I've got a loser nephew like that - hardly done an honest day's work in his life, into drugs, stealing, lying - anything that gets him money. Borrowed money off my mother (at my sister's urging) and has never paid it back. Had a dog that got taken off him because he wasn't feeding it. Smashed his car into a three-week-old BMW and then hid his car and told the cops it had been stolen. (Got caught, not surprisingly, and is still paying off the debt!)
Total loser - he was indulged all his life and never had to face his responsibilities - yet his sister, who was given a pretty hard time growing up, has turned into a lovely woman, she has a good job, a house, three kids and a loving husband.
Just shows that even kids from the same family with the same blood can turn out remarkably different. And that a bit of guidance when young pays off huge dividends as children become adults.
Families - you can't live with them and you can't shoot them either!
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
