We hardly ever argue, and when we do, he will come up to me within the next hour and start flicking me and stuff and we'll make up.He's just such a nice person to have around the house, and he will never fail to cheer me up. But then my Mum messes it up.Me and him were watching a film on my bed and anyway we were both tired so we both fell asleep next to each other.Well my mum didn't say anything to me, she just kept giving me funny looks all day. The next week we went for a family meal at my Grandad's. Then me and him were next to each other on a sofa. When my mum whispered to my uncle (not quietly enough) "I'm really worried about them, i went in her room the other day to find them both asleep in her bed.Last week me and him were just messing around playfighting etc (immature I know) and she comes in saying "what on eart are you two doing to each other".Its just little things like that and its really annoying and embarassing because thinking of him in that way makes me sick and its not as if we spend all our time together.What can i do to solve this problem? We already feel like we can't be seen anywhere near eachother. Reply to this Question

 Most parents would be delighted that their kids got along so well. For whatever reason, your mother's mind is in the gutter.
You are an adult. Have an adult conversation with her, and make it clear that you do not appreciate her remarks or her suspicions.

 You can try just confronting your mom and tell her how you feel and how she's making you feel. Otherwise, I wouldn't change the way you act around your brother. Sounds like you two have a great relationship and I don't see anything wrong with what you're doing.

Nothing seeded or sexual going on, its just nice to be close and having chats into the wee hours of the morning - i think your mum might just be worried because incest seems to be more common nowadays however if you explain to her that he's your brother and you will only ever see him as your brother, and being close to each other is purely innocent then she may be reassured. I love my bro and want to be close to him but anything else, well, i'd be running for the hills lol gross lol.
