I finally had the guts to talk to my brother and tell him our standing with regards to his work..Told him that his attitude,drinking and absents is affecting our business, I ask him if he has problems with the work or the schedule,I told him if he will not change i'll be oblige to fire him so as not to affect our only source of income..
He didn't say anything ,never utter at least a word..
After we talked , he went out,thought he went home but not.. just now he went here drunk,telling my mother he is so mad at me..I didn't go out to talk to him because i know i did not do anything wrong..
I'm so sorry my co-myloters ,I knew i did what i have to..I'm just so sad that it went this way...Thanx to all of you for listening and sharing your thoughts..

no worries,it is the right thing to do,though it is ruthless to say it in front of your brother.but what you did is help to forsake a bad habit and save your business,life is long and I thought he will forgive you when he calm down

you are right ynowiziki, its so rude talking things like that to your brother but running down all what i told him,i can say that i did not do or say anything wrong..i just told him what needs to be said..
Hopefully he can find time to forgive as a business woman.and praying that he understands what my point is,anyway its for all of us..

I support you. You've done the right thing which you should do. It's wise for you to choose not indulge your brother and give him the kind reminder to be more positive about the work. You are doing good to him, although at that moment he might think you hurt him.Sooner or later, he will understand and be grateful to you.

Hi there tamirs!!
I think your brother needs some time to digest what you have told him.Maybe at that moment all the things that you've said hadn't reach him.And maybe he just need some more space and thinking to be able to decide what he's gotta do with his life.
Your brother may not yet realize the effect of what he is doing in his life.Sooner of later in God's time, when he finally realize that he is wrong, maybe he'll be a better person.But you need to help him to make that happen.

never mind, as long as you do right way. remember, you have family, you can't always protect your brother. you have responsibility to your family, not to your brother.

Obviously it bothered him. Do you think, depending on you of course you should continue this dialog? You could tell him that when you speak to him, he should talk back to you not run to his mother and that he will not solve his problems (for long) by drinking or you could be silent if you feel you have had your say and that is enough. Your choice. It is ok to share, I hope you resolve things and remain calm.
