Should a sibling who is now 56 years old who collects 1500 a month disability be allowed to still live with parents where all expenses are covered including gas cable food insurance etc.

And not contribute a penny.
I resent this.
He helps them out with shopping and some choirs.
He never ever in his life had his own place.
Im trying to make peace with this.
What is your take on this?

I'm going to assume there is more going on than what just meets the eye.

The person in question is 56 years old. Let's consider the age of his parents. What...? 76 to 80 - maybe even older?
In any case I'm going to say I don't think they're the model of spring youth and health anymore.
You may not like him in the personal sense, but I think he pays for his life-style in a completely different way.

My dad is 73 and my mom is 62. Mom is super active still but my dad is having a rough time. If I moved back home I know my dad would be ecstatic bc there’s something I could offer him that older people long for... someone to keep them company and help them in emergencies.

Can’t move back though but I do visit a lot (at least once a week).

What I’m trying to say is that the company he provides his parents is invaluable... I thought it was clear but I guess I could have connected the dots better.
