did you just wake up today and become an ass or have you been one your whole life?

It's not something I would do, but if he treates his parents they way they're treating him, maybe they'll realize they're being jerks?

On the other hand I know a woman who handles insignificant, petty disagreements with her children by not talking to them for months. She's been doing this for years, and it's stupid. It's not just her kids she does it to - she worked for my parents for 25 years, and every once in a while she'd have some disagreement with my dad and "quit" and not talk to them for a couple of weeks, but she'd always come back. Then she finally quit for good over another stupid disagreement, and she didn't talk to them for months. I think it's a bad way to handle disagreements.

But I don't see any reason to call him an ass.

Brothers fight. Even when they are older. It's over. He apologized.

Exactly. No worries.

If that's assault, then some of the stuff that my cousins do to each other what my uncles did to each other would be considered attempted murder.

Siblings slap each other around. They've done that forever, and will continue to do it forever.

Sounds to me like the family has a ton of communication problems and that this was just a catalyst for their underlying feelings.

As i kind of expected there are some mixed opinions on what might be thougth of as assault. People need to keep in mind that we are brothers, we have no sisters, and we have been beating on eachother since we were first left unsupervised. Sometimes I would go home, and the 19 yr old (5'11' 210lbs) would push me into a wall, I would then jump up on his back and submit him with an armbar, or make him tap out. Me and the 21 year old (6'1" 180lbs) have each thrown eachother thru the drywall before. we were fvcking around in the hallway and then started trying to wrestle eachother to submission.

The point is that some of you people dont seem to understand that brother/brother interactions are much different from brother/sister or person/person interactions. I love my brothers, but i do not have a problem taking them down.

I rarely interact with the youngest (5'6" 140lbs) except when he is gettin on my nerves or he does something that he is not supposed to do.

BTW (I am 6' 165lbs)

sounds like you are a loser and your parents had enough of you, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. apologize and move out ASAP, and yes, this is assault and battery, if they call the cops on you, you WILL goto jail, and looks like they are willing to call too. without knowing the background info, I say something is very wrong with your relationship with your parents.

At some point parents need to realize that their children are no longer theirs to rule and control.

And don't spout "our house, our rules" sorta stuff...cuz the guy is almost 24.

It was best for him to move out. But the 2 are brothers and he didn't beat him up or something, and threatening to calll the police is totally unacceptable.

Wrestling != Punch in the Face

You don't punch someone unless you intend to injure them, especially not in the mouth.

You were trying to assert dominance on your bro, causing your parents to decide to assert their dominance over you.

Edit: You said in your op that you hit him because you were annoyed that he mocked you. Doesn't sound like playing around to me.

But it is their house, and the fact that he is 24 means he should'nt be living there. And if he is, he damned well better be doing what they ask of him.

So I could go to jail for slapping someone? Seems a little overboard, but w/e it doesnt matter. I think something is wrong with my relationship with my parents, and hopefully being away from them for awhile will turn out for the best.

Older brother here though has got be little easier with younger brother though. Man I can tell from the stupid posts, many here are not parents. As stupid as some of these posts sound, some of yall would have your 3 year olds locked for littering if they spilled a glass of milk. God talk about growing up, some of yall need to look in the mirror.

I agree entirely.. I mean.. damn.. brothers/sisters have been fighting for hundreds of years. Assault my ass... brothers fight.. Its evolutional. Hell... 15 years ago, when my brother and I wrestled around and fought, he hauled off and kicked me square in the nuts. Talk about hurting like a motherfvcker... We never ran to tell mommy or daddy.. We knew we were brothers, but of course, we never had a ghetto style brawl.

This assualt talk is just another example of the pussification of America and parents today... First it was using "Time Out".. now parents are threatening assault & battery charges on their children...

Please.. give me a fvcking break.

You didn't just put .5 in your age, did you? I think I stopped announcing my "half years" sometime around the age of 12 (and a half).

Then again... perhaps we're getting to the root of the problem.

I'm thinking the same thing. If you are still using halfs in your age, you are not a mature person. You being the older should know better than to hit someone where you'll leave evidence. Always hit in the gut, it doesn't bruise as easy.

I think the 'not going to church anymore' and 'snowboarding instead' is a pretty good hint that you are letting them know that you are not 'one of them' anymore. Their family culture != your personal lifestyle. And that's fine at your age. But what is not fine is for you to be attempting to dominate your younger brother, whether through 'teasing' or outright hitting.

Assuming he was messing with the 14 year old, it is a case of an adult attacking a child. I don't care if they are brothers!

Oh.. of course. Did the OP say which brother he "hit"? I may have missed it while reading the thread.

There is 8 years between my brother and me (granted I'm female and he's never hit me) but I have to say that at 14 he both outweighed me (I'm not exactly small) and was taller than me. Don't assume that at 14 he can't take on his brother.

I specialize in child development. A 14 year old may be the same size or larger than an adult, but is not neccessarily mentally or emotionally an adult. That is why it is wrong... the 'adult' in this case (or any case) should not be picking on/taking advantage of/teasing the one who has had less time to develop maturity.

What can i say, im an engineerd. To be a little more precise i am 23 7/12. Maybe its cuz I always use 3 sig figs. Or maybe you are right and you have read into my words and discovered the "root of my problem"

To be honest, I am not a writer. Everything im attempting to say i will say explicitly there is no reason to look past the words for hidden meanings.

 

[Genx87]

my mom said she would call the cops, and I was thinking to myself wtf, but i said to her "do it" then shes like "you DONT want me to go there.." and i said " I dont give a ******.." I wasnt yelling or anything, i was pretty calm

Does anybody else get a mental image of the kid from Austin Powers talking to his dad Dr Evil about the arcade?

I agree the maturity level may not be there but my point was physically he could handle himself. I don't think what the OP did was right but I also think the parents overreacted.
Brothers fight, it doesn't matter if they are 1 year apart or 10 years apart.

 

[slayer202]

you are a ****** JOKE. hopefully darwinism will take effect sooner than later

 

[Marinski]

If it was my annoying little brother, i would have whacked him too.

 

[foghorn67]

Dammit. From what I gather about ATOT members.
1-They all moved out on their 18th birthday.
2-They were financially independent on their 18th birthday, including making tution payments on their own.

I find that contradicting of geekness.

Thanks for all your support.

Im curious though how exactly will darwinism take effect? Am i going to slap my brother until he is extinct? Or if you are talking about the 4 of us, i dont think darwinism would have your desired effect. I am the oldest and by far the smartest of the 4 of us, i dont forsee my extinction. Maybe i will be kicked out of my home and become extinct. Im not sure i see where you are going with this.

I was waiting for someone to point this out.

LOL so many people in this thread throwing around insults they would dare not say to someones face. Love it.

Dont forget Arch, everyone on ATOT is perfect.
