Family Problems advice.?

Im 18 and am the youngest of my 3 older brothers. We all live by our selves in the same house and had a family meeting today. My brother who is 19 seemed to disagree and go against everything that was said. He seems like he wants to distance himself from the rest of us, like he doesn't like us and making up stupid excuses to get out of things. This is like the first time we had a family meeting and my oldest brother who is 26 designed this to bring us closer together cause we aren't as close as brothers as you would think. We wanted to have dinner on Monday nights as a family but my brother who is 19 made up the excuse that he can't cause he has work and what not but i know he can get Mondays off but doesn't want to. Any ways the main point is after this meeting we got in an argument and it was left at ';you're a lil ***** you always are'; which is all he ever says at me what is wrong with him? Did I do anything to deserve this why doesn't he want to get closer to us brothers?Family Problems advice.?
Family issues abound and it is normal for siblings to have their differences. Whatever one chooses ultimately would have consequences one way or the other, only in different levels. Your older brother might have some personal issues that he hasn't resolved and it might be a defensive mechanism on his part to take it out on you. I know it is not fair. (Life is never fair anyway!) I'm the youngest myself and I have had a lot of rift rafts with my only oldest sister. One question you have to answer is: if any of you is the favorite of your parents? Usually between siblings, parents would normally have their favorites, so it is usual for some siblings to react this way out of envy and pride for themselves. Some, because of self-pity. It is upto you to be more understanding and open-minded (difficult, I know) the same way I was in my family. Your brother is detaching himself from your family because he might have felt unimportant or not loved by your parents or because of personal issues unknown to you, or he just enjoys his independence. Whatever his actions are, is a reflection of what he is feeling about your family or a result of his problems. This is for you to find out so you can understand his erratic behavior. Also, you can give him some time and space for him to figure out what he ';really'; wants in his life and time to resolve whatever issues he has. Most importantly, try to know if he has some serious personal problems that could even lead to suicide (worst case scenario). Just respect whatever he decides on even if it's negative. If you can't convince him otherwise, life will find a way for him to come to terms with the reality that he is shying away from. Whatever he chooses or however he reacts, just be there for him especially when he needs your support the most while making him feel that he is in control of his life. Try to have a heart-to-heart talk with him to help him with his issues, if he chooses not to, then let him be. Just trust your instincts.Family Problems advice.?
i think you're brother needs grow up a bit and get over himself. All you can do is walk away and not get involved in his arguments as it seems that he's not being very reasonable. you and your other brother should do your third of the housework and then leave the rest for him. maybe that will make him see that he doesn't do all that he thinks he does.
Wow!
He's all talk and he wouldn't dare move out. He's too scared to live on his own.
your 19 year old brother might have a commitment somewhere so he is a bit stressed, take it easy on him he might need your support! or rather try to reach out to him by asking him what is wrong.
Your Brother has issues, you can either choose to ignore him and move on with your life, -OR- try to find the reasons behind his bad behavior and try and help him deal. If you even think for a second, that he might actually want help...then maybe you should try but otherwise you need to move on with your life. it is a sucky situation to be in and i am sorry you have to deal. good luck to you and your brother. i also hope your family will be there to help and support your decision.
