If this were a young man say... in his early twenties, then I could see where you might be able to put your 2 cents in.
I love my brother, who is 44, but, I am past trying to teach him anything that he doesn't ask me to teach him.
People will ask when they want to know. Your brother isn't asking. Let him figure it out on his own. He is an adult. You both have your own choices to make. You can't control people. You can only control yourself.
My brother isn't voting for the candidate that I am voting for. I have politely stopped talking to him about my political views on the candidate that I am for. He doesn't want to hear it.
I love my brother, just as you love yours. I try to allow him his free will.
Give your brother breathing room. If he wants your advice. He will ask you for it. Then it will be welcomed advice, more easily received by him.
God that says it all perfectly.
I hope I was clear on the fact that I don't try to force my ways upon him or change him to be more like me. These feelings are mostly kept to myself........my other brother knows and feels the same but we just let him go because you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
He is just the kind of person that waits for things to happen and then complains when they don't.........instead of going out and MAKING them happen.
He will do no scouting all year and then complain that he didn't see any deer..........shoots his gun a couple days before the season if at all and then complains when he misses.
AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH HHH!!!!!!!!
God Bless him..........I couldn't live that way.
Hopefully he will be here awhile on Wed and I will just make sure he is hitting the mark before I let him leave.
If he wasn't my brother I would crack him over the head with my thermos bottle
