This is an informal assignment based off a movie we watched during class which is Step Brothers. This movie is about two middle-aged men (Brennan, and Dale) who still live at home with their parents. These step brothers finally get a taste of reality when their parents marry which ends up in a divorce caused by them. The brothers only have a few days to finally start their adult lives and live on their own. They grow apart from each other but end up meeting up again when Brennan hosts and event that Dale caters. In my writing I wrote a letter to the brothers explaining why I think their behavior is unacceptable at their age and is partly their parents fault for enabling their behavior. I also provide information about different parenting styles as far as the parenting styles that their parents raised them by and the parenting style I think they should've been raised by,
Brennan and Dale have this sense of entitlement due to the way they were raised. They think they should have everything handed to them. They don't know what its like to earn their own money and to have their own success. They both constantly rely on their parents and they have allowed it for so long that when it was time to move out and do for themselves they had a hard time. Instead of Robert and Nancy empowering Dale and Brennan, they continued to enable them which lead to their behavioral issues. The parents haven't yet learned how to draw the line between letting them learn on their and bailing them out every time something happens. If Robert and Nancy set boundaries from the very beginning, Brennan and Dale would not be as needy.
