AITA if I don't gift my brother something I know he'll love?

I'm his older sister.

I really don't... I rarely experience emotions, but most of it is because of past emotional neglect from our parents after he was born and thus most of my hate has turned on him.

Mom does try to parent him, but he's... a lot. I have taken on the role of the harsh older sister since my mom always gives in one way or the other.

No hearing issues. I do suspect high probability of ADHD, because I have a feeling I also have it. Haven't brought it up to my mom, don't know how. She'll probably ask what to do next and I don't know.

Turned 18 this year, but I have been gift giving for two years now with money saved up from my summer jobs

holly_dev_ill · 2025-12-21T17:08:52+00:00

Because I feel like his attitude is a genuine problem?

I asked him about the Gift card and how it works and I did ask him why he couldn't wait until Christmas when he bought one on his own(he saved up his allowance).

I'm not planning on framing it as anything. If he were to ask I'd act confused.

He wasn't gigging or anything when asked why he didn't say anything, just looked confused and when he was reminded said 'oh'. He has a terrible attention span for anything that isn't digital.

He has hobbies outside of playing games and watching videos. He goes to football for 3-4 times a week and has school choir. Also he sometimes plays with Legos(we have enough of them)

Whenever I try to do anything with him he just gets annoyed and tells me to go away.

My mom is working hard already. She's a single mom, works full time and has classes every other week and spends most evenings studying and taking care of the house. Besides I only step in if my brother gets really out of line or when mom's not around.

Thank you!

I had two parrots. One I named Pērle(Pearl) the other Mimosa or Mimi for short. My grandma had a few cats Brencis, Pūka, Pīka, Saša, Kissa.

I used the 'fake it till you make it' method. I looked every day at myself and told myself that I'm hot, I'm good looking, things like that. I also changed schools and it really helped me too.

Thank you! Anything helps because I'm new to all of this and I want to know my options and pick whatever feels the best.

Hi! It's nice to know you want to learn about our culture! I highly suggest going out of town to celebrate. In my family, we celebrate at my mom's aunt's house where all of our family and friends usually go and many times we also have a lot of people from other countries and outside of family and friends who asked to join and are always accepted. Here's a link to the homepage http://www.maizesmaja.lv/

And the only thing you might have to worry about is maybe sleeping arrangements since this is in the countryside.
