I'm a 15 year old boy who got his own room after 5 years. I have recently been able to work better and sleep better (and gamble in peace Xd). I started talking less to my younger brothers and that bothers my parents, and they also think that I and my brothers are going crazy or even are. My brother plays Fortnite every day and screams a lot of rum, which is annoying, of course, because then I can't play with my friends. When we slept, my brother made noises that kept me awake for 1 to 2 hours.
My question: are my parents right or not.
Why do they think you're crazy?
Because I don't do anything with my brothers and I sit in my room all day.
Your parents should forbid your brother if he shouts like that. And that you don't talk to your brothers anymore is not that great either, but that's not why you're crazy.
No, you are definitely normal. Especially if you have got your own room now, it is ok that you want to spend time alone. I also have little siblings and I hardly ever spend time with them because they just annoy me. My ters don't understand that either…
Now they force me to let my brothers into my room. I have so much to do for school and I can't do it.
Hi
No your parents are wrong.
It is completely normal that you have other interests than your little brother.
But that's no reason not to speak to him anymore and maybe you should take some time for your brother every now and then.
What is the age difference and are there more siblings?
I would not say that you are crazy. As long as you don't overdo it, I think it is normal to gamble for about 2-3 hours (or a little longer) a day, as long as there's nothing else that suffers. Talking less with the brothers is not bad if there's nothing special to tell anyway, but you shouldn't let the contact break off completely. With your brother, things look a lot different and are more difficult to see because shouting late into the night is definitely not normal. This may require more control and support from the parents. It would be absolutely forbidden for me and would have consequences if I shouted so much while playing
I suggest a few measures to my parents, but they say that I'm still a child and would not understand something like that.
My office is a year older than me and we had a room together until he had high school and then moved out to study in the autumn.
I say… Pack strikes, Pack gets along… Until we're 7/8. Classes weren't that problematic. But after that, my own room would have been nice. When there were friends, there were often three of them (also to 'gamble'), but when you had a friend with you, it became problematic. I mean you couldn't get toys, books, school supplies, anything else…
You should take your chance to bring friends along, but don't forget your siblings and do something with them! It would also be fun in between to sleep in the same room again (mattress on the floor?).
ONLY using your own room to barricade yourself there and gamble alone is almost 'waste'.
What measures?
I have 2 siblings. One is 11, the other is 6. I also talk to my brothers for an hour.
This is not normal. Your parents should respect your privacy.
I suggested that my parents forbid my brother Fortnite or not let him play for a while.
My parents don't listen to me. Do you have an idea how to explain it to them?
Might not be bad. I personally think, however, that your parents probably have a problem of whatever kind, because such blanket statements that you do not understand any of them or are "crazy" is very strange to me. I would normally be happy if my children gave me a brief hint to have a direct line and to be able to react to problems at an early stage.
Try to explain to them that you need rest, because otherwise you can't do your schooling properly.
Then I don't understand your parents.
