[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]52 year old brother hasn’t had a job in 25 years at least. About 25-20 years ago he was working waiter jobs and catering.  He’d always quit or get fired because he thinks he’s too good for the rules (ie. No smoking anytime you want). Then, hanging out with a bunch of loser waiters led to him drinking too much and doing a lot of drugs. Parents just enable him and pay for absolutely everything because they “don’t want him out on the street”. Makes my blood boil when he calls every few days asking for money. [/quote]

Same with my BIL.  He gets bailed out of every bad decision he has made or every bad behavior.

He never has had any consequences to his decisions or behaviors. No vices or drugs or rampant spending, but dumb stuff like Taking a 1 month vacation before a big work deadline and never finishing the work. Poor work ethic or habits so gets on probation or PIP within a year and the free. Sleeps in until 2pm in his parents house where he still lives. [/quote]
