Argh!

[SlyBoy]

My sister is a real pain in the arse. She yells "SHUT UP!" alot when I keep telling her things, she constantly argues with me over silly things like opening a pickle jar, and she constantly insults me and hits me alot of times. Can anyone help me out? I mean, she's only 11, so nothing too harsh!

[Majin_Megabyte]

I having kinda the same problem with my little sister, I have one advace, don't pay attention to your sister. Aleast my little sister doesn't go around tell me to shut up.

I tried ignoring her, but it's no good. All she does is hit me to get her attention.

[LazyReaper]

My sister is 6 years old she does the exact same thing. Instead of ignoring her, pay some attention to her. That's exactly what she wants. The reason she's going out of her way to even bug you is that so she can get some attention from you. Be nice. Ask her how her day was, that sort of thing. Show her that you'd actually prefer her to exist. ;)


-Aximlli-

[Weatherman]

That's a good thought Aximil. You could also very carefully pick her up the next time she does this, assuming you can do that, look her in the eye and tell her straight out you don't want her doing that as it's very anoying and that you don't like it when she does that.


Or you could tell your parents what's going on and get some kind of family meeting together if the problem is that bad.

Or you could beat her with a sack of sweet valencia oranges. They won't leave a bruise and they're show her who's boss. Boy howdy!

Ok, before I get flamed/banned into oblivion, that was a quote from Family Guy. Personally, I think Aximil has the right idea. Try to include her in things you do or at least express interest in her activities. As her big brother, she sees you as a role model and wants your attention and or approval.

Since you are order than your sister, I think it's time she learn some respect.

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

I have an older brother. We're both adults now, but it was in reverse from this situation here. HE'D annoy ME and beat me up. Tried to kill me a few times and almost borke some bones.

Plus, it didn't help that our cousins picked on me, too. His friends I understood, but not family, but hey. We were all young then and we grew up. We're more mature (I never said that we're the most mature adults on the planet because we're not) and our cousins and his friends see me as a human being.

Tell her if she dosen't quite bothering you, R Kelly will come after her.

[Roman Legion]

Listen to Aximlli, give your sister more attention. She's going to get it one way or another, so why not make the process easier on yourself. Since it's obviously not going to be possible to give her that attention whenever she wants, it might help to structure things a little. Set aside some time every day, with longer stretches per week. Don't bother spelling it out to her, either. She needs attention, not restrictions placed on when she can extract that attention. Don't know what kind of attention she wants? You'll figure that out simply by... paying attention to her. After that, be patient. She's only human; she'll take some time to adapt. She'll grow out of it in a couple years, anyway.

In the end, it's also worth the time and effort now, because it'll probably help the two of you get along better when you're both older.

But, if you absolutely have to get her off your back now and then, see if she follows you around while you pace about the house. This works well if your parents are home. March by them every chance you get. With a little luck, they'll get annoyed, and take care of your sister for you. Use sparingly, lest they start to get annoyed too much with you, as well...

--Dang, that made me feel old... I'm too young to be giving this kind of advice. -_-

[cross blues]

I agree with what most of the others said. Give her some attention. Try playing around, telling her to shut up every now and then. Don't be afraid to be immature. As much as you hate her playful nature now, you'll miss it when it's gone.

You got issues 'Cubeman

[Narfpinky]

Prozzak has a good point there...come down to her level a little bit. If that playful/immature nature should make her laugh...then you have more than succeeded.

Thank you Dr. Phil. ;)
(really, good advice Romey, narf :))

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

I can totally relate. If I hadn't had as much self-control as I did, my younger brother would've been thrown through a window years ago! :rolleyes: We still don't get along all the time (we may both be adults now, but we are still very different people), but at least he doesn't try to push my buttons anymore.

It seems to me that she obviously likes you, otherwise she wouldn't hang around you so much. She seems to be pretty hyper. I have to agree with the others in that you should give her some attention. Not too much, of course, or she'll be more like a barnacle than a sibling. :p It would probably help if you could find something fun to do with her. Doesn't have to be for hours on end, but just something to keep her quiet for a while. :)

This reminds me of a couple of characters that used to be on Mad TV. Will Sasso played an older brother and Alex Borstein played his little sister. She'd constantly interrupt him while he was trying to talk to others and often bring up embarassing things about her brother, whether they were true or not, like singing very loudly "Will wets his bed! Will wets his bed!" while he was trying to talk to a girl he liked. :D He'd push her, she'd fall, start crying and then he'd try to console her and shut her up so their parents wouldn't hear her. Just like it was with me and my brother. Ah, memories...

Good plan!

But seriously, the only way to get her to stop is to try to tell her how you feel about it. Then if that doesn't work you hit her with the valencia oranges.

Boy howdy, indeed.

[turbomog007]

Its times like these I am happy that I am an only child but then again I have my annoying cosines that even more annoying then sibling at times.

This is what you do you get a baboo cage and a rubber band... *looks at people giving this weird look* what I was just kidding.

I think prozzak's advice sums up what my advice would be :)
