AITAH ignoring my brother and telling him to hit me when he got angry?
I’m not really someone who posts, but I hope this follows the rules. Long story short, my sister and I (F23) where joking and eating sushi in the kitchen. My brother Junior (M24 & fake name) asked me what was the food I took out of the refrigerator. My sister answered for me, saying it was old food. Junior asked again what I’d do with that food and I said that I’d deal with it. My brother asked again but my mouth was filled with sushi and I wasn’t going to provide any new information anyway so I ignored. He asked 2 more times and got louder each time. I ignored and kept eating.
After that Junior got angry I was ignoring him and I asked him why he was being dramatic about the food that I took out. He’s not responsible for any dishes, so I genuinely couldn’t understand it. He told me that when he says something, I have to respond. I said no I don’t, what’s wrong with you. We went back and forth, him talking about how I need to listen and respond when I say something and I was wrong for ignoring him. He was getting angry that I disagreed completely, and he stomped forward and huffed and puffed. To me he clearly wanted to scare me and act tough and I was sick of him, so I told to come over and hit me. I kept telling him to come and hit me. He came over and huffed and puffed in front of me, but didn’t hit me and backed after my mom pulled him and yelled at him. I commented “this is a man” sarcastically.
We started to argue again, him asserting that I ignored him 3 times earlier, and that when he says something I need to respond. I told him that he’s acting crazy and I don’t need to. Junior got angry and called me worthless, nothing, the r word, and he told me that he’s better than me. I felt like he was just spamming insults because he’s mad. He also said he can do more things than me… with that exact wording trying to say he was more skilled or smarter? He also said I could play the piano for 3 hours straight as an insult… lol. I told him he could play video games for 3 hours straight. After that he started arguing with my mom. When I tried to chime in at some points, he would say shut up you’re nothing you’re worthless and I’m talking to mom. My mom told him to go to his room, but he said no because he was justified. So he stayed there watching stranger things while we cooked.
So AITAH for ignoring my brother 3 times when he was speaking to me? It wasn’t nice to ignore him when he was asking me something multiple times. Also I could be wrong for provoking him further while he’s angry. But he could be TAH for his aggressiveness after he got ignored and his odd ways of demanding respect. Does a younger sister owe their brother this level of respect?
