LJ Idol Season 11, Week 7:feckless

[quiltingdragon]

I’ve always been the responsible one.

My brother was feckless enough for 5 kids. You couldn’t depend on him to do anything. It was always “in a minute” or “ok” and then it never got done. And he didn’t improve as he got older. It was easier to just ask someone else or do it yourself. Thankfully that didn’t translate to work, just at home.

It sounds as if your brother met someone he was ready to grow up for. Too bad it wasn't for himself!

And it's so unfair but so often true that being more responsible leads people to expect more from you and to rely on you. You may wind up with twice the work!
