    How to convince brother to trade rooms?
    So my bro is 13, I'm 11. His room is bigger then mine and I have more stuff. My mom said we can trade rooms but he doesn't want to. What should I do?

    If it was me, I would just deal with it. My older sister got the bigger room when I was a kid...I just dealt with it.

    What's mean about that?
    Older kids always get the perks. That's life.
    Saying you have more stuff and therefore deserve the big room is like me saying I'm fatter than my sister and therefore should get more dessert.

    Actually it would be like sying your fatter so you don't get any dessert you should try salad and exersising and being pretty like me !

    You don't get to tell people what to say and not say here. Maybe this site isn't for you. You don't even realize that your analogy about salad and being thin just ruined your argument about deserving the bigger room.

    It's a general principle that the eldest gets the biggest room etc. I am curious about what more stuff you have that you think entitles you. More clothes or furniture or what?

    Maybe you can offer your brother some incentive to agree to the switch, like taking on some of his chores.

    Hmm no chores? Your parents are missing a bet to teach you both some responsibility. Yep, I would call you spoiled. I was going to mention you should be happy you have your own room. I didn't have my own room until my older brother moved out on his own.

    Oh yes, I can read just fine...I often say things when people specifically point out that they don't want to hear it...especially if it's the truth.

    You sound like you are very impressed with yourself and that's really not a good quality to have.
