Rude, disrespectful brother?
Okay, tonight my best friend and her boyfriend invited my husband, our daughters, and my younger brother out to dinner. My husband decided to stay hoe with our youngest but I still went with my oldest and younger brother. Everything was fine and dandy until we were halfway through our meal. My brother said "Oh yea Tiff, you are paying for this right?" This was after he lied and said my dad didn't give him 5 bucks to give me for picking him up from school today. This was after he ordered the most expensive thing on the menu. I am still very frustrated right now but I don't know who to say something to and I don't know what to say. I already told my brother that he would never go with me when I am invited out with friends again and that he is rude. He's 18 and lives with my dad still. Should I also say something to my dad? He's got me to the point where I don't even want him in my home because of the crap he tried teaching my three year old to say. I'm at my wits end.
My little brother is very rude and disrespectful to my mom. What can we do about this?
Unfortunately, if your mother is allowing it, there’s not much you can do to rectify the situation. Unless there is buy-in by at least your mom (and in a perfect world, your dad too), there may not be a real effective way to correct the behavior, especially if he’s learning it from his father, one of the most dominant influences in his life.It’s easier said than done, but perhaps opening the conversation up with your parents to start off with. They may hate the idea, or get defensive, or xyz reaction, but the idea is to let them know you’ve noticed the behavior and are not going to stand for it. From there, I’d say lead by example. It sounds like you may be the oldest (?); you can step in an be the example that he is not seeing from your parents. That way, when they see you correcting your siblings, or coaching them on better behavior, they’ll at least have some context. Whether they participate will be out of your hands, but stay positive regardless. Your brother is 8, and still very teachable! Don’t lose faith. Be firm in your corrections and consistent with your own actions, even over-exaggerate being thoughtful and polite and kind, etc., and praise him and show him you notice when he shows kindness and more gentle behaviors. It’ll be slow to start, but hopefully with enough reinforcement and consistency, you can enforce and influence all the younger siblings to treat each other better until it comes naturally for them to do so.
My brother's wife is disrespectful?
Im 19 and she's 31, she is rude and very disrespectful but my brother wont believe me. She acts nice infront of him but as soon as he leaves she's a *****. I try to avoid talking to her but she always find something to be rude about.
Disrespectful younger brother- what should I do?
Back off. You are not his parent. Just tell him that if he ever hurts your parents, you will make sure he goes to jail, and walk away. You need to get your own place, if this is getting to you this badly. Not all children are easy to handle, especially when they become teenagers. Your parents have to make up their mind to do something about this. If they don't he will end up in jail. There is not much you can do, because you are over 18 and he is considered a minor. Just let them do their job, and hope that he calms down when he gets a bit older. If he hurts you mother again, I would suggest that you call the police. You could suggest that your parents put him in counseling. Usually there is a free clinic in the area where he can get help and they can get parenting classes. He is almost grown, so I don't know if this will help, however.
Why is my Libra brother always so disrespectful and rude?
I think that the first thing would be to know how old he is and then I can make a suggestion. I'm a libra and i'm only disrespectful or rude to people who are that way with me. I admit that people are always intimidated by me so that helps the jerks back off. But my little sister is my best friend and we get along fine. The only thing i would say is that i can be sarcastic a lot. But it usually just makes my sister laugh. So, the only possible advice i can give is give him space or ask him if he has a problem. Because maybe he's transferring his anger for someone else on you.
My brother is SO disrespectful to my parents and has a really bad attitude?
You guys need to be nice to him. Seriously, if he says no, don't ask him again. Do it yourself. Sooner or later he'll start feeling guilty. You know, "they're so nice to me. I should do that too" And eventually, he'll become an ideal son and brother. It's a slow process but definitely works. As long as he stays drug-free and gets into a good college, your job is done well.
How do you deal with a totally disrespectful younger brother?
Disengage and do not speak to them until you believe you get the respect you deserve. Respect goes both ways Something to think about in your family dynamics in regards to your other siblings, parents, spouse. It took me years to realize the reason why I did not receive the respect I was seeking from my own children was that I was getting beaten down with disrespect from both my parents and my spouse for decades. When I realized my children’s reactions were just learned behaviors from how I allowed my parents and spouse to treat me. That was an aha moment and turning point in my life. Self reflection sometimes is critical in evaluating questions that you have the answers for without feeling victimized, as I was so often reminded….
How do you deal with rude and disrespectful younger siblings?
It all depends on where in life you stand at this moment. If you consider yourself mature then it's as easy as not giving in to her insults(or whatever she does).You must understand that people that hurt other people verbally are usually hurting on the inside or mad at life. Chances are she might be mad, sad, jealous or stressed out. Unfortunately there are people who vent their frustrations with others by being mean.As long as youre not paying attention to her disrespects she will start seeing that it has no power over you.The moment you give in she wins.Having said that dont repay her with same coin. Meaning do not act like her or disrespect her as well. She will just continue the cycle.
