I (16F) have a younger brother (13M) who is autistic. This time, my mom is forcing me to take him along when I go out with my friend because she says “he’ll be sad” if I leave him behind. The thing is, he’s not just a sweet little kid who wants to spend time with me—he’s addicted to his computer, barely passing 6th grade even with help and easier materials, and he’s honestly pretty mean to me most of the time.

My dad was supposed to drive me and my friend and stay with us, but my mom still insists my brother has to come. I just wanted some time with my friend, but she says I’m being selfish for not including him. It’s not like he usually wants to spend time with me—he’d rather be on his computer all day.

I feel like my mom is being unfair and making this my responsibility when it shouldn’t be. AITA for not wanting to take him with me?
