What would you do in this situation?

So I'm going back home from college for my spring break to my family. I really need to study while I'm home, but the issue is with my older brother. I'm basically his only friend, and while I'm gone (which is basically almost all the time), he's very lonely. All he is able to do is play video games alone, and my parents are simply too busy to notice him. So when I go home, I'm certain the only thing he will want to do is play with me. But I simply can't afford that. What should I do? o.o >.<

[quote=silkym39]@TheDudeAbides He actually has a physical disability, which is why it's so hard for him to make friends, given that it's hard for him to walk.
@321fhsks That sounds like a very possible idea! <3
@AugustRain That's the last thing I want to be to him.

On a side note, you guys should be grateful for what you have. It's surprising how fragile we are.[/quote]

i dont wanna bash u cus idk whats ur relationship is like w/ ur brother, but rn you sound remarkably petty. you got tests. i get it. studying should be a priority. but for #$%*'s sake, youre on spring break. or why go home. your poor bro's got a physical disability that hinders him from making friends. be a good sister and spend time with him.

@Rianael I've already told him I need to study and why, but I know him very well and he'll still try to distract me. I really can't blame him though. I'd do the same if my only friend came to town for a week.

Tell him you're busy for studying, etc. I hate when people don't tell me whats going on and avoid me till its over. Lol, imo just tell him.

Get him a puppy or maple girlfriend to keep him busy.

sorry, just had to point that out, immature.

play with him rough so he won't want to play with you anymore

ayyyy this sounds like my life exactly
spend time with him during the day, but have all time between 5 or 3PM or however early you need to start each night be study time so you can take care of business

i'm assuming your brother is autistic here. So discuss it with your family and maybe they, or you, can hire him a caretaker or something like the big brother program. My wrestling coach always brings along this autistic kid (he might be related to him, im not sure) to our meets and stuff and we all kinda hang out with him between matches, he seems to enjoy it tons
