My little brother and I are 13.5 years apart. It is just us two, my parents had a hard time conceiving after me so my little brother was a bit of a surprise. I am 21 and he is 8. Even though we have a huge age gap we fight. I know it sounds ridiculous, but my brother is a handful. He does not listen and is very disrespectful towards me. He will hit and call me names and I never see my parents do anything to back me up. I do not discipline him because he is not my child. They think because I am the adult I should know how to handle the situation, without losing my cool. I understand that, but at the same time, shouldn't my parents teach my little brother to respect me?
I am 35 weeks pregnant with my second child and I am married, we own our own home so I have my own life and family. I do not feel like it is my responsibility to make sure my brother respects me.
Any advice?
