Brothers and our expectations

In our culture, brothers are pampered to a hilt. I can understand that once they grow up, they have in most cases large families to support and come up to the expectations of their parents. This is by no means a guy bashing or lets say brother bashing thread. For once, I want to talk about those brothers, who sacrifice their entire life, their youth,their desires to fullfill the wishes of their parents and to see to it that all their six to seven sisters are sent to thir ‘real homes.’
What is your take on that? Should a guy who has five to six sisters wait untill the last kid sister is married off or is there some room for accomadation in this regard.
THis was about brothers who are older than their sisters but even guys who have an elder sister or an older brother are supposed to wait till they have found suitable matches for themselves. I personally feel that if its the right time, one should get married regardless of whether you have an older brother or sister or countless younger sisters.

p.s: ya, I am trying to convince my younger brother to get married, now that he has got engaged :–D , so guys start listing the reasons for and against such marriages and give reason as to why you support or oppose this practice.

Depends where you live, how much your household income level is, collective educational pedigree and aspirations of both the sons and daughters.

its quite different in my house.. my fam doesnt care who gets married first..

my younger bro is a pampered brat and does get his say most of the time but thats cus we cant be bothered listening to him go on and on about things..

plus he's engaged and dont think is gonna wait for me to get my act together

depends on the family

For once we agreed.

:bravo:

true very true MAts. It depends a lot on that too and also the fact that once the brother gets married he has more mouths to feed so his siblings and parents takes a back seat. I mean the priorities change, thats what I have heard. So parents try hooking up their daughter first just to avoid that.

I only have one sister who is younger than me by 18 months, and Ive told my mum to get her married of first before jumping on my case. None of us are engaged though.

A number of reasons really but main one being, I dont want to be getting bothered with all the marriage crap.

I actually agree with matsui for once.

The truth is Im an only girl, have two brothers.Im in the middle.I want them to get married first. They dont exactly have to watch over me or take care of me and wait etc. In a way I take care of them more then they do for me.
