Its like God knew I needed this!!!!! Wait He did! Thanks for this post! Irritating things happen in our family all the time! Being a middle child I get it from both ends. My older siblings when they lived with us were super irritating and now with them gone my little brother has nothing better todo then irritate me. Well, maybe he doesn't do it on purpose all the time. :) Thanks again for the encouragement! Wow! Its like God knew I needed this!!!!! Wait He did! Thanks for this post!

Ever read Screwtape Letters, Grace? He talks about how we think that everything is “ours” or “our right.” When we get real, we realize it’s not. And I have a lot of getting real to do.

They can be very irritating sometimes but I just look to God for an answer and a way to be nice even when they aren't! I was overjoyed when I say your post because there are more people out there who share my same issue of siblings! But they love you more than anything I have found that out over the years! In one year I will be babysitting and my Mom keeps reminding me to be a leader to those younger kids so your post really helped me on so many levels so thank you!

Being the second oldest in a family of 7, (5 kids), I definitely don't have it as bad as those younger than myself, but I still get irritated often. Praise the Lord that He has shown me that those irritations are like a refining fire- It has the tendency to soften the rough edges, and to make me more like Christ. It also gives me a chance to demonstrate Christ-like behavior to my siblings. I never like the fire, but it's essential! I totally agree!

My Dad was just talking to me about being irritated with my siblings last night. I'm the oldest of four kids, which means that whatever I do, they do. It's my responsibility to set a good example and if I get irritated at them, then that shows them that it's okay to do that. Also, getting irritated at them doesn't help the situation at all. it just makes it worse. Heidi, You could try to find a way to communicate with him that might not irritate him. Or you could be calm and try your best to not do things that he doesn't like. I've never heard of a case like yours but if I were in you situation, I would try one or both of those suggestions. When my younger brother start to get irritated, I try to figure why or what is irritating him, then try to help. Awesome post!!!!!!!

He is autistic and has some kind of mental illness. He doesn't know how to relate and comunicate normally with people, so he uses extreme irritation as his most common form of talking. He has real anger issues and can't stand talking. He broke one of the car mirrors once because of people talking in the car. I just get so frustrated and annoyed by the way he acts and treats people. Any advice for this special case, or am I to try harder and not retaliate and let him get to me? Anyways, great article! My brother is an extreme irritant.
