my youngest brother is definitely the favorite. He's never punished (my mom threatens to ground him and never goes through with it because he uses "but mom" and whines until she gives in because she is very weak) and is allowed to sit on his arse and play video games all the time and when I turn off the tv and tell him to do something, he just yells "OH MY GOSH KARI" over and over and stomps around, but never does anything..

...And he gets away with that, too. Also he's rather mouthy and doesn't get punished for THAT either. "Oh that's just his personality" my dad says. "Punishing him would be telling him not to be himself" he says. Pffft.
