My brother
Well, my youngest brother is spoilt rotten.

He had an Xbox 360 and a HDTV, games, wireless adapter for the 360 and a hard-drive for it bought for him. Because he wanted it.

He thinks nothing of asking my parents to buy him this or that game for him, and my dad usually does so.

He throws temper tantrums whenever I ask if I can play it for a few hours with my mates.

Did I mention he's 16, never had a job in his life, and regularly throws temper tantrums?

Spoilt little bastard.

Still, there is a happy point to this tale.

One night, when me and my dad were talking about the fact that my parents marriage was breaking up because of my mum going mental (No, not in the senile way but in the way of arguing every day with my dad about anything and saying stuff like 'Oh, I'm still young and attractive, I can get another man') and how my dad can't take it any more (Can't say I blame him, really), my brother walks in and complains that we're talking too loud and he can't hear what his friends are saying on the 360 because of us.

I looked at my dad, and then promptly laid into my brother, pinning him up against the wall, and yelling in his face solidly about him being a spoilt selfish brat who never thinks of anyone apart from himself, who doesn't have the common decency to attempt to be nice, etc etc.

The look on his face is priceless.

Eventually I let him go and after he apologised profusely for his behaviour that night, he ran for it.

So yeah, whilst I didn't strangle the spoilt shit, I did get to yell at him and abuse him.

Happy days.

Length? A good fifteen minutes ;)

What is it with younger brothers?
I once had my brother up against the wall by his throat because, whilst he wasn't spoiled in the same way as yours, he didn't know what the kitchen was for, (that was women's work), and never let our parents know where or where he was going.
At least I had the sense to do it when he'd been home for a while giving it the 'whatever' to complaints.
My dad once was so pissed off at him being out until really late, that as he walked in the house my dad hit him round the back of the head.
Scared the life out of my brother, my dad wasn't a physical man, but the fact he hadn't taken his crash helmet off yet rather dulled the pain. (For my brother, anyway.)

Younger brothers
Are just dicks from what I've seen.

Your dad sounds ace to be honest, at least he does something about it.

In later life
he will thank you for that. Or at least he should.

We shall see
I doubt he will, but we shall see.
