today my mom got really upset. my little brother had been annoying her.
but that's not all.
later he was bored, so he started annoying me. and then he scratched me. it wasn't bad, but it bled, and still stings. he has claws like heck!!
so i told on him and my mom yelled at him saying, "if you scratch one more person, ill scratch you with a knife!!"
i asked her if she wasn't going a bit overboard, but she said "no, he needs to learn".

help! i feel...like can't do anything but have to...

Mothers' tend to over exaggerate sometimes. It's really nothing to worry about. Your little brother sounds like he lacks discipline, and she's trying to change that. It's probably what's making her "fed up".

Well im a trained baby sitter and im sorta nannying right now. I kinda agree with ur mom kids need to learn but not in tht way, a spanking time out or a method should be used but knifes is to much. i think u should talk to ur brother, a strn talking to and make him aplogize

yea I agree with Lawrence. Sounds like she was just stressed out and she over exaggerated. You don't actually believe she's going to scratch your brother with a knife do you? I think she was joking. I suggest to just take it with a grain of salt. When her tone begins to be serious and she starts making real threats, then maybe you should get concerned, but I think just sounds like a typical family quarrel.

Our family never spanks. As far as I know, only my sister got spanked once when she was about 3 or so.

Yeah...
I've tried that. Never works.

Knowing that she was already annoyed I don't think telling on him was the right thing to do anyway.

Exactly. She has obviously already acknowledged his behaviour. You should have just let it be.

your mom sure took that threat far, but i'm sure that she wasn't intending to mean it
she just wants him to learn i guess. but maybe do something fun with ur brother to distract him from annoying her and you so that way u don't need to feel uncomfortable with her threats
