Recall the long hours you worked at your job, finishing a project that brought you satisfaction. Even though you're exhausted, you find it to be quite fulfilling.

As a matter of fact, what is the clearest indication of being lazy? Depression. That's the point at which you feel helpless.

It seems pointless to put in any effort when all you want to do is laz around, and that's not a state you want to be in. But there are individuals who are extremely unhappy and feel hopeless, which is why they don't want to work.

One would ask why these people feel this way. It is when they work at these meaningless tasks that they become dissatisfied, and when they find themselves in poverty, it actually exacerbates the situation.

Take OP's brother, for instance; he is someone who hates to work. Fortunately or unfortunately for him, he has a partner who is just like him - lazy.

What kind of psychology leads someone to believe that not having a full-time job is perfectly okay as long even if they don't have any health issues that hinder them from working? Anyways, OP's brother left their mom's house to go live with his girlfriend at her family apartment.

OP's girlfriend got pregnant, and he couldn't afford anything for the baby. The OP had to drive everywhere to find things for the baby, and still, they were taken by child services because of their negligence.

Read the entire story in the OP's own words below.

Here's the headline

OP's brother doesn’t work, nor does he want to and his partner is the same

That would be fine by the OP if her mom was able to do it alone

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a-hole:

Wondering if I’m the asshole as I said to my mom to not help my brother anymore as his kid was removed by cos and he didn’t try to fix the situation. Also, because I don’t want to help them anymore and I don’t want my life to stop because of others.

Below are some of the most upvoted comments from other Redditors for you to read through

This Redditor's heart goes out to the poor babies

The mental or physical capacity to deal with it

She's pregnant again and the baby will be taken away

The OP's on her own with this

Bashing your head against a brick wall

What the OP should tell her mom if she decided to help

Telling her she doesn't have the resources to care for them

The entire scene reeks of child abuse

We all know that going to work is the responsible thing to do because it's how most people support their families but there are people who don't really do much for their families. These are real people who don't seem to believe that they should be working.

The brother's irresponsibility is alarming and the OP was declared not the AH. Leave your verdict about this story in the comments section below.
