How Do I Handle A Stubborn Brother by Nobody: 8:13pm On May 31, 2023
Pls how do i deal with my junior brother?

I'm 19 yrs old and he is 17
He is very spoilt and stubborn
I just finished having a confrontation with him because i locked the window in our room cus the breeze entrying was much and it was making the cotton to fall.

He came in the room where i was reading and started shouting that the room is smelling calling me insultive name like olorun,obun room that isn'tsmelling at all.a new room.

When my mom intervened he starts saying she's always supporting me which he always says..

He thinks he can fight me but i don't just want to destroy that his mouth that is running like tap so i had to control my temper because he is a slim person and I'm more muscular.

Imagine when he had a surgery my mom spent over 120k on the surgery yet he still has the balls to talk any how to her.

Pls how do we bring him to order
Note: Our dad is late

Thanks much

Have you beaten him before?

You need teach him a lesson he will never forget. That’s the way you can create limits and set boundaries.

Take him to a field where no one can separate you, and beat him VERY well. I mean very well. If you can afford boxing gloves, get two pairs for both of you.

If he insist, beat him till he raises up his hands. Make sure you do until you are tired, and make sure he does not run away. I will suggest upstairs of an uncompleted building cos he might want to flee.

Come back and thank me.

For the sake of your mum, do not fight (beat up) your younger brother. Please o!
She might not be able to bear her sons fighting.

Have and keep having patience with him, I believe he'll change eventually.
Whenever he starts to act all aggressive and stubborn, talk to him in a calmer tone.
Tell him not to talk back at your mum also.

I'm guessing your mom is the type that dosent like you beating your younger one because he is a last born...if your mom allowed you to be beating him he wouldn't grow up spoilt...hes I'll advice you to beat him while he is still young hes only 17...he has enough time to still mature

My dear you dont understand boys. Unlike girls, boys actually need physical beatings to reset their brains..mothers may not like it but beating does wonders to a boy

Well I've given my own advice..sorry that your dad passed on..he would have better handled your brother but he must learn when one or the other...because if he gets to the university and further on in life with this attitude who knows..he may get into trouble especially with cultists that's a story for another day I just hope he dosent learn the hard way

Have you not talked before?

You already know it won't work. Why are you hesitant in beating him?

I don go.

What if OP takes younger bro to the uncompleted building…


Where he can’t get away. With the boxing gloves. Hoping to beat him blue- black.

And then unfortunately the table turns. And younger bro beats OP silly instead.

Meanwhile no one to separate them. So he beats OP till he gets tired?

What if….? If you Dey think back also reason front.

Meanwhile OP… you are the elder of the two. It is what it is.

You just have to be the more mature… play the bigger bro part.

It’s a good thing your mom supports you.

Violence won’t solve anything… I don’t know the nature of his operation but what if something goes wrong in the process of you both slugging it out.

Be the bigger man and ignore your younger bro.

Youthful exuberance at play. He will out grow it with time!

Do get an uncle of yours who is assertive to come to the house and talk to both of you and your mum, help draw and encourage boundaries as there is need for behavioural modifications to be maintained as your younger brother shouldn't be enabled to continue that pathway.......las, las na outsiders go beat am up.

If you take him to a field to beat him and the story ends up like that of Cain and Abel, will the commentor take responsibility?

So, beating him may not be the way forward…

Re: How Do I Handle A Stubborn Brother by oluwaseyi0: 12:37pm On Jun 01, 2023

unpopular opinion here

take things very very easy, you guys are more or less twins

17 and 19 are same age range

it's not like you senior him with 10years or you can pay his school fees or feed him

you probaly have friends his age, and he probably has friend your age who don't boss him around like you are desperate to do

I'm 3 years older than my best friend and I don't see myself way older than him, we are even classmate in higher institution

drink cold water and always talk things out with your homie, try to understand his view and let him understand yours

let him understand he will sometime need to compromise just like you will also need to compromise

don't mind all those shouting beat him as if he is you 6years own brother are just setting you up for more adversaries

Everything you said there should be blamed on your parents so don't disturb yourself with frivolities. The best you can do is to advise him one last time man to man then look for a way to improve your life. Get into school or finish with school, learn skills that will put a steady income in your pockets and account then look for a way to leave that house. Carry your cross, your brother should carry his own cross while your parents carry their own. Whenever he comes visiting your place, you can impose and enforce your own laws
