#Giving my brother more independence

why does bro have a therapist
anyways yes talk to your parents, being pampered like this will do nothing but make his future miserable and unnecessarily difficult
that, i got no clue tho he prolly has some form of communicational disorder
every time my mom brings up the topic of John Robert Powers and talks about my brother's progress, i frequently play devil's advocate
and tell her that this is just a waste of her money
cause in the end, he can choose to listen or ignore what they taught him
he's been spoiled like this for years, not just by his mom, but his nanny, who is slowly getting fed up with his shenanigans too
that would explain it
this, this is what it all builds up to
its not about the parents' effort in the end, its what the child chooses to do
yes
id say, try talking to your brother first
that's what i'll do when mom is not around
yeah good likc
and maybe question the therapist too
exactly
get his opinion, and then talk to your parents about it
follow the societical norm
this is different in every place, there is no generalized norm, and people look down on following the crowd too
yeah
oh well, chinese parenting stereotype
it should give them a sense of whether what they're doing is truly helpin or not
i gues?
ðŸ˜
exactly
i remember what my current therapist told me:
"the eldest is usually the "experiment" for a parent"
maybe she saw thru her mistakes of abusing me but does a more subtle form of it on ny brother
that isnt really wrong ðŸ˜
perhaps
yeah since eldest child is usually their first shot at parenting, unless they've ever been a babysitter or something
yup
they tend to change their method on the younger children
true
well yeah i've said all I can say with certainty, good luck trying to talk to your parents about it man
thank you, and i'll see what i can do
aight
