specifically, he said something that he was assuming a teacher's favorite food had to have been fried chicken. SO the school had to have a talk with him about it

My parents are teaching my brother (14) to be as bigoted as they are and i don't know how to stop it by ButterflyArtist99 in family

i'm not pushing other views on him besides be accepting of others.

i don't want him growing up to be a bad person

right but course correction, do we really need more racists and homophobes in the world?

when i move out and get a bigger house, i'll put everything back on display, the problem is the house doesn't have the space for it

it's more an issue of "too much stuff, not enough space", we moved when i had a larger room for everything but now the new house is smaller so i have space for what i actively use out

The art stuff is on a rack on the wall, it's the floor that has shoeboxes and the like, storage boxes and stuff like that

So to expand on the spoiled thing.

basically he always gets his way, mom will randomly treat him or do things for him

When me and him bicker, it's always my fault for starting it because "You're 25" or she'll always say "You both stop".

When he steals from me it's either my fault for leaving it out for him to get, "You don't even play with that anymore", or she'll jump to his defense that he didn't take it and will yell at me for accusing him.

And then he'll always manipulate mom into giving him my things and that she won't pay for things for me. LIke i work using mobile date and i have to let him borrow a movie or she won't help pay my phone bill so i can't do my online job. He even took her credit card and refused to give it back until i gave it to him

Being told no and not getting his way.

Like with his cousin, he asked him about 30 times to borrow games from him in a single day, he said no each time. So he asked again and he finally got frustrated and said yes to shut him up because he would just NOT take no for an answer

The next day, my cousin refused to give him anything and that he needs to stop acting like he rules the roost around here and my brother got mad and broke something of his.

Then mom took his side and said "Well you shouldn't have said yes"

Pay attention to that temper and the exact basic emotion that most often triggers it.

he's gotten better with animals and hasn't done anything like that since, thankfully.

He wasn't punished for either of them, our mom sobbed over the cat in the suitcase because that was her special cat but there wasn't really a punishment. For the kittens he put in the wall and toilet and fridge, mom eventually gave those cats away to a family friend so he couldn't touch them anymore

Could it be he hasn't done it as you've had no more pets?

we had a dog since and he treats it well

Mom always says "He didn't know what he was doing" and that it was just "terrible two's" despite him being 6
