[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 79308, member: 3626"] As I told you in a previous post, I would treat your eldest exactly like he is treating his brother and have everyone in the household do the same. The other way to go is to have everyone treat him with cloying sweetness but I doubt he would get the subtlety in that. It may seem childish but sometimes our kids need "mirrors" to see exactly what their actions look like. It is not a tit for tat thing but rather a do you like the image you are seeing? I know you've tried talking to him about this behavior and gotten nowhere. You could try putting it in black and white -- either you treat your brother with the simple courtesy that you would a stranger (if he would treat a stranger with any courtesy) or you can be in common areas of the house only when he is not around. Common areas include the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom. He can enjoy his room in solitude. You can bring him food when it is convenient to him. He can figure out a way to use the toilet at very inconvenient times. [/QUOTE]
