My brother is very lazy, doesn't even want to do the simplest things?

My brother 16 sleeps on the weekend until 10-11 approx. And immediately after he is awake for 5 minutes, if at all, he goes to his Ps4 and plays. He doesn't even have breakfast because he's too lazy for that. He then mostly looks at what's sweet that can be quickly eaten. Then he plays all day without breaks. The only break would be around 7 a.m., where he walks the dog for 20 minutes. Then back to the console. Around 10 o'clock he then walks the dog again for 20 minutes. Then he continues to play until 11 or 12 o'clock. Or when there's dinner in the evening, he briefly switches off the ps4. But sometimes he eats it while he's playing. His whole room isn't exactly tidy. My father and I always have to do everything in the apartment. With a small task like folding laundry, he doesn't get it right and you have to persuade him for a long time. He leaves everything somewhere. Except for the 2 walks and a few small pats, he doesn't care about the dog. On the contrary, he lets himself be sucked off, not even that interests him. He never wants to go out with me, even half an hour is too much for him. Yesterday was his birthday and we were in town, and as soon as we got his things he wanted to go home. In the 4 weeks of school he was not at school twice (skipped) and left once earlier. After school he always goes to play straight away. Until 9.10 a.m. For example, I always walk with our dog for 2 hours a day and play with him, occupy myself with him more during the day and also learn a little on the weekend and still he thinks he would do more with the dog and I very little. The bad thing is my dad doesn't care. I don't know how many times I've tried to talk to him but it doesn't work. My father just says yes, talk to him. But my father is always upset that he doesn't help us. He says we have to talk to him, violence doesn't help. Then I try to tell him that I just want to reduce gambling, but he doesn't. The ps4 was off for a few hours at most, but then he obviously felt sorry for my brother. What can you do? Now he even tries to walk only one of the 2 dog walks that he has to walk. He doesn't say the length but how often you go. Then he would have to do even less. My father agrees with him. What do you think about it?

Addicted to gambling. If he doesn't do anything, he doesn't care. Let him do his own laundry, don't make him eat, serve him, or give him money for nothing. Talk to the school. And turn off the power in an emergency.

I'm going to assume that your brother you and Fein's father live alone together because you don't write anything about your mother.

That's up to your father, I find it very regrettable that he doesn't care and forbids his son to do so.

That would be out of the question with me, I don't understand how your father can tolerate something like that. You should talk to him, what kind of attitude is that. The only thing I could advise you that you maybe talk to an employee in the youth welfare office, maybe she can help you and if I were you, it would at least be worth a try because.

It's not a state of affairs with your brother, I think that's impossible.

As a father, I would do a lot with the two of you that he would have no time and no desire for the PS4.

Have fun 🙋

But if I go to the youth welfare office, both of them would see it as treason. And maybe never forgive me again. Because our mother told a lot of wrong things there and my father almost lost us. That is why the youth welfare office had an eye on us earlier and if my mother finds out, she will try everything so that we can no longer live with him

First of all: you are not his legal guardian. What he does is none of your business and you can't command him to do anything.

And to be honest, I don't see what's going to be so bad now either. He likes to play. So what? Leave him, what has that got to do with you?

And he goes out with the dog 2 times a day and you also 2 times a day for 2 hours each? Which dog has to go out 4 times a day for hours? Chill out.

If you want him to do more household chores, talk to your father. Let him talk to your brother then.

I honestly didn't understand what the problem was. Sounds to me like a completely normal 16 year old boy who just doesn't want to be annoyed.

Exaggerate

He even talks about his gambling in his sleep. It's really just about playing day after day.

As I said… You are not his mother and it is none of your business. If it annoys you, just ignore it and don't operate it. Should he do his stuff himself. Is not your problem.
