That's what I think my Dad may be afraid of. And my fvcking brother would probably call the cops too. :disgust:

Perfect opportunity to prove a point..

1. your pop lays him out,
2. your brother calls the cops,
3. the cops arrest your dad,
4. your brother is removed from "abusive" home,
5. your dad bails himself out,
6. your brother calls crying and apologizing because the group home he's been placed in is a far cry from the Ritz.
7. Pop explains the situation to judge, judge tosses case.

(in a perfect world) problem solved.

seriously though your dad (or you) need to do something, soon. Not out of anger or fear but out of care and concern for a kid that is heading down a bad road.

Would my Dad have criminal charges against him though? I don't think it would look good if a good job comes up and they see he punched his kid.

Your dad will get in trouble if he does it, so you're gonna have to do it for him. Kick his ass.

I didn't know your dad was out of work. i don't know how/if it would effect his ability to get work. it's sad that your brother is taking this opportunity to kick a man when he's down. It's up to you now cashman.

KICK HIS ASS SEABASS!

If my younger brother did that, the first thing I'd do is take him for a ride in a car for about a one or two hour chat. Then, you need to find out about his friends in more detail. How? Hang around with him by surprise on Friday's and Saturday's and also keep in touch with his teachers at school. Tell them you really want to help him and do all you can for him, hopefully they'll understand and update you on grades, his friends, etc.

Just remember, if you hurt him too much, then he is going to want to get back at you so don't give him a reason to go against you.

Also, this could soon lead to the same thing happening to your mom as well. If I were you, I'd begin spending more time with him every week and talk to him over the phone every few days.

What he did was very bad and disprespectful. Also, I don't know if this will help, but I'm in HS, I assume he is too, and our 2nd grading period just ended here of our 6 grading periods so you may want to see if that has something to do with.

I think before you beat him up, you talk to him for some time and only take action the next time. 99% of the people that won't work on. THe other option is to beat him up, but not very badly, and then talk with him.

DO NOT get a friend involved in this. It will make your brother even madder that you told a friend and that someone else will be helping to beat him up with you. DO NOT DO THAT!!!

Also, what kind of person is he? As in, does he try to act really cool at school with pants down to his knees and spiked hair, expensive clothing, etc.?

Take it easy on the kid, give him a good scare and a couple of humbling bitch slaps. What he needs to understand is that what he did was wrong, not a trip to the ER.

what are you waiting for? for him to start pushing your mom around?

He doesn't done anything to my mom, he just hates my Dad for some reason. My Dad's parenting is harsh, but you definitely learn and have respect for others. I love him for that, and I really realized what I got when I moved out.

i'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but how harsh could his parenting be if your brother has the stones to push him down (twice)? sounds like one of those bratty kids you see in the mall only ten years older.. I would not have DREAMED of putting a hand on my Father...not only out of fear but out of respect. He would have had to reestablish his dominance in the home immediately. The balance of power has shifted in your parents home. Your dad is going to have to whoop a$$ if he wants to make this right, period.

Yea, but I was raised the same way my brother was. That's what I don't understand; I know he was scared sh1tless of my Dad when we were younger and all of a sudden he thinks he is stronger than my Dad. My Dad will give it to him, he already filtered his ip out of the router plus took away his computer so he can't play on it. And I know he will sneak and steal it back yet he won't be able to play online. :p Yet he's had his computer taken away (the only thing that matters to him) he still does not learn his lesson.


lock him out of the house until he loses 20 lbs. from not gorging on your parents' free ride and is covered with scabs and chiggers.

agreed.

One more thing, I know this because I am an older brother, I'm 16 in January and he is 10 right now. It doesn't apply the same way, but the basic concept is the same. A few years back he did something and I was joking about it with my friends, he heard and got really sad, of course he was little so he just cried but the point is he won't like that and it won't really help the situation. I'm sure you and your dad together can handle him if needed.

