[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask your parents: “Larlo is at an age where he’s curious about how the world works and what adults do. How would you like me to explain to him that uncle doesn’t work or go to school? What do you want me to tell him when he asks about how uncle spends his days?”[/quote] I don’t see how this is rude. [b]And if OP is still reading I am curious how her parents respond when people ask about their son. Or better yet, what does the brother say when someone asks him directly? [/b] Inquiring about work is such a common conversation filler that it’s hard to imagine that they don’t have stock answers for these questions. It’s like getting offended that someone commented on the weather. [/quote] OP here. I can only think of one extended family gathering where we overheard someone ask how my brother keeps himself busy these days, and he said something vague like "you know, this and that." [/quote] So ask him yourself? You keep avoiding why you don't just have the hard conversation instead of putting your 7 yr old up to the task. Say "what gives, brother? When do you plan on getting off your ass and getting a job?" [/quote]
