I do. Also the guilt trip from the folks about “setting a proper example” and being a good “role mode” for him. He’s a good dude though.

i got two younger brothers, one i'm real good friends with and we go to festivals and parties etc together all the time, the other lives pretty far away and i barely see him. he's all about having a gf and going on day trips at the weekend. got a lil sis as well, but that's another matter

Not me

by **terminus** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 11:47 am

he's going through a major depressive episode/quarter life crisis flunking out of college and my dad texts me every morning complaining that he doesn't get out of bed until 3pm. i relate to that, but i don't really know how to help him. somehow i'm not perceived as the failson.

this is where "ante up" enters the equation

by **chad** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:06 pm

I have one. He's 15 and very good at math/chess/general nerd stuff but I'm worried about his social skills

by **chad** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:13 pm

Like he gets invited to weird competitions at Harvard and MIT but is bad at communicating. Very engineer-y way of articulation already. I am a little nervous about it. Plus we have a really overbearing mother.

two younger bros and we're all in our 30's.

We couldn't be more different however we share a common bond with watching sports on tv

mine's 29. still lives at home. occasionally gets a job but only ends up doing it for a month or so before he quits. unemployed atm. has lived overseas a few times when he manages to save up enough money (he's done this at least 5 times) but eventually comes back to my parents place when he spends it all. he's obsessed with cleanliness. is undiagnosed. i think he has minor ocd and maybe some anxiety issues but then somehow manages to go live in LA for 2 months by himself and crashes parties in vegas hosted by scott dissick, so probably not entirely anxiety related? i think he just hates work and has some stupid belief that he's going to get rich without trying. he's currently reading books about the stock market.

mum broke down at a dinner once because she doesn't know what to do with him. i'm real afraid i'm going to have to look after him when they die. just wish he's get a job and move out.

by **Milk** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 6:22 pm

my brother's 40 and i'm 39 so we're basically on the same level. There's not even quite 13 months separating us.

by **blurst of times** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 6:24 pm

my little bro is 29 and just bought a really nice house in our hometown. i'm gonna be spending a few days with him next week.

we used to fight a lot as kids and were kind of indifferent to each other as adults for a while, but last year i planned his bachelor party and was the best man at his wedding, and i think we're a lot closer now. we're probably gonna see a star war together, as is our (new) tradition.

by **oomphull** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 6:39 pm

yeah, i have a younger brother. He joined the football military in middle school and served tours all the way through college. Now he's a high school coach and seems to have this hive-mind of friends from high school that travels as a swarm. Damndest thing. Good guy. Hard to get to.

by **Buddy Knox** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 6:41 pm

Yeah, he's 28 and in the middle of an ugly divorce. He's hoping to get full custody of his son because his wife is incapable of properly caring for him. I let him move into my apartment and I moved out and back in with my old roommates. He does project management for a formwork manufacturer and is a bartender on the weekends. People often think he's my older brother in spite of him being 4 years younger. He looks like an in-shape version of me. It's bizarre.

irrevocable damage

it really bothers me how much i influenced them socially and interests-wise. whenever we're together around friends they make fun of us for looking and acting so similarly.

we spent every waking moment together for 12-15 years and then i left for school and now we talk to one another once a month, if that, or just during holiday dinners and family events

by **shark week** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 7:30 pm

there's no way my brothers should have looked up to me but that's just how it worked out. i was a pretty high performer in school and constantly had the approval of my folks. my folks then wielded this against my brothers in terms of expectations. my parents still practice these same comparison tactics but now i am the fallen son and my middle brother is the high performer.

by **dmitry** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 7:36 pm

having a younger brother might just be my defining characteristic
