do you think there's room for some open convo where he doesn’t feel judged immediately???

it's rough when family dynamics get all twisted up like that, especially with siblings. it sounds like there's a lot of frustration and tension on both sides, but maybe looking at it from a slightly different angle could help. what if you tried to involve him in some fun activities together? sometimes just spending time without the pressure of giving advice or dealing consequences can open up new lines of communication. who knows, maybe he'll start seeing you more as an ally than someone just trying to tell him what to do 🤔 it's worth a shot!

sounds like you're navigating quite the storm with your brother 😅. it can be tough to see someone you care about dismissing efforts to help them, especially when it feels their actions could lead to bigger problems down the road. have you tried having a heart-to-heart with him outside of these tense situations? sometimes, taking a step back from the immediate issues and just chatting about life can open up some unexpected doors for understanding; i remember my buddy had a similar situation where his younger sibling only opened up once they felt they weren't being judged or lectured all the time. maybe finding some common ground could help bridge that gap and let him see you're in his corner, not just dishing out advice he might not want to hear right now 🤔
