He's only three years younger than me, but he has gotten away with a lot more. Once I was out of the house my Mom didn't want to deal with it from my brother so she would just give in. It annoys the shit out of me. If I am there then she stands up though. It is the SAME thing with my brother and I. He’s only three years younger than me, but he has gotten away with a lot more.

Hell, even when I was a kid his age and I had my nintendo and spent a lot of time playing it, every day after school I'd still spend 3 or 4 hours playing around outside with my brothers before coming in to play around for the remainder of the night. This kid's got some serious problems, and it'll only get worse as he gets older unless something really clicks in him.

Because that's not going to fly with the rest of the world the throwing and breaking and yelling. Kudos to Jen and Dan. I would have took the games and gave them and sold them online, because bad behavior gets you no where. If he wanted another one he would have had to work it off, including the things he broke during the little temper tantrum. :love: Has your mom always been a push over?

It is so annoying, but I can't step in or speak my mind about the situation because I tried that once and nearly got disowned. I know someone who parents a lot like your mom.
