I recently had a disagreement with my brother and we had not been in a very good terms as before. All these been transmitted when I became a single mother, and he got married. Our siblings relationship make a huge turn where now we don't see eye to eye anymore. The Chinese has a saying goes that 'it's good to see, but it's hard to live' and I am in such a situation now. I don't agree that he loaf freely at home, where everything was paid for, and he just not working. On the other hand, as I am a single mother, my mum has put loads of pressure on me. I am now thinking of moving out.. Are you able to live under a same roof with a big family?

If that is the way with your brother, then maybe it is your mother who should have the final say of his bad actions, since she owns the house. It will really be difficult with you if you still have to include your brother and his family in your budget just because he lives with all of you in one roof. It should have been that they also give their share of common expenses in the house. I guess, if you can , then you can live separately with them.

Simplyd I totally agree with your comment. and yes, I can't be including them in my budget as I have my own sets of issues too.. I just can't understand how a big 30 years old still unable to make up his mind on what his future be like.. sign..

Hello there... I'm sorry that you have been going through so much... I've been through a lot lately. So I can feel it... If your brother isn't earning then why did he marry? He should, now at least, go out and look for a job... Moving out might be tough for you, living alone etc with your baby. But that seems a nice option. And yet, you need to think of your brother, if he is dependent on you.. Good Luck Miss...
