Venting, sorry guys.

Sorry guys but I need vent cause I'm about ready to kill my brother. It's been 3 days since my parents left and my brother can't even behave himself for one day. The only day I didn't get any crap from him was the day he stayed at a friends place. I'm seriously about to lose it. I worked my ass off cleaning this house Friday night (over 6 hrs and 30mins of cleaning) and Saturday morning while he sat at the computer and played his xbox 360. While he was at his friends, I done all my homework and there was tons of it. He comes home the next day and starts messing the house up, leaving his dishes all over the kitchen. Telling me its my job to clean up and all this crap (thought I'd keep out a few choice swear words used). Sighs. Then that night yelling and swearing at me because I asked him to feed Tinny and Sugar (the only thing my parents have asked him to do besides put the bins out on Wednesday night)... And now this morning, yelling and swearing at me every time I try to get him out of bed for school and to top it off, I go to the fridge to get stuff for my lunch cause I have school today... He's eaten all the grapes so that leaves me with a roll up and a muesli bar for the entire day... And this is only the beginning, my parents aren't back until Saturday night. So while I try to keep this house clean and feed him as well as do my homework and anything else that needs to be done, I get verbally abused several times a day and pretty much just have to sit there and take it.
And its about to happen again because he still isn't out of bed and its 8:10am.

Sighs. I'm sorry for this, I just really needed to vent.

Vent on Roz, how old is he? Is there any adult relation nearby that can help you here - an aunt or someone that your brother will listen too?

He's 15 :/ theres no point in going to anyone. He'll just be nice til they leave. Most of the time I just stay in my room or don't say anything... Doesn't matter aye

Got a video camera you can use? When you're about to ask him to feed the dogs or pick up after himself, turn it on and preserve the moment.

hhahaha yeah, i wish i caught some moments of my childhood on camera....just as proof to mom! not to laugh at your situation, i know about jerk brothers who think they are god.......so incredibly aggravating.

I like the camera idea.... you probably can use you cell phone camera if you need to.

I could but again theres no point. He'll get away with it anyway. He always does. I'm the one who usually gets into trouble for it because "I'm older and should know better".

If I were you, I'd kick his ass. However, that's probably not an option haha. All I can say is make sure you keep doing what you were responsible to do, if he's not going to pull his weight and do the chores your parents asked him to do, then let him not. When your parents get back and see that what you were supposed to do is done right they'll realize what went on. I mean, your parents have known you two for as long as you've been alive, I assure you they understand the dynamic between you and your brother, especially if he's got an attitude problem.
It'll work out. Hang tough!

I would take all the stuff he takes out and uses and leaves ie: dishes, clothes, etc and put them all into one pile, then when your parents come home, show them what he did.

I have other ideas, but I don't think they are appropriate for this forum ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh Roz, I sympathise with you, I have a younger brother and I used to get that off my parents all the time too................along with "set an example for your younger brother" and other inane comments........I wouldn't have minded if it made any difference, but my brother was so naughty, and like you, I always had to cop the blame for everything too.
