Used you terrorize your siblings?

Merkin

It never ceases to amaze me how small kids have the propensity to be incredibly cruel to their siblings. I was thinking about something recently that I used to do to the youngest of my brothers and it's mean beyond belief! He was an incredibly cute, scrumptious looking little toddler with dimples and curly hair who absolutely adored me, and me him. I would have been about five or six and he would have been about eighteen months old at the time.

When he cried, he was quite possibly the cutest, most beguiling little bundle of misery because his little chin would wobble (displaying just a couple of teeth), his little dimples would look even bigger, he'd produce big fat tears out his baby blue eyes and he'd just shake with upset.

So I regularly used to bring him out for a walk, tell him that I was going off to play with friends and that I was going to leave him on his own until I came back and then pretend to walk off until he started to cry. I only did this so I could run back, scoop him up, and cuddle him and comfort him until he felt better.

In any event we're as close as ever. When I confessed this to his wife recently, she said that she used to regularly slap her little brother on the hand when nobody was looking in order to do the exact same thing

I'm sure a psychoanalyst would have field day.

We had one of those folding stairs to go up to the attic, I would on occaision, close them up while my sister was still up there.

Felt terrible when I realized that my sister really hated and got scared of being trapped up there, even though I'd never walk away and leave her there, thought it was just a bit of a joke.

God I used to slap my younger sister too so I could comfort her and hug her. She cottoned on fairly quickly though and when she told my mam, I was one who got slapped I can tell you.

I'm a bit relieved I'm not only one who did this but a bit worried too!

We're really close now. I remember telling her about this (she couldn't remember) and she thought it was hilarious.

I'm the youngest so was terrorized more than I did the terrorizing.

My brother took my beanie babies collection (I had about 50-60) and hid them around my room, all in various sexual positions. I learned alot that day...

WE use to terrorise each other all right, but it mainly took a more psychological form, such as the running off and leaving the youngest behind, we user to reinact TV programs and the youngest always had to play the worst part or even worse the youngest had to pretend to be our servants in games. It surprising the among of people who have told their younger sibling they( younger sibling) were adopted and or told their younger sibling that the parents did not love them and only loved the older siblings.

We get on great as adults.

I hung my younger brothers teddies by the neck until they were dead.

I probably watched too many pirate and cowboy films.

Little brither wasn't too impressed. I believe the word traumatised is still bandied about occasionally.

We used to play Captain Planet and our little brother always had to be Heart Heart was often not feeling well, so to make him better we got him to drink the 'potion' (containing dirt, grass, and other garden delicacies)

I used to pick up dead flies and chase my sisters with them.

We had a 3 storey house and on the top story was a spare room. For some reason there was a really scary witch mask hidden in the drawers up there - the rubber kind with hair - really scary for a child. My brother hated it and was terrified. I would lure him upstairs, bring him into the room, tell him to close his eyes, LOCK THE DOOR(!!!) and put on the mask. It scared the bejaysus out of him. The poor thing would be hysterical. He was only about 4 or 5 and fell for it every time. Such good times....

I'm the youngest so I was the one terrorised. My sister once hid under my bed and grabbed my ankle when I came into the room. Scared the life out of me. My oldest brother hid behind a set of full-length curtains another time and when I saw them start to move and a hand emerge, I started to actually cry with fright.

To be fair though, I did once throw a drink over him just to see what he'd do. I also hit my sister with a poker for the same reason.

I still do.

I thought I was bad to my young relations and my Wifes young nieces and nephews.

While they are young enough to keep falling for this, I just say to them, "Hey come, hey do you know what?" and they'd be all ears and grinning asking "What?". I'd say "nothing" and totally ignore them.

Some kids cry, others keep following me around after that saying "Do you know what, do you know what" I just ignore them.

It's just teasing, I never went for the whole tormenting/terrorizing thing. (of course, one can hardly torment their nieces and nephews, their parents would be pissed off).

As for my only sibling, my sister. Well ya, I used to scare the living daylights outta her. Creep into the room and hide and scare her and stuff. Pouring a few drops of water on her face while she was sleeping was particularly funny.

I dont have a younger brother, but my dad did.

The slept in the same room back in the 1930s. Now back then rooms were coooold in winter (actually , probably cold all year around)

My dad used to go to bed later than his younger brother and used to sneak in, life his sleeping brother out of his bed and put him in my dads bed.

Then my dad would hop in to his brothers warm bed and read a book for an hour or so before putting his younger brother back where he belonged and getting in to his own nice warm bed.

I have a 1 year younger sister and although we got on great when small (and now when we're older) there was a phase in our early teens when we'd fight all the time, proper fisticuffs too at times.
She kicked me in the balls once, mostly by accident, but hell I'm remember the pain until this day.

My sister is two and a bit years older than me. Up until I was about 11 I'd say, I thought my purpose on this planet was to just annoy her all the time.

Copped on about then and realised that my sister is one of the best friends I'll ever have!

eeeee

That is hilarious!

I terrorized my younger sister, in variously evil forms. Feel a bit guilty now though But she survived. We live together now. Would NOT have predicted that from back in the day! :eek:

We used to play 'murder in the dark' ... where, usually on a sunday night, we would draw the curtains and turn off the lights in the dining room and beat the living **** out of each other....no one knew who they got a box from but we couldn't roar or scream too much otherwise the mother would come in and end the 'fun' ....

I remember my sister (who is two years older than me and always used to terrorize me, in fact I could be hear all day listing the things she done) asked me what the capital of Thailand was and then of course she said Bangkok and kicked me as hard as I can in the goulies.
I was rolling around the ground on pain crying and I was only about 5. So the next day I asked her the same question and before she could answer I kicked her as hard as I could between her legs. She rolled around the ground crying also but I did again because I ended up breaking a bone in my foot.

Not exactly terrorising but more like a good natured laugh

In 2004, I was bowled over by GTA San Andreas. Flying a fighter jet along happily. Pause game go into kitchen for a few minutes, make a great mug of tea, and went back to playing.

Unpause. WHAT? Tip of plane 2 feet above ground level pointing 90 degrees down.
PULL UP, PULL UP!!. WASTED.

"You bollix", I laughed
Thunderous roar of laughter from far corner of house from my 10 year old brother.

Story still makes me smile!

No...me & my younger brother used to terrorize everyone else.

We moved home to Ireland from Kilburn in London in the late 70's as young teenagers, to Darndale in north county Dublin.

After running the gauntlet with the local 'lads' once too often, we teamed up for a reckoning...

From that day on we were nicknamed 'The Kray Twins' because of our cockney accents & our propensity for violence & were pretty much left alone after that

My lovely sibs used to tell me they put spiders in my bed, just to watch the hysterics. And they hid in the house and kept calling the phone and just breathing, after we watched a movie called 'When A Stranger Calls'. I was afraid of being left alone in the house for years. One of them climbed up a ladder and scratched at my bedroom window after we watched 'Salem's Lot'.

They also kept telling me I was adopted and my Roma mother would steal me back to live in a tent, that I was found on the doorstep covered in dog poo, and sometimes that they found me with my tongue stuck to the window on a cold night, and that they farted on the towels before I used them.

Normal stuff
