My home situation
Hello doctors . I want to talk about my little brother and how it's becoming more and more of a challenge to raise him . I am just 17 and my family is very dysfunctional . And it has reached a point that it made me want to rather kill myself and escape than stay at home . Anyways , so I decide to raise my siblings and act as the parent because my parents don't do their job . They hit and scream at my siblings without proper management . My brother doesn't listen to me , he yells and screams , he behaves sometimes but he acts very wild the next minute . I tried to take away his iPad and make him watch child-friendly videos but it still isn't working . I am tired and sometimes I feel I can't do this all by my self . I should always say " stop" I tried so many times to talk to him but it doesn't work he keeps swearing at acting like a baby when he is 9 years old . I am not the parent so I can't take this responsibility anymore . What do you think I should do?

Hello I am happy to see that you are willing to take care of your sibling. Remember parenting is not a cake walk. First stop bulldozing your brother. Develop a rapport with him and make him understand that it’s only you who to whom he can fall back in time of need . As you said you are not mother of him but as you have mentioned you want to be mother to him. NO don’t be a mother to him . Be his sister only but Be a guide friend philosopher to him. As teenagers what you did at 9 make him him do . Play games with him . Take part in his activities. Simultaneously don’t ignore yourself. You got life ahead. Leave your parents to themselves. Generate a hobby or yourself see which subject you are best in or learn a music. And become a tutor for neighbors children or teach basics to other small children and start earning and getting your mind diverted from home situation. Remember stick and carrot policy. Love him as your brother not as your son.. that time will come later. Guide him as sister and a friend. Don’t over correct him . Understand his capabilities and his talents. And promote them. Take help of his school teachers but again as a sister not mother.
