You can stop hating your little brother by realizing that he is younger than you and that will make you irritated from time to time. And it helps to remember that you were his age once and think if you were any better than him.

Well, it depends on the situation. But as far as hating him, just remembering that he is also a person with emotions, most likely similar to your own, having grown up in a situation with you. Unfortunately, you can't change someone's actions or who they are. But it's best to accept them as they are. Depression is caused by helplessness- feeling like you can't necessarily change something. Acceptance of that is important. Hatred does nothing but give someone unnecessary helplessness and anxiety. I hope this helps a bit! Have a lovely day.

Sometimes hate can be that temporary hate and sometimes it can be that unforgiving hate. First you need to decide what hate it is. And yes, that unforgiving hate does exist between blood. Why Because stuff happens. If it's that temporary hate you can talk it out. Of course depending on age. Saying it out loud helps. Because he might say why? and you have to list these reasons and then you think to yourself are these really good reasons to hate my little brother or is it all just trivial stuff. if it's that unforgiving hate then maybe thinking about forgiveness. It's hard but in the end hating someone is only hard on you.

In the experience of my friends with little brothers, they often hated their brothers because their lives were too intertwined. Every bad thing the brother said or did, had too much of an effect on the sister, they couldn't get away. My advice is to try to be more independent from the little brother. Spend more time apart, especially when you've had a tough day already. Take breaks, move to a different area of the house or go outside somewhere else. Since you're the older sister, you have to be the one to move because you have the most freedom and smarts. And remember, they're younger and less mature than you. Maybe try scheduling in time with your little brother so you can still have a relationship with them, but be mentally prepared each time. Then maybe the hate will slowly fade.

You have to stem down to the reason you think you "hate" him. Is it hate? Or do you envy him for some reason? In most cases, from what I've seen, older siblings that resent their younger siblings is not due to just hating them - it's jealousy. Do they get special treatment? Do you find your parents pay more attention to your brother than they do to you? In most cases, it's not hatred. It's jealousy. Focus on the reasons you think you resent him - and try to find a solution. If it's something to do with him receiving special treatment, talk to your parents. If you and your brother don't get along, talk to him, and try to fix things.

You tell yourself that it's okay if he annoys you, it's okay if he takes you to your limits, it's okay if he pokes into everything that you doing just due to curiosity, and it's okay if he at times makes you cry. Just know that he's your little brother, who hasn't seen the world as good as you. If he spoils your mood, you spoil him with your love. If he pokes into your business, poke his little nose as a mere act of affection. As you have a little brother, others don't. Appreciate what you have, and respect what you don't. At the end of the day, he's your brother who deep down surely looks up to you. Talk to him, tell him how you dislike certain things he does. Communication makes everything healthy.

Siblings often resent each other. Arguing with, fighting with, and ignoring siblings is completely natural. Realizing that at some points there are situations when both parties are at fault, can help you realize that emotions are complicated and that maybe hatred can be calmed with control of emotions.

Although siblings can be annoying and although they sometimes are a part in rivalry, they are our playmates, our teachers and our protectors in the long run. To have someone who could watch your back in bad times and provide you a support no one else can do is priceless. That's why, even though we are annoyed at them from time to time, it might be a good thing to keep in mind that our little brothers are there for us.

I think siblings will always have a love-hate relationship. But in the end, always remember that the best gift your parents could ever give you is your sibling. You may not see it now but someday, when all this "hate" fades away, you will see that bond.
