how can i fix my family?

Stay calm - don't communicate with your brother cause all its doing is starting new fights. Just ignore him completely. He'll also give up.

Avoid playing games etc.

Just all watch TV together and have your meals together. No need for any activities.

On special nights, go out to restaurants. Treat your parents to a movie of your selection on nights such as their anniversary.

Don't speak much to your sister... let it cool down for a few days and you'll forget the incident even occurred. That's your sister and mom sorted out.

Ignore your bro until he respects you. You'll know this when he stops being a jerk.

You're dad is probably stressed with work so don't demand too much from him. I suggest you get the family to take a week off and go on holiday.

You gotta keep everyone happy so try activities that all of you are foreign too (perhaps golf or go-karting) so all of you will be equally bad and there won't be any issue of your dad being annoyed cause he's not doing good.

It's just a phase and every family goes through it. It's just your duty to not push things too far. I know your bro and sister don't understand this but if you start acting, they will change too.

Good luck!

When I was a kid, there wasn't any fighting over who was going to do the dishes! Why you ask? There were 8 of us kids, my mom made a list every week, of what kid was responsible for each chore and what time of the day it was to be done. Example

Wash dishes (by hand-no dish washer <we were the dish washers>) (3 different times a day), hang out clothes, bring in clothes, fold clothes and put away (we didn't have a dryer back then). set the table, clear the table, take out the trash, and even bring the cows in. If your name was on the list. YOU were responsible for getting it done. If you didn't do that chore, you didn't get your .25 cent allowance on Saturday. Yeah, .25 cents.

We didn't have cell phones, internet, stereos (oops, you probably don't even know what a stereo is) i pods, cars, and all the other fancy devices kids have now days.

So, you might suggest this to your mom, I know she has enough to do every day, but it might help a little bit of the fighting. As for your brother, sounds like he needs to have everything taken away from him and sit in a corner to think about it. He wouldn't get it back until his attitude changed. Then maybe. A swift kick to sit might not be a bad idea too.

It's very difficult to control other people - what you can control is how you react to other people.

Controlling your anger and learning learn how to deal with people who are a pain in a positive manner are crucial life skills. When your brother is annoying you, do whatever you can to get away from him or ask your parent/guardian for help if possible - refuse to be mean to him even when he is mean to you. If he is mean to you, say in a polite tone something like "I'm sorry you feel that way" - and walk away. Treat everyone with kindness and respect.

Remember that it takes two people to have a fight - if you aren't participating, then fighting should eventually be reduced in your household. Your responsibility is to do whatever you can to be a positive example to the other people in your family. Developing these life skills will help you to have the best possible life. Good luck!

PS You may want to suggest that the family attend professional family counseling.

The only person you have the power to change is yourself.
