My Brother is a bad seed but I love him. He did not take advantage of opportunities provided by my parents. My family is very middle class and the seed had the clothes, associations, love and supports just like other middle class families. He just took a wrong and different path. He is a member of the rap generation and I really attribute many of his behaviors with that thug culture.
While my brother has several kids, he supports them, spends time with them and is actually a caring parent. He lacks in the area of providing example by education and culture. I don't have time to think of the best way of describing things better but I want the girls to be in the clubs like jack and jill, the deb balls, top ladies and take dance and so forth. He does not understand the importance of shaping a child and presenting positive relations to children. He hated this type of thing which he calls middle class supreamacy while I am very supportive. Anyway, I give the girls culture and exposure to things that I value. I don't have kids and so my brother's kids, in particular two of them, are like mine.
Again, while my brother is not what he should be, he is a caring loving and supportive parent.

Dear Prof. I applaud your efforts with helping your brother for HIS responsibility, which he is avoiding for whatever reason...
I think you are making some inroads to staving off the situation at least in your immediate family... That is the best each of us educated AA can do given the circumstances...
It sounds like your brother is playing dangerously with his life... The next time he impregnants a woman stupid enough to want to have his child, he might become HIV+ by that time... Then all his little girls as well as his new child will have no father--which may or may not be that much different as it is now...
How long are you going to back him up to do wrong and why is that your responsibility? When is he going to take charge of his own life and make postive choices for himself other than a pregnancy test or an AIDS test? Just asking? I really want to know, because I have a lunatic fringe brother also who is beginning to neglect his ONE son because he says he no longer loves his son's mother he's married to, currently... Moreover, his fodder he uses to justify why he treats his son's mother chitty is because she is caucasian and his son is biracial...
