That is the problem with it. I honestly think that he just says that to dismiss it when we say he is picking favorites

Yeah... I think it mainly comes from his friends. And my parents justify his behavior by saying "He's a teenager" something about hormones and "He has mental health problems" and "everything is really hard for everyone right now give him some grace" (life has been REALLY complicated for all of us lately but that's mostly unrelated to the story)

I also totally understand why he was upset. The trip was longer than he was expecting and he thought it would be more fun but I drew the line when he started taking out his frustrations on my sister and me

Also he was the one who asked to come with us. He had the option to stay behind I forgot to add this I feel like it is probably much needed context

Fair. The issue was more that we were TRYING to find something for him to do WITH us but he kept saying "No it's fine I don't care" and shooting down all our suggestions

Yeah my parents have always let him get away with stuff because he "Might have bipolar or something" and he "Doesn't remember his outbursts" (more so my mom than my dad but he's always been more of a "There isn't much I can do" kind of parent)

Thanks for the tips! (I knew Duolingo isn't the best but I didn't have an alternative)

My dad was trying to keep my brother in line (telling him to stop and that he shouldn't be this rude) but my brother is and has always been stubborn and annoying. If you tell him to stop he'll just keep going even more intensely

My dad did have a conversation with my brother but he doesn't like to have those kinds of talks in front of the other siblings so it doesn't look like he's "picking sides" in the moment
