As for looking after a 16 year old - I'd consider it a compliment that your parents consider you to be significantly more mature than your brother.If it's any consolation,I still get pissed off when my wife wants to go out and I get left stuck at home to care our children.

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, I didn't see it. Anyway, I never meant for him to just blatantly disrespect and disobey his parents. I was saying that when they start being unfair and controling, to the point of being destrucive to this guys life, its time to start doing what he wants to do in a fair manner. He is 18, he is an adult, and if he wants to he can go to his friends house. Its not fair for them to control him into doing something stupid and wasteful. And I didn't mean you were an idiot for listening to your parents, I meant you were an idiot for wrongly trying to justify a dishonest act with statements like "you will thank them when your older" or other remarks like that.
