my brother is taking advantage of my father

January 17, 2008 9:47pm CST
my brother is forever on my dad's case for money something or other. he is constantly dipping into my dads pockets. he does not pay rent when my dad has already given him money, he runs out of gas all the time, has to be recued by my dad, who then has to put money in his car. he has also used my dads credit card details without him knowing and my dad found out and nothing came of it. he takes the mickey big time. my dad wont see him go without even though my brother does not even have to try. my dad set him up in business and months later the rent wasnt paid, stock wasnt paid for....etc... how can i tell my dad to put some distance between him and my brother?

Are you the big or little brother? Maybe you should point out all of those things to you dad and explain the difference of babying the son and being a father. You should also have a sit down with your brother and put him in his place... family values are key and so is order. So for a family member to take advantage of another is crossing the line, maybe its time you show them where those lines are?
