Today, my brother's home for his annual visit, lectures my parents once about their eating habits. They promptly throw away all of their junk food. I'm there every Sunday, and have been telling them to eat healthier for medical reasons. They never listen. He's in sales, and I'm in med school. FML

He has charisma, you don't. Med school is right for you -- you can make tons of money even if you have no personality.

Don't make a big deal out of it. Maybe they just threw away the junk food to make their son feel better, since they see him so rarely. But that doesn't mean they'll suddenly change their eating habits just because of a speech. And if they actually do, you should be happy they're eating healthier.

The end result - your parents eating healthier - is the same. Your complaint is ...? Stop being competitive and selfish.

Will you just shut up already?!?! I mean seriously just because their parents are overweight doesn't mean they did anything to deserve it! You can't help who your parents are, so just shut the h*** up.

No one said the parents were fat. just because they don't eat healthy doesn't make them fat. there are a lot of skinny people out there that eat unhealthy get a life

This is just a fact of life for many family dynamics so common that it is portrayed in TV sitcoms all the time. When there is one sibling that lives farther from the parents and only visits occasionally while another lives with them or at least near them and visits often; the one who they see less is (unless they are a complete deadbeat drunk or something) the one they are more "interested" in when they see him/her. They were just more excited to see your brother and more eager to listen to him because they don't see him often and maybe listening to advice he gives them makes him more a part of their life. Nothing to get upset about if you are the one who sees them more. You probably have more impact on their lives than you think.

that's why he is in sales. he can sell bullshit. ideas, junk, crap - whatever. doctors can't sell anything. that is why there are so many fat people smoking three packs a day. McDonalds and cigarette company hire lots of sales-holes, doctors do not.

Maybe when you were talking to them, you were talking to them in a way that made them feel stupid and lazy. Your brother is in sales and knows how to stroke people's egos to get them to buy stuff.

First off he actually does something besides lecturing them he throws the stuff out forcing them to act healthier. 2nd they love him more then you hence they listen to him. I'm sure after your brother has passed on they will love you to if they are both still alive. The good thing is if they listen to the child they love they could be healthy and out live him so hang in there
