Hey all! Yes I am back. While I was gone i got a 'will I be the AH if I' messages from some of you all as I asked, remember names are anonymous! If you'd like to be featured, send me a dm
1. Will I be the AH if I snitched on my brother?
For clear context I'm two years older than my brother and I'm about to finish school. I'm in my summer break now and my brother is attending school. A week ago, my brother accidentally broke the headphones (something similar to an airpods) case. I'd let it go but one of the earbuds doesn't work now. I kept it a secret from my parents as I didn't want my brother suffering from the consequences. I even co-shared it with my brother whenever he asked and never denied it when he wanted them.
The thing is, today my dad decided he would buy my brother a brand new pair of headphones. He was taking the blame until today. He pinned it all on me. A part of me is happy that he didn't experience the childhood I did and is much happy now (getting stuff before he could ask while I'm still denied it) but it was straight disrespectful to me what he'd done. I am not sure if I can talk to my parents, surely they'd punish me for not informing earlier and my brother is free.
Sometimes being older sucks man. Seeing that kid live the life i wanted both heals and destroys me.
Why should i be blamed for his mistakes? So I'm contemplating to reveal to my father who really broke it. My brother doesn't feel threatened and guilty one bit, of course the former is not my motive
