All this bullshit you're doing now is really just a mask for abuse. You're abusing your little brother and he is going to hate you for the rest of your life for it.

You are hitting the 14 year and you think that's going to get you the results you want? You are in the wrong.

Ok deep breath.

Amazon prime the book: How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk. There is also a teen version.

I think your parents pick their battles and extend him more grace than you and your not yet developed brain are able to do.

You resent him and you resent your parents, so every small mistake he makes is amplified in your mind as a slight against you.

What may be worse is that this is how you're going to treat your own children because it is becoming a default response when you're mad.

So instead of punishing him, ask yourself how you would want to be spoken to. See if you can agree that to stop with punishing if he will try his best to remember rules and pick up after himself.

Think of him as a roommate and some little shit you hate and have to whip into shape because you're parents spoil him.

And what kind of crazy ass parents leave their 17 to look after a 14 yo for a summer.