One thing I highly reccomend doing now is spending more time with him and even if needed, stay over at your parent's home and spend one or two days with him every few weeks. Like fumbduck said, he'll thank you later, that is if he really wants to work towards his future. If he's failing his classes now and/or getting bad grades, you need to work harder with him, if he is successful, he will only thank you a few years from now. I know you can sacrifice two or three days a month for your brother's future, at least I know I can.

Man, your brother really needs to get his A$$ kicked. The thing that would hurt me the most (if I was your father) would be the fact that he would be taking advantage of my love for him. But I would get over that in 5 minutes and then proceed to open a very very big can of whoopass!

He was bragging to me that he got grounded until January because he wouldn't get off the phone. My Dad gets really upset with him when he doesn't listen so he grabbed the phone out of Michael's hands (my dumbfvck brother). My brother PUSHED my Dad over (my Dad is a pretty big guy) cause he did it! :Q AND THEN HE DID IT AGAIN!!!!!1 After that, my Dad walked out of the house. WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS KID?! And he was just laughing about it?! He's 16 years old btw.


My parents love us a lot, they have given us so much. I remember going through the 16 year old time but I NEVER EVER did something like this. He has no respect for my parents. I cannot believe this, I just wanna drive home right now and BEAT THE SH!T OUT OF HIS ASS. :|


I don't understand why he doesn't LISTEN. I cannot believe he would do this, this really hits the bottom of the barrel for the respect I have for him. He's a smart kid too. Ugh.......I just had to rant; sorry guys. :( :disgust:


go home and teach him some manners. . . . using your fists.

Well here's my update, something you guys probably didn't want:

I have been busy with school and work so I haven't had time to go home. I talked to my Dad and he took all of Michael's things that related to computers, EVERYTHING. :D He has nothing to do and he's begging to get his computer back. My Dad will not even budge at all for this, but I'm gonna really b!tch at him when I go home the next time. I'm glad my Dad did this, because he took away something that means so much to him....maybe he will get the hint that my parents are trying to teach him a lesson.

Sorry for not updating this, I didn't know there was gonna be so many replies to this. :frown:

I think the reason your brother's emotions have been out of control lately is because he is pregnant.

Really, wow. I always thought he had a mangina. :D


And GoodToGo, if I beat the crap out of him; that's just gonna make the situation worse. I'm just gonna stir this up again after its done. He's seeing his consequences now, it would be different if I went home the same day.

That might work with a 10 year old, but the 16 year old is going to get his ass kicked as far as Im concerned. Hell, Im on the fence about kicking my older brothers ass for being a prick to my mom. Let him think what he wants, let him think youre a bastard, and even though I think your dad should have been the one to beat his ass, it coming from the brother says even more. Let retribution be swift and hard. Under no circumstances should he ever even have the thought of hitting anyone in your family again for fear of the ass whooping that is going to be brought down upon him.

And do it yourself. He's your brother dammit. Bringing a friend into it makes it into a sort of spectacle for the fun of it. Doing it yourself is key.

kick his ass...its your duty as an older bro to keep your abusive teenage bro in line. I had to do it with my bro...though he hasn't come even close to being as bad as yours. No offense :)

I witnessed my bro yell at my dad to "leave him alone" when my dad affectionately asked him if he needed any help with his homework. Needless to say I jumped all over his ass right away for that one.

Teenagers just don't realize how they mistreat their parents...its up to the parents/siblings to regulate and keep them from going overboard.

When my younger brother was 14-17, or thereabouts, he was a massive prick to my folks. Never got violent, but would get into smart-ass yelling matches over the most little of things. We never got together when we were younger, because I hated his attititude.
Anyhow, now that he is 21 and a senior in college we get along great. He was just matured a bit late I suppose.

Anyhow, I wouldn't quite bet your brother's ass yet, but that would most definetly be the very last straw. If I was in your position, I would give him one last chance before the beating was incoming. It is better coming from you now then from some stranger later on down the road.
