Today, I had to take my little brother to the pool. He acted like a brat the whole time, and when I told him we were leaving, he ran away, slipped, and hit his face on the tile floor. He told my dad and step-mom I punched him. They believed him, and I'm grounded for two months. FML

Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML

Today, I got grounded for 2 weeks for slapping my brother after he threw a baseball at my head and hit my shin with a bat. He’s in 9th grade and I'm in 8th. He got ice cream to "cheer him up". FML

Today, I got punched in the face after I beat my stepbrother at Mario Kart. I didn't really get hurt, but he managed to break a finger. My stepmom blamed the whole thing on me, accusing me of being violent and a bad influence on her son. FML

Today, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. FML

Today, I was asked to take care of my 3 year-old little brother. After 15 minutes of him screaming and me trying to keep him entertained, he started throwing his toy cars at me. He hit me in the mouth, and I started to bleed. My parents yelled at me for "not controlling him." FML

Today, my 5-year-old cousin came over. We were on the trampoline in my backyard when he fell off and started crying and screaming. While I was trying to comfort him, my mom came out yelling at me for "pushing him off the trampoline" and grounded me for a month. FML

Today, I was at the pool with two boys I babysit. The eldest wouldn't get out of the pool so I pretended to call his dad. He then ran out of the pool, pushed me down, grabbed my phone, chucked it into the pool and then ran back into the pool. FML

Today, I was at the mall with my little brother. I saw him touching some expensive objects, so I slapped his arm. I noticed he wasn't my brother when he started crying and his real mom slapped me in the face. FML

Today, I went to pick up my little brother from his friend's house. When I got there, he ran off screaming that he didn't know me. His friend's parents believed him. FML

Today, I rescued a little boy who looked like he was drowning in a public pool. His mother then smacked me in the face for "touching him". FML

So much for doing something nice.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that, OP. It's not your responsibility to parent him. And it sounds like your parents aren't very dedicated to the task either.

I got grounded for shoving my sibling once why because she stabbed me with a steak knife and even with the knife still stuck in me I got the blame. Personally I would punch the little brat every day until he told the truth and let him know that you are going to punch him until the truth comes out. It is the only way to stop him from doing it as he has learned that he will get away with it.

Wait,...what?!? Your family sounds lovely! Get rid of the steak knives (and preferably not into your sibling!)

punch the kid, he needs discipline! It could get worse when he gets away with naughty things!

There has to be a reason they believe him over you. Have you lied to them before? The only rational reason that parents would believe the younger sibling is if only one of you hasn't given them a reason to disbelieve you.

Yeah the reason being OPs younger brother is a little brat who probs acts like an angel in front of their parents, so the parents can't possibly believe their little angel could lie and say something like that just to get his older sister in trouble.

Keyword: "rational" Besides, the parents obviously trusted the older sibling to take the kid to a pool alone. Which at least says they don't automatically think he's untrustworthy. It's always been my observation that parents think their young children are infallible and thus incapable of being deceptive. I don't necessarily disagree with you, Doc, but I think you may be giving them a bit too much credit in this case.

I'm not giving the parents any credit. I'm suggesting either OP has lied to her parents before or that the little brother is a great actor.

The joys of being an older sibling. I would've punched him for real

I would record a conversation without his knowledge tell him he's a shit for lying and acting like a teat. He won't be able to resit rubbing it in. Then you play it to your parents. Your off the hook and he's grounded for 4 months.

That's when you start being all passive-aggressive about it. Also, stay mad about it for years and bring it up all the time. They'll feel bad about it (eventually), and you win in the long run.

I would have punched him, I don't have the patience you have OP :). Young siblings are often seen as little angels by their parents. The kid needs to be disciplined and if your parents won't do it, these kind of things will happen again.

Sorry OP, but being the eldest sibling or middle child sucks. I would get blamed for everything growing up. But when my sister would pull that crap I'd out her in her place when the coast was clear. Take your revenge on him. If he's a lot younger mess with his stuff like scratch yourself with his toothbrush.
