I just woke up. Me (21M) and my brother (20M) share my grandma’s PlayStation. He was asleep so I figured I’d play for a bit, took the PlayStation out of his room and hooked it up in the living room.
He wakes up and freaks out about the PlayStation not being in his room. Mind you I was already planning on giving it back to him when he woke up cause I do play it more. But that’s because I have an actual job. He’s quite literally a NEET with anger issues. He doesn’t work, he BARELY helps our grandma out around the house and refuses to get a job. He also likes to flip every situation on its head and make it seem like it’s my fault when he’s literally the only one with/causing issues. He’s literally blind to himself and it’s mind boggling. I also bought and paid for the only working controller in the house. He broke the last one we had while playing a game. He’s lucky I let him use it at all after that.
Anyways, he’s flipping out and goes back into his room and throws his Nintendo Switch out of his room in anger. I’m completely perplexed at this point so I just turn my game off, unplug the PS and toss it on his bed (mind you it’s covered in dirty clothes so it had plenty of cushion). Then he freaks out again, flies out the room with the PlayStation and SLAMS it on the couch at my feet. LIKE BRO THATS NOT YOURS TO DO THAT TO. Then he says "that’s what you did though". No, it was not. My arms didn’t go above my head when I tossed it on his bed. We then get into an entire argument about "who plays the game more" I hit him with every valid point I have before (You’re literally the only freaking the fuck out and yelling. I admit I got loud too but not until after he had yelled at me for so long and BOOM! Somehow I’m the one who’s wrong for wanting his fair share.
I don’t know, he always makes out me playing the game to be a bad thing and how it means I basically just "hate" him because he never gets to play. He owns a Switch. And doesn’t/won’t get a job. I work. I’d like a reward when I’m done working. It’s only fair. But no I’m not allowed cause I already play it a lot. EVEN THOUGH I’M THE ONLY ONE DOING THINGS TO EARN IT. Again I am completely perplexed by his behavior. AITA?
Info: do you have to live with him?
ESH. You didn’t have to slam the Playstation. He overreacted. And you don’t “deserve” to play more just because you work.
You sure this isn’t OP (M11) and his brother (M10)?? ESH, seems like a disfunctional family structure
