Hello everyone!

I have a question ...

Am I wrong for not wanting to buy my little brother food? I know it sounds wrong but here's my problem. My little brother is 12 years old. And he is very rude! He will curse you out!!!!! He doesn't listen and he slams doors, he also will scream @ you! I told him 1 night to go take a shower because school is in the morning he screams no, and I say fine don't shower, go to school smelling bad. He than says F*** you B*****!!! I don't say anything because he's not my child, im 20 years old. And I go to school but my mom works at night. I tell her about his nasty disrespectful ways And his mouth, she says she will talk to him but she never does because he's rude to me with her around us. He will say I need to move out and get a man while im cleaning up. And she will say hush! That's it. But when I go out I Don't mind buying food for the house, But I will Not buy him a damn thing! Im not going to by someone else disrespectful child any food! If im am than Idk?! He loves junk food, pizza, Burger king, Wendy's ect! But I wont buy him nothing only my mom because no child Should curse at ppl. That's very mean. Plus I can't move out until im done with school, I wish I was done right now!!!!!!!! But when I do move out she will have no one to watch him And I REFUSE to have that evil boy around me in place cursing me out. She works 7pm till 7 am.... but do u guys think im wrong?

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

We have the same father, but he's ummmm never around ( dead beat) He gives money every 3/4 months. He don't even live with us... But money is not a problem, its just his mouth. My mom does take care of us very well I just don't like being around that evil boy. And when he say things like that I do sometimes yell back and he will shut up! Sometimes!!! But I never hit him, I Really feel that's not my place to do so. I talked to my dad and he shouldn't talk like that to me but he still does. My mom talks to him but its like she doesn't understand or Don't want too..

tennisstar88 agony auntNO! He's 12 and fully capable of making himself a sandwich. There's no need to reward him when he acts like that.

Where's the boy's father? He thinks he's the man of the house.

I echo Honeypie in talking to your mother about this again. She NEEDS to address his behavior and discipline him. It's her son so she has to take responsibility.

Honeypie agony auntNo I would reward the little brat either, I would however sit your mother down and tell her that she NEEDS to do something about this. HE is NOT your child that is right, but if he is 12, YOU are the one he is around the most. You mom rely on you to help raise him, whehter that is unfair in your book or not. You mom, I bet work hard to provide for the family and is tired when she comes off work, I get that, but there should be no excuse to not sit his little bum down and talk to him.

Now when he is rude to you, what do you do in return ? Do you yell, curse, threaten?

You and your mom need to be on the same page with how you "discipline" him. And if he doesn't want to shower, say OK and let it go.
