Both my parents are old enough to retire and collect social security and their pensions.

My brother is 43 yrs old, has a full time job, uses 3 of the 4 bedrooms at my parents home. 1 room for himself, 2 other rooms for his kids

My brother pays $1200/month to my parents for rent

The normal rent for a 3 bedroom home in that area is a $2300 and up

My parents just paid the house of 2 months ago. They are now asking my sister and I to help out with paying the taxes .

My parents have told me I will receive 25% ownership of the house, my brother living with them 50%, and sister the remaining 25% after they pass. (No favoritism there)

I told my brother “how much do you need?” (So I can pay 25% of the taxes). He said “I don’t know”

My mother then said “your father and I want to retire, we would like you, brother and sister to pay the taxes.”

I asked if the rent my brother pays isn’t enough. (My brother NEVER MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE, and has been leeching off my parents his whole life)

My mother defended him because he takes care of running errands. Then proceeded to tell me to lower the child support I pay to my ex wife whom I have 2 boys with

I said “let me get this straight- you want to fuck my kids over, just so my brother and his kids, can live a better life? Or did you prefer, I take money out of my retirement account, penalties and all, to keep CODDLING my brother? I’m sorry but I will not continue to enable him like you have all these years. I have my own family and bills to take care of.
