Is it my obligation to my brother to do transactions regarding his very personal matter? I am ready to help but I guess I should put some limitation… What do you think friends? Thanks….

prime hi again.well yes you are your brother's keeper but only to so far. He does have to eventually stand on his own two feet. You have a life too ,and if I remember right you have a love of your own too on my lot if I am not mistaken. Guide your brother but let him do his own footwork and pay some' attention to your own life and love too.Good luck to you and to your brother too.

It all depends on the task and your brother. If your brother is the type of guy who doesn't mind you asking to help him , then help him. But.. if he is like me, and he wants to to things his own way , alone. then just step back and let him do it. Be there if he asks for help but don't push.

There are some things family should do for one another but if it makes one or both parties feel awkward, then that thing should be done alone, or another person should help. I feel like you should just let your brother know that maybe it's not a good idea to help him in his personal matters, if you don't feel comfortable with it.

thank you for this thoughtful response my friend yes I agree with that now somehow, he should solve it by himself... it is not neglecting him in any way.... it is just letting him to work out in order for him to learn from the thing we had been through at this moment.... God bless friend....

You are right that you must put limitation. I have a brother , just a year younger than me but he's too immature. When he got some problem I tried to talk to him and give him suggestions. Letting them think in their ways may teach them how to become independent.

prime it is very normal to us to help our brother and sister in time they need our help..the member of family first who will be the one who call for help before getting into other..but we have to put it up with a limitation..sometimes we have to neglect for call of help, to let it them do it for there self when we know that they can..we have to put a limitation to aware to depend on us every time they are in trouble..we have to do this to stand for there own problem and to learn to fight with it and to solve for there own problem..do this for there own good..

I think brothers and sisters should help each other but there are limits and every situation is different. If I had a brother who is either very sick or mentally ill, I feel I should help him a lot. But if he leans on me just because it is easier, I would set limits for his own sake. People have to grow and we must let them grow. I just answered a post from one of my friends. She was irate with a 64 year old man who came to see his very elderly parents and let them rake leaves and do the garden while he was inside resting. The man is not ill: he is spoiled. I say that because I just had notice that he was leaving his parents house to go hunting. If he can hunt, so he can help, I imagine. Help a bit but live your life. And set limitations. Luck!!!
