Why is my little brother allowed to do much more than me, or is he taking everything away from me?

I'm 17 years old, my little brother is 10 and yes I know I should be old enough and not treat myself unfairly and keep feeling that way, but yes…

I feel like my brother is allowed a lot more than I was allowed to do back then. I had to Until I was 14 on my winter ski vacation, my brother was not there for the first time. I had no own computer until 14, etc., my brother has his own PlayStation. When I was 10, I had to go to bed at school at 8:30 pm at the latest. My brother can easily stay up to 10 times.

My brother is taking things from me. That's actually my biggest problem. I've been watching TV with my dad ever since I was 13. We're both "fans" if you can call it that. Have visited in the summer and filming locations. And even if I do not do much else with my parents, this has always been our thing. Now my brother wants to watch and even if that sounds really stupid now. I do not see that at all. That's the last real thing I'm doing alone with my dad, so why'd he wanna see me now?

If I explain that to my parents, then they say I should not do that and it could not be my privilege. But I see it differently and think that I can at least once have a big sister privilege.

how do you see it? What can I do?

I have little brothers and know that well. That he wants to do something to you and your dad now is normal, so little brothers are just, they want to do everything you do and always want you to share. That he already has a Playstation with 10, is questionable. But nowadays children are always giving in as well. Especially when they are younger, they do not think about what you had when you were as active as he was, but what you have now, and if they are not the same as you are now, they are jealous. Talk to your father and say he should not come along for once, if only, little brothers are annoying, have 2 pieces, one is also 10. By the way I have aich big brother.

I'm also 17, nice evening yet

The problem is many siblings are older. The first own child is just something special, what you want to take special care that nothing happens, you are just more cautious, etc. The second child they are accordingly relaxed, because they have more experience.

I can understand what you mean by the series and what it means to you. Unfortunately, I do not know what you can do more than talk. Did you ask her if she took you and your wishes seriously? If children already express such feelings and thoughts to their parents, then they should take them seriously and heed them.

The adults always fight for the little ones, who then have it easier.

Sometimes parents with the second child no longer have the nerve to prevail, even if they consider something good and right.

But after all, you've learned how to ski and you've probably been more alert at school than your brother.

You do not have to take away anything. At the age of ten, your brother is smart enough to realize that. Close your things away, punish him with disrespect, etc., because you have options.

That you get your father-son-day is of course not so nice. Or maybe it can become something that helps you and your brother to understand you better.

And maybe you and your dad can think of something else, which then really only makes you two. I'm a mother and consider it very important that sons can do something alone with their dad. I always respected that with my boys.

All the best!
