"She's your sister you might not have to like her, but you will love her and treat her with respect as I expect her to do to you as well. It doesn't matter if she breaks your toys if she's annoying she's five years old. You're five years older than her. It doesn't matter if there's a disconnect as the Older Brother has to be more mature and understand that she can't think like you because she isn't you. "
"Mom, it no longer matters to me if you want me to get along with her or if you want me to talk to her nicely, I can't do that anymore. This is the fifth time that I told her not to go into my room not to touch my things and not to break anything and she has done it again again and again And has done nothing about it and this is what she does. She comes into my room. She comes into my space and she breaks the things that belong to me and when I tell her to don't come in my room, I say apologize all she says is that she doesn't care she's gonna tell Mom and Dad that I'm being mean to her. All the time you're older, you have to be nice. You have to treat her right you have to share your things, but she doesn't have to do anything." He said with great frustration as he passed the floor of his room. Running his hands through his hair and roughly shaking his head. He couldn't stay in this house any longer with his sister and parents against him.
"You constantly tell me that I have to mature and I have to be older because I'm older but she doesn't have to do anything. She breaks my things. I was building this with (Dad) for the past 3 1/2 weeks. It was for my project that's due tomorrow and what did she do she grabbed it. She threw it off the balcony and said it didn't fly Because I don't know how to build things correctly. Instead of telling her that she shouldn't have done it, you come to me and you say I'm wrong for hitting her. I don't live here anymore. I don't wanna live here anymore. I'm going to grandmas. " He told him with a straight face and calm voice. Unfixing for a 10-year-old but he was much different than others his age after his parents had his demon of a little sister. If she didn't break his things she colored in his textbooks, if she didn't ruin his homework she flushed his computer down the toilet, if she didn't break his phone by stomping on it because she was too young to have one she was throwing all his shoes outside in the rain.
"You're 10 years old you can't make this kind of decision yourself you cannot move out and you have to apologize to your sister. Yes, she was wrong. I will talk to her about it, but you're older and more mature. You cannot just hit people and lash out when they do things you don't want." His mother was so taken aback seeing her kind and sweet son lash out like that. It wasn't something she was used to. His father and her husband of 12 years didn't even yell in the house let alone at the kids. He was just upset and she could see that she just wanted her children to get along.
"I don't care I'm tired. I tell her to stop all the time and she doesn't listen and then you yell at me and then I'm wrong. I don't wanna live here anymore and I don't care." He sounded so sure of his deposition that it scared her. He had never spoken like this before and after the fight she walked into between her two children, she wanted this to end. Today.
"If you don't apologize to your sister, you can't leave your room and you're grounded. You won't leave your room for anything you won't be able to hang out with your friends and it doesn't matter. I'll call your teacher and explain what happened and we'll see about your grade tomorrow, but other than that, I don't want you out of your room unless You come out to apologize. "
He goes into his room and slams the door. He doesn't say a word after she can hear the lock turn and the TV turn on the size because even though he is grounded, she doesn't try to open the door and take the remote from him. She walks away and goes to where her daughter is crying sitting with her husband in the living room, her daughter still holding her hand over her tears flying down her face and her husband, moving it saying that the little bump that was on her head earlier turned into a big swollen bruise covering her eyes that is now turning a deep purple shade. She indicates to her husband with a point of her eye that they should meet in the kitchen. Her husband smiled sweetly at her daughter and told her to hold the ice pack that he had in his hand to her head and that he would be right back.
"I can't do this anymore. I've never seen him so violent and he's usually such a nice and sweet kid. I can't. I can't make this up. I've never seen them like this before and he said he wants to go to grandma's. He wants to go to your house and live with her because he can't take it anymore, I think this is a great time to tell him -" she breaks off her sentence with a sigh. Shaking her head as she remembers the scene of her son on top of their daughter a book rises in both his hands. She stopped him before he could bring the book down on her daughter's head but it scared her.
"I understand I don't wanna get mad at our children either, but this behavior can't continue. I mean I used to hit my brothers up all the time but we were boys. It's different from you and your sister all the time. Let's let him go to my mom's house and cool off." She looks at her sweet and mild-mannered husband. He didn't see their children almost kill each other today like she did.
"No, if we separate them, it's just gonna make it worse and they're gonna grow up hating each other. Have we been spoiling her is that a bad thing maybe that's what it is. I'm getting so emotional. I didn't mean to yell at him like that but-" She never thought she would become one of those mothers who tries to put one child against the other.
"No, no baby don't blame yourself. Please don't do it. You're emotional and you don't need to be stressed right now. If we let him go to (Mom)'s house, he can cool down and he can realize that he doesn't mean that he wants to live there all the time just ask my mom if he can stay there for a week or so check on him and let him apologize." Her husband rubs her back to soothe her. Giving her a kiss on the forehead to try and calm her down.
"No, he has to apologize." She exclaimed as she shot up out of the chair. "Our baby girl is sitting there on the couch with a black eye. She's 5! 5-year-old doesn't need black eyes! I can't believe this is happening. I never thought in 1 million years that we would be the parents that have kids that don't get along even though I fought with my sister plenty of times it was never to the point where I gave her a black eye!" She refused to have anyone violent living in her house, whether it be her child or her husband. If he wasn't ready to apologize, then he would just sit in his room until he would.
"Baby, please calm down. I know you're upset but you're raising your voice and the doctor said you don't need to be stressed out right now OK? Please sit down in the living room with baby girl okay? I'll Explain to my mother what happened and she can come pick him up and I'll let him know that he can stay with grandma OK?" He husband gave her a big smile and sat her down in the chair again. He poured her a glass of water from the fridge and rubbed her back again.
"OK," She sighed listening to her man. "hopefully, this gets better. I don't know. I don't know what we're gonna do or not. I feel like I'm a bad mother." He pulls her close and gives her the biggest strongest hug that she ever felt in my life.
"Don't say that you're the best mother I've ever seen OK ?" he kisses her cheek. "I love you. We're gonna get through this."
They did not get through it.
The day their son left the house to be with his grandmother. He never came back. He stayed there until his 18th birthday and he went to college 3000 miles away he now only calls his mother and father on holidays to wish them happy birthday. but ever since that day, he never spoke to his little sister again nor did he forgive her, She still thinks that her older brother was in fair and threatened to call the cops on him every time their parents brought him up, and she still thinks that her brothers blame for everything that happened after he moved out as well. Her mother and father were depressed in the house every day because their son left and did not want to return home. Not even after his little brother was born after his mother gave birth to their last and final child, a boy, he still didn't want anything to do with his little siblings. As soon as their little brother grew up he was seen on America's Most Wanted before the age of 22 on a space episode titled America's youngest psychopaths.
