So my brothers ruining everything..

So a few months ago he completely ruined my mw2 k/d. I got over that. So I started buying him games on my ps3, now he stills goes on my xbox 360 to play left 4 dead 1 and 2, and he leaves all my disc out.some of my discs have cracks in them now. He's ruining my saves, and I really feel he's about my break my headset which I just spent 140$ on. He's been doing this for months no matter how many times me or my parents tell him not to go on he always goes on. If I put a lock he'll get pissed and do something with my stuff. My parents don't seem to be punishing him, just telling him to get off when he's on. but then he just sneaks right back on... Even when we say no xbox 360 for a day or two still.. he goes on. -.- I just don't know what to do.. any ideas before he breaks anything else? This is starting to get me extremely frustrated.

Spare the rod and spoil the child, I say beat him. Im atheist btw I just like that reference.

how old is he

when my brother was threatening to use my live account cuz he is too cheap to pay for his own I just put a pass code on it.

You could just put anything you dont want him to touch on a shelf or something. You have to remeber, kids are dumb and it does not take much to outsmart them

He'd still play offline, and I can't move my headset because it has tons of wires and I definetly do not feel like setting up all my wires again everytime I wanna use my headset for a bit.Wakanoid

he cant play if the power bar mysteriously vanishes :o

Tell him if he breaks anything else, he has to pay for it. He's seven, sure, but that's no excuse for disrespecting other people's things. If he says he can't afford to pay for it, then tell him he has to sell enough of his things in order to get enough money. I know how it is when siblings mess around with your things even when you tell them not to.

Also, if your parents take his side, get them to realize that it's there responsibility that your games don't get broken. It all seems unfair on you "just because he's seven".

you could lock your account and make him his own gamertag and try to explain that, that one is his and the other is yours.

sorry to hear about the discs though.

Heh, I've done that before... Just a bit worried something of mine will mysteriously vanish if I do that..Wakanoid

hide every 360 game and the 360 itself but hide the power in a place thats harder to find it in. get him a 360 as well

Honestly I'm confused on what your asking? You dont want to hide the power brick, or make it so he can't play...what do you want us to do magically restrain your brother from playing your 360. Sorry man, but theres nothing we can do...either suck it up or make it so he can't play. It's as easy as that, we're not going to be able to punish him for you or your parents....:SAft3rBurn3r

What does he value? Threaten to do something to that if he uses your xbox again, you will likely only have to follow through once (if at all).

grow a sac and show ur brother whos boss

This sounds like problem that the internet cannot answer.

i'd say lock your door.

or teach your brother some discipline, you need to make him FEAR you. he needs to be scared when you start yelling at him. take away the ps3 too just so he can feel even sadder.

So basically you are scared of you're 7 year old brother. Why are there a lot of threads in which people are afraid to defend their property? So far, we had a cousin and now a brother, so what's next is some kids mother going to start breaking his xbox for no reason? It's simple tell him no or tell your parents. I should be paid to help people with their problems because, it only took me about 10 seconds to solve this complicated problem of yours.

Get firm with your parents, tell them they need to do their job as parents and teach him not to do that kind of stuff. Or invest in a new doorknob with a lock on it. Or, punch your brother until he learns.

If you are so worried about him just take the power brick.

ohhh this is a good 1 when ur talking to him use "I" messages instead of "you" and try talking to him with a nicer tone of voice, that usually works with the kids i use to work with, give him a positive feeling that might actually get him to comply with some of the things u ask of him

I did, and that's when I bought him all the games for the ps3, gave him my ps3 bought him more accesories for the ps3... Wakanoid

OK, how old are you? Right now it honestly sounds like your brother is outsmarting you.

I have an 8 year old brother, Im in university and lots of times Im there all day. You have to get your brother to respect you. Its pretty simple, let him know that he can use the stuff until he damages it, as soon as that happens don't let him use it.

You are worried about him breaking your stuff when you aren't around? Again, you are afraid of a child. I don't know him personally, but you have to get him to respect you and your property. Use your body language, let him know you are serious.

Well tell him you want a lock. Unless there's a reason why you don't have a lock on your door...

Well then you have to talk to your parents about getting your brother in line with stuff. If your 7 year old brother can outsmart them to get his way then you should be able to as well.

Hide all your controllers, if he does go bonkers and breaks your stuff, then you have some ammunition with your parents. If your parents still don't care when your stuff is broken, well then you are screwed I guess. I don't see why your parents would be so strict with you and not your brother though.

Wakanoid you need to man up. Be physical with your brother if necessary. He will learn to respect you and your authority.

And if your mother gets pissed at you for trying to discipline your brother, then tell her that you wouldn't have to if she would just do her job.

Do it nao.

Give him a kidney shot...

Options:

1. Tell him that if he doesn't leave your things alone, then you will sell all of his things to pay for them.

2. SMACK 'IM DOWN!

3. Talk to your parents. Tell them that you think it's unfair that he gets off the hook just because he's 7. If they say he doesn't know better, ask if they want him to grow up and continue disrespecting property. Do they really want him to grow up to be a vandal?

4. Hide the power cord. Then hide anything that you don't want him taking.

5. Get a lock on your door. (One that needs a key) Lock it whenever you leave.

6. Break something of your parent's that they really love, and tell them that he broke it because he was mad when you kicked him off of your xbox.

And, lastly:

7. Wrap your controller in aluminum foil. Attach that to a wire, and the wire to a very large battery. One of the 2'' thick ones that they use in big flashlights.

A lock could work well, I have no idea why my dad removed it years ago. I'll ask him to put on one. Maybe an eletric fence to go with it? And put an eletric collar on him?

Nowyou're thinking! And if he gets away with stuff because "He's 7 and doesn't know any better" then your parent's aren't doing their job. He HAS to know better, they are supposed to teach him. I bet you're wishing your mom had learned to just say no, huh? And, if all else fails.... "HEADSHOT!" - Halo Narrator

He can't be very tall if you have a PC table that has a high level,

for example like this one, just put the 360 on the highest level

If he messes with your xbox again go into his room when he's sleeping and punch him in the head or hide in his closet and scare the **** out of him and then tell him that you will do it every night until he stops touching it.

Put a bark collar on him. When he messes something of yours up, punch him. He will yelp, thus setting off the bark collar. He will likely yelp again in surprise.

My Dad wasn't afraid to assert his authority. My younger brother broke my Atari (yeah, I know, I'm old), so he said: You will learn respect! You're going to work for Danny [me] until he decides that you have worked it off! Brother [james]: NO! Dad: YES! NOW GET YOUR LAZY !@% UP AND GET TO WORK!

He cleaned my room for a year before he worked it off. Ironically, I had bought it at a garage sale for 5$. ;)
