OKAY so the kid isnt BAD!
My brother (turning 9 this week) has a friend who is over our house CONSTANTLY (friend is also 9). My mom and step dad dont realize it but this boy influences my brother to do things that he normally wouldnt do. I’m not saying that my brother is a saint, because he isnt.

Here are a few examples:
My brother has a go-cart but he is only allowed to ride it when an adult can closely supervise and when the ground is dry (so that its not all muddy) etc.. My brother knows when its okay to ask to ride the go-cart and when its not (IE: if it just got finished raining, my brother wont ask) this is a typical convo between the two
Friend: "can you ask your mom if we can ride the go cart?"
Brother "not today, its too wet outside"
Friend "Well then i minus well just call my mom and go home if we’re not going to ride it"
And then my brother says "okay i’ll ask" and he bothers my mom for HOURS, non stop, asking to ride the thing.

More details coming
I’m 20 years old (21 next week) and my bedroom is directly accross from my brothers, so when the two kids are in his room I hear basically everything that goes on.

Now, this wouldnt be such a huge problem other than a few things.
1. I dont like my brother being pushed around like that
and
2. As well as the friend CONSTANTLY being over, I’m CONSTANTLY watching the kids. I’m sourt of like a "live in babysitter" lol. For example my mom had a dr appt today and asked me to get the kids off the bus (never told me that this friend would be coming over as well)

when my mom asks me to watch the kids so that she can go out to eat, or to the grocery store, she always forgets to mention that the friend is here too.

I’ve talked to my mom about it, telling her I probably wouldnt mind but I’d like to be prepared and that she needs to try to communicate better with me…
I’ve also shared my feelings about the friend but they’re convinced that hes a great kid!
