Today, my 24-year-old, unemployed brother stole all of my food money and went out with his friends. His punishment from our parents? He has to pay me back when he gets a job. My stomach has to wait. FML

Find something of his you can sell, he has to learn the consequences of his actions and then he forces you into this. Plus your parents should really stick up for you and take your side

Not sure if it's the same there, but pawn shops cannot accept pawns that aren't legally yours to pawn in and doing so if the brother reports it will have the shop and the OP questioned by police.

But OP can also report his brother for theft. I don't know Puerto Rico law but I'm pretty sure OP would have a much stronger case than his brother

Um grow up and live your own life? Stop depending on parents, they'll be dead before you know it.

Don't know if your silly ass understands that. But cultures are way different in different areas, in some cultures it's common for families to live together until the elder(s)'s death. I reckon Puerto Rico is one of these areas.

OP never said they were depending on his parents. His parents just aren't very good with punishments and fairness and that's what he was explaining.

Well if it rests upon his parents to punish his brother for stealing from him, then I'd say it's safe to assume all of them live under the same roof, otherwise OP would carry out the punishment himself. Plus his name says HungryStudent. Considering Puerto Rico isn't much of a wealthy area, I don't think a student could afford his own place there.

In Latin and Hispanic culture it's common for kids to live with their parents until they feel ready to move out

Can I ask why a 24-year-old is being punished by his parents? And why the other sibling is tattling and/or leaving their money (for groceries) lying around for said irresponsible sibling to dwindle?

because it's theft, how does it not need punishment?! And op should safely be able to leave their money around without fear of his brother stealing it. how is that hard to work out

How do we know the money was just left around? It's not that hard to go into someone's room and grab their wallet/purse, open it up and take out any cash in it. If someone steals, they deserve to be punished. I doubt OP wanted to make it a police matter due to how severely it could affect the brothers life but wanted something to be done about it and that's why OP went to the parents. I know if my sister did something like this to me, my parents would do something about it, on the other hand my sister has more respect for me and herself to do something like this. Ops brother needs to grow up and the parents should have been a bit more helpful

It's not that it doesn't deserve punishment, it's just.. why is a 24 year old answering to his parents??

If my brother stole my money I'd be calling the cops, if it was too late I'd be selling his stuff. You should hide your money more careful OP, and your stuff and lock your room. Being 24 he really isn't under your parents control, but hey if he starts taking their stuff maybe they will kick him out stay hopeful
