Today, my parents found out that my younger brother has been smoking pot. As his punishment, he can't be home alone anymore. And apparently, I'm now his full-time babysitter since I "don't have a life anyway." FML

Hey, everyone! OP here. After this happened, my parents enforced the rule for barely a day before they realized how stupid it was and how impossible it is to enforce. My brother (who is 18, by the way) ended up finding loopholes in every punishment that they gave him afterwards, while I lived my life of freedom. Thanks for your advice, guys; I enjoyed reading your comments!

tell your parents you won't care if he smokes again then they will most likely find a different alternative to babysit him

Smoke together. Won't be so boring when you're home.

Just tell them you have other things to do and they should be the ones parenting not you.

That might work, or you might get smacked up side the head and told to smarten up. Family is a collective effort.

We'll if he's 18 and the younger brother, op doesn't really have to do shit

tell your parents you won't care if he smokes again then they will most likely find a different alternative to babysit him

#23 I don't get why OP is mad. he will be home most of the time, so there is no point of arguing. the little time he isn't home, his brother will most likely not smoke.

Or they'll punish OP for not doing what they're supposed to do.

So you wouldn't be mad if someone said you didn't have a life? Wow. I've never met someone as tolerant and forgiving as you. ?

Family can't live with them can't live without them:p but seriously though talk to your parents op it's not fair for you

yet my personal tormentors cant understand why i want to go to college on the other side of an ocean

You most certainly can live without them if you surround yourself with the right people. Family doesn't always = blood relatives. My friends are the best family I've ever had, my relatives on the other hand...they can suck a duck.

#32 do you have a specific duck in mind or just any duck will do?

Smoke together. Won't be so boring when you're home.

Then OP will probably end up with a babysitter for himself as well.

Maybe he'll share his stash, so you both can enjoy it instead of being miserable!

A free high sounds like a pretty good payment for babysitting.

Not if OP doesn't want to smoke weed? It's still not fair for their parents to assume OP doesn't have a life.

Eating high quality cannabis oil can cure cancer. Do they know that? :)

Great, then they'd just need to give their brother cancer.

I did not realize you could fit so much bullshit into a sentence

Since you're being volun-told to do so, they should at least pay you.

Guess you two can just get high together now.
