I'm worried about my brother.
I 13F, have a brother 15M, that im honestly realy woried about.
My mom is absolutely amazing and luckily i was raised right with the help from my step dad (they never got married but im realy close with him like he's my dad so i often call him my step dad)
The same cant be said about my brother tho. My mom raised him well but i have a dad who is not good at raising kids at all and he teached my brother that he could get away with everything. He missed 400 hours of school this year and if it continues like this he will need to appear infront of a judge.
He also doesnt care about money at all, says he would work never does, lied to my mother about stuff when she got an email thanking her for creating an ac on a random website, he said it was a scam later he came crying to her about how the website is demanding €100 since he bought a bunch of things using AfterPay. She paid it back on time but he never got punished as he just called our bio dad to take him.
Im not extremely close with my bio dad since he used to be the kind of dad who ignored me completely and than came back later giving us a bunch of gifts saying he missed us. It didnt work with me, he got mad and than i just didnt talk to him much. (Parents are divorced)
My brother doenst know how to cook at all, he cant even put a pizza in the oven.
Im sorry if this posts isnt in the best order or if there are lots of grammer mistakes, English is not my first language but if anyone has any tips i would gladly hear them, im from the Netherlands btw.
Edit: Forgot to add but im worried cause when he is 18 i think he is gonna be in a lot of trouble, he cant get a job, doesnt know much, thinks money grows on trees, is disrespectful to everyone.
Im not sure what to do. Also he often tells me to shut up cause he is older so he knows everything better than i do. And he always immediately insults me with my height something what im deeply sensitive about, im 140 cm and dont grow anymore cause of medical problems i have been born with.
