If your brother is constantly coming into your room, it might feel like he’s invading your privacy (and your alone time). If you’ve tried asking him nicely and he just won’t listen, it might be time to try something new. Start by talking to your parents to enforce some boundaries, and try spending more time with your brother when you can. Hopefully, this will keep him out of your room without a huge fight every time.
Steps
Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat do I do if he does not respect personal space and loves me too much to stay away?Community AnswerSpend some quality time with him. This is all he wants, and if you do it, he'll probably be more willing to give you a little space. You can even try to compromise, like tell him you'll play a game with him for 30 minutes if he'll leave you alone for an hour after that.
- QuestionHow do I get my little brother to stop talking to me about his girlfriends?Community AnswerHe's just trying to involve you in the events of his life. Just listen politely for a little while, then make an excuse to leave, or ask him to leave your room so you can have some alone time. If you're polite, he'll probably be understanding.
- QuestionWill these tips work with sisters too?Community AnswerYes, they will.
Tips
- Get your parents or guardians involved if your brother won’t listen to you.Thanks
