Q My mother, who is widowed and in her late 70s, keeps bailing out my younger brother financially. This is despite not being well-off herself and my brother being 42 and perfectly able to get a job.
He and his wife live near my mother whereas my husband and I are 100 miles away. He has never really worked or been responsible for himself, even though he has a wife and children. They are on benefits and don't seem to have ever wanted to work.
