Normal 9 year old behaviour?

Aibu to keep moaning at my 9 yo? I feel like im moaning at my son constantly and i go to bed feeling so guilty, but then the next day comes and it's like de ja vu. As i said he's 9, but acts like my 2yo. He is very immature, has no common sense and has little empathy for others. He wont share with his brother but wants to play with his brothers toys. Will watch his brother hurt himself then come to me smiling saying he's hurt. Will allow his brother to bite him them come to me crying about it. If someone plays a joke on him or laughs at him when he falls over he gets angry and starts having a tantrum, if his brother (or anyone in the immediate family) accidentally bump into him he has to hit them and have the last hit/touch. If he doesnt want to do something (shopping, park, farm, walk) he will have a face on him and just create a horrible atmosphere. He has to have his way. Will moan about having to have a wash/bath/brush teeth. If we are watching a film at night and i fall asleep, he will wake me up to put him to bed, not ask dad or just put him self to bed. He just doesnt seem to care about anyone but him self. We went swimming and he jumped from the pool side onto his swimming dadd back, and he didnt care then denyed he even did it. He doesn't acknowledge any if his bad behaviour or apologise for anything. At school he is so quiet and shy. Im at my wits end. Is this normal behaviour? Sorry for long post.

I can only speak from my own experience of 2 ds but I wouldn't say it's normal behaviour but I wouldn't be massively worried - I dont have any advice I'm afraid but I'm sure someone will come along with plenty. All I will say is don't feel guilty I'm sure with time it can be smoothed over FlowersFlowers
