[quote=Anonymous]He and his wife are divorced. He's always broke despite a 100K per year job (in upstate NY). Pays no alimony, one son lives with him and is mostly self-sufficient, i.e. pays for his own college, etc. Youngest is 15. Brother came with youngest son to visit me at the beach and spend 90% of the time stoned (thought I didn't notice) and as a result, his behavior was obnoxious. Volunteered for me to take youngest home with me until August 1 - in front of him. He really wanted to come, so I did. Came home early with him because one of our family pets is very ill with just-discovered cancer. Might send him back earlier than anticipated, but cat will probably have to be euthanized today as the tumor in this throat is impairing his ability to eat. Husband is a mess as that cat is his baby - raised him from a kitten. He's only 5. My eldest is stepping in to take his cousin out today while we are at the vet. Thank goodness my nephew is a great, understanding kid and is no trouble to have around. Just the pressure of touring as he wants to go into DC, though my kids volunteered to take him in for us.

I'm just sick of my brother's irresponsible behavior - before he left to drive home, he took the ice bin out of the freezer to use some for his cooler, forgot to put it back, and it was in the corner of the kitchen by the coffee maker so I didn't even realize he did it. Came back from the beach a few hours later to find water all over the counter - could have been a disaster if it got on the wood floor. He's also left the grill on all night. It's one careless thing after another with an 'oh, sorry'. He's in his early 50s now. Should be more responsible.

Just wanted to vent. Thx.[/quote]
