Should you have to pay your brother for a ride to school?  It's not like he's making an extra tirp . .  .

It depends on how your family is structured. If your mom and dad ask you if you've paid him, then that shows that your parents feel that it is right for him to ask you to pay. Are there alternative methods for you to get to school that cost less? \nYour parents should really be paying the 60 cents or subsidizing him for taking you in some way. I never charged my parents or sister and she went to a different school.

The services provided through special education often cost much more than "regular education".  That does not mean that parents should have to pay for them.  That is why we pay taxes - so all children can have the education they need.

No your not doing the right thing. Think about this, it's like he's paying for your services. HHHHMMM

It's called TUITION. You have to pay it in order to go to college.

For me it's alright. They are family anyway. :) Just make sure that your older siblings has the capacity to pay you back because if not and your in need of money, you'll have a big problem! And you're really wise to charge interest. ;)

Most likely, your mom would enjoy if her son was there as well, right?  That in mind, since it is her day, I would not forbid his attendance.  But I would make it clear that he is paying his own way and should help for paying for his mother's meal.  Example, call him up and let him know he is welcome and tell which restaurant it is.  Then immediately ask if he is comfortable attending as the menu might be a little high for him.  Especially, if he wants to take mummsie out to dinner then that's his meal plus sharing the cost for her.  (Which is your present to her.  If he does not pay, then he still gets credit for the present of dinner.)  \n\nIf you assume the best about your brother and convey those things with, "Of course, if you come then you would..." and fill in the rest.  It's much better then, "If you come then you better...".  It sets such a different tone.

no the money is for your expenses while at school. But they will not ask you for proof of what you spend your money on

I think you should be honest with your brother first, out of respect for him. If he doesn't give you his blessing, you will be disrespecting him to continue. Whether or not you care about disrespecting him affects whether or not you should continue.

You should tell your brother that you don't mind helping him but he needs to give you gas money and carry his own bags in he bought it he can carry it! He is taken advantage of you and the more you do the more he wants so stop! tell he you love him but you will not do this anymore he is a grown man! That your his sister not his wife, not his slave.  If he wants you to help by driving him to the store he can pay for gas. And he should be carry his own thing to his apartment maybe you could carry the liter stuff but he should be carry his own things! And he should be buying you dinner or something and thanking you for all your help! Your a good sister but don't let him take advantage of you no more put a stop to it you have your own life!

It is difficult to get it all in one go. The days you are working, and weekends are free for you but not for him. Does he need to devote his time to his students evety Saturday? Could he not swap say twice a month so that he can spend time with you and the children?\n\nIm sure there are ways around it, be it him only doing it once or twice a month. If its money, could you not try working a little extra to compensate?Im probably getting this all wrong but without being in your shoes I can only put ideas there.\n\nThere are winners here, the question is are you both prepared to sit down and work it out? In a mothers eyes, we dont see where the problem lies with sacrificing one day a month to go on a family outing.  But this is a man who is obviously devoted to his career and he enjoys what he does.\n\nIt doesn't mean that he doesn't get to see his family in the process.

yes.  It's getting more expensive to go to college because funding is being cut.  The "no child left behind" is an oxymoron because the schools can't produce the rules they mandate because of cut backs in funding.

keep ur money for retirment cause he makes enough.if he for some reason cant make it thru later on in life than shure help him out youve got nothing to lose remeber he is ur brother and money is just a material object. brotherhood is a very strong bond and money is even stronger when its in between so dont let it get to you.

I would like for him to have a car just because i have had bad experiences in the past with guys useing me because i have a acar and they don't...... but if you have been getting along fine without one and there is a great reason why (like you are  going to school clear across the country) then no it wouldn't matter.

I'm not a "kid"  I'm 53 years old and yes I remember when I could pay my own college tution.  Howevr such is not the case any longer.  The problem lies in the fact that not as many scholarships are offered any longer and they are no longer in the mega bucks denominations as they were prior to the late 70s because nowadays a $15,000.00 scholarship doesn't pay jack.  I know because I have a daughter in college right now and if it weren't for financial aid SHE would not be able to afford to go because there is no way I could afford to send her on MY salary alone.  As long as the cost of living keeps going up so will the cost of higher education, instructors have to be paid, as does the costs of running a college, electric bills, water bills, etc.  You're just a wee bit off base blaming financial aid.
