Questions: Family & Friends

If so which do you prefer?

I enjoy both depending on the person/situation. Whether male or female friends. I find it weird some people find hanging out one on one with friends is weird, particularly two guys or a guy and a girl. Like I've always done that... I'm a straight male but there's only been two female friends I've been attracted to (and I've had a few).

My older brother is lazy and entitled and broke. He refuses to get a proper job or take responsibility for his adult life. He claims he has a disability but he refuses to try to get disability payments. He’s argued with me many times and can’t see that he is to blame for his own situation. He wants me to look after him his whole life. If I ever have the money to buy him a house, should I? Do I have an obligation to help him even tho he refuses to take even small steps to help himself? What do you think? He refuses to take any steps to help himself. Should I help him? If I don’t he won’t have anywhere to live if I moved out

This question is for mothers, but others can chime in too.

The financial reality for most families with children today is that both parents need to work to remain financially stable. My perception has always been that most mothers want to work and would prefer not to be home full time with their children. But a Gallop poll actually showed the opposite, that a majority of mothers, whether employed or not, actually would prefer to be home with their children if they could afford it.

I'm curious how the mothers of GAG feel. Please share your opinions.
