[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 713268, member: 16024"] Just to clarify--I don't consider it enabling when my brother (or anyone else) watches their grandkids. I meant that he enables by helping his adult kids and their husbands get/keep housing by paying their rent and utilities, getting friends to rent to them (then he feels obligated to pay the friends when his kids don't) getting the husbands jobs with friends (that the husbands often screw up), giving them money, food, etc. He feels that if he doesn't help, they will either have to come live with him and his wife or will be homeless and loose the kids to foster care, Which he can't bear. It is such a difficult situation, and my brother feels stuck and without any good options. If he were wealthy, it wouldn't be so bad, but they have been going through lean times, and money is very tight. It is a catch 22. [/QUOTE]
