“Love this podcast. Jordana, you may not have a degree, but I think you are spot on with so many situations! Thoughtful and kind, but firm. And tells it like it is, IMO. Your sister is also great.
About the freeloading brother. This needs to be addressed ASAP. Not only to improve him as a human being moving through the world. Eventually something will happen where the family need to pull together. Parents age and have issues, a tragic accident. And this guy will need to pull his share or he’ll just sit back and let everyone else do all the heavy lifting. Not ponying up for the occasional dinner is one thing, monthly assisted living payments are quite another.
Don’t ignore iffy family dynamics in your 30’s. It won’t always be a quick yearly visit where you can hold your tongue and roll your eyes. Often there comes a time you really must work together. Especially if there are only a couple siblings.”
