I live with my brother whos a little bit yonger than me. Were both over 20 so were adults. I do everything around the house. I buy groceries, buy everything we need, take the trash out, wash dishes,pay satellite bill etc... (my parents are nice enough to pay my bills till I graduate from college 1-2yrs from now). My brother- he does absolutely nothing and he gets grouchy if I ask him to help out...he started sleeping in the living room and he thinks he owns that area (no one can go in there now or else he gets pissed) and lately, after getting a new laptop, he has made the kitchen table his office. Every area of the house he occupies looks garbage-y including his bedroom which he deosnt even sleep in anymore--too trashy...and it just annoys me that he thinks he owns the entire house...i cant even go into the living room. All i have is my bedroom. I hate having to do everything and living in his garbage. I try to clean but I cant keep up with his mess plus I dont have time since I have to study. He spends so much time on himself excercising, going out at night, he does web design and he acts like hes too busy to help out. Evertime I see him Im automatically in a bad mood I feel like I hate him....he is such a jerk!!! am I just being spoiled and overreacting??? I mean he is my brother.... i feel like this everyday

    Your brother is the spoiled one. See if you can get your parents on your side and tell him to buck up or GTFO.

    It's normal to hate your brother. But, in my case, I really love my little brother. He's by far the best person that I have around me.

    Sounds like you're both spoiled. Why don't you just get your own place if you're an adult? Oh yeah, too sweet living off mommy and daddy. Well, your brother may be a slob but neither one of you is paying for anything so let him live in his own filth and you live in your cleanliness and accept it as part of having a free place to live - there's always a catch.

    Wow sounds like you talking about my own brother.

    What I did is immediately did the same thing to annoy him. Basically it showed him what I saw. It got the parental units (model 1948X) attention and proved my point with them.

    :) I know how to fix this problem; don't cleam the house anymore, yep don't do anything just kick back and relax like your bro does. He'll eventually help clean because he wont like the trashy house.
