if youve communicated kindly to mother and brother about these things and your brother still is abusing the computer privilege, you have every right to have and communicate boundaries. its not always the parent that sets and enforces rules, sometimes the child ends up in a situation where the parent (and siblings) need to hear some hard truths too!

i wish you well in dealing the best you can and setting boundaries. it sounds like youve been communicating in a pretty mature way which is a lot more than some people of any age can say, so i commend you on that. communication and limits are hard for many so i hope youll continue with those. its hard i know but its important for everyone, and this is clearly a situation that you can practice those skills you seem to have

best wishes and stay kind and strong.
