(This is not Pit-worthy. I am just annoyed and irritated.)
I don’t get it. My parents always “discipline” me. They yell at me whenever they get mad at me. But, with my brother (he’s younger by two and a half years), they don’t do anything. They might talk to him sternly and unless he really pushes them over the edge, that’s all they do. But, my parents yell at me every single time. Whenever my brother’s constant complaining annoys my mother, she just glares at him. I don’t know why she doesn’t yell at him or something because I sure as hell feel like yelling at him whenever he starts complaining. He gets mad for the stupidest reasons (example: he got mad at my mom when we went on our trip to the Maritimes a couple of times whenever she tried to take our picture somewhere. She kept moving around to get both of us in the picture and my brother got annoyed at her. He was all, “Mom, stop it!!” and my poor but clueless mother said, “What?!”). He always gets mad at my mother when things don’t go his way. If we’re on a trip somewhere and it’s taking too late, he gets mad at her. If he’s hungry and he doesn’t food fast enough, he gets mad at my mom. It’s all my parents’ fault. When he was a kid, they let him get whatever he wanted. They do it even now. He buys a lot of stuff with his own money, but they let him buy nonetheless. :rolleyes: I try to set an example for him. I really do. I do everything I’m supposed when I’m supposed (well, most of the time, at least), but how come he doesn’t do the same?
And why does my brother insist on staying up until one o’clock in the morning talking to his best friend on the phone? My parents always go up to bed earlier than him and they tell him not to stay up too late, but he always stays up late. This is usually between 10:30 and 11. I mean, my parents tell me they don’t want me calling my friends after 10 (I understand that), but they don’t tell that to my brother. And I usually go up to bed when my parents go up to bed. But, my brother’s on the phone with his friend and he’s so damn loud. I don’t mind if he’s on the computer playing Counter-Strike as long he’s quiet. So, I tell him. And what about his friend? Aren’t his parents asleep by now? Why is he still on the phone with my brother?! If I say, “Bro, get your ass up here now!”, my brother gets annoyed and snaps, “Okay! Jeeeezsus, I’m coming! Just go back to sleep!” Well, he spends another half an hour down there and when I tell him to come back upstairs again, he gets even more pissed! God. I feel like slapping him.
Last night, that happened again and he only got up when my father came downstairs to get a glass of water and told my brother to go to bed. :rolleyes: Can’t they do that when they go up to bed?!
There’s a whole other stuff that my brother does that annoys me to death and makes me want to slap him, but whatever. Oh, it feels so good to complain. I don’t complain out loud, but this feels just as good.
So…got any other majorly pissy family annoyances of your own?
