Yeah but it is a bit irritating since I don't act like that to him.
But I do understand why it happens, out of his group of friends he's the most level headed and balance. Some times when he talks about his friends, especially if they are girls, he talks about how much drama they cause, how selfish they are, and my mom noted that some of his friends are well off. He's also had pretty bad luck with girls, most of them were bitches while the one who was not had some sort of a break down and became a [sonic slicer] for a while, though I hear she is getting better.
Plus he was a member of a fraternity, he was the Vice President his senior year, and even though he's technically not a member anymore he still hangs with those groups of people from time to time. So when people get drunk, he's usually one of the people sober enough to keep an eye on people to make sure they don't hurt themselves or something. I think one night in particular he had to stop someone from starting a fight, make sure a girl didn't wander too far away, and some third thing that I don't remember. He's the type of guy who's too nice.
He can also take things for granted, when he's at home he doesn't wash what he uses while I do, and I'm more willing to cook for myself or use the microwave, while he either goes out to eat use the microwave, or wait for my mom to come home. Though in the dorm he fends for himself better. Then there was the times when we wanted to get iPods and iPhones and he would say that I shouldn't get it since I don't need it, or in the case of the iPod one that had less capacity, which I call bull since if I don't need it neither would he and we get equal treatment even if he is 4 years older, but that was a long time ago.
Plus it's also the fact that out of everyone in the family he the most self conscious and not really one to break the mold. So I think that may be the reason he's like that. He's great with kids but he kind of has trouble refusing my dad, when my mom is super stubborn, and he and I are 2 completely different people. I love him very much, but I wish he was a bit more understanding, hopefully with his new human services major and living on his own will change him a little.
I've never had one fight with my bro.
I do remember one particular time when I was in elementary school that he was annoying me so much that I slapped him in the face. I felt really bad for it and wasn't punished for it because of it even if I shouldn't have slapped him, though he probably shouldn't have done whatever it was he did to get me to that point. Course I would never slap him like that again.
