General Advice
Quote From: hitokiriOkay, here is the problem.
I am the oldest of five. My siblings range in ages of 12 -- 16. There are two 13 year olds as well. Anyway.
My brother has this thing of yelling at Mom (she handles it well, this is more about me). His tone makes me hurt because I love my Mom very much. She's helped me through a lot of crap this past year because I was going to get married. Anyway, as the oldest, I am not sure what I should do. I usually stay out of it but it makes me so mad and there isn't anything I can do.
I'll tell him to shut up with that tone and not to talk to her like that, but then he just tells me to shut up.
I am seriously thinking about calling the police the next time he takes this tone with Mom.
Does anyone have any suggestions for and oldest daughter who has no clue what she should do? It must be awful to have to listen to your brother screaming at your mum over and over again. But I think you should sit down with your mum and discuss this with her, seeing your siblings are between 12 and 16 it would mean your 16 or older. You're old and wise (I think, probably you wouldn't have posted if you weren't) to talk to your mum like grownups,. tell her your worries and listen to what she thinks of it. Than decide what you are going to do about it. And don't forget, your brother is a réal teen, you don't tell how old he is, but I'm guessing around 14, it's normal to be rebelling against your parents around that age, it's just a part of growing up. Maybe you were an easy teen, so you just don't recognise it. So I really don't think it's a disaster, unless ofcourse he is tearing you family and mother apart (Emotionally).
