My brother got a MIP for drinking last night. He text me this morning and asked me to pay the ticket for him so my grandparents don't find out. After much thought and talking to my aunt and uncle I've decided to do it. The ticket is $235 and he will be paying me back over time. When it comes down to it, I just don't want to upset my grandparents. They didn't ask for this responsibility... Of course, none of us did.
I feel as if I have let my brother down. I feel like I've been a bad role model. Despite the fact I didn't drink until I was 21, whenever he's here there always seems to be a party. Maybe it's my fault for exsposing him to this.
I also have to consider he's 17 and going through more than most kids his age... and he's not a kid. When I was his age most of my friends drank and I've been drinking with Marty since he was 16.
I just wish my parents were here to deal with it. I am making him come stay with me for a week to get him away from his friends.
Any advice/encouragement?
