writes:My brother is married to this girl name Meghan. Her parents and my parents have also gotten close. My parents and her parents being close is a good thing since my brother and her are married.Well my parents don't understand that Meghan's little brother is 15 years old and me being 23 years old is a big age difference. I don't understand why they get mad at me when I can't take him places. He is 15 years old and it is usually inappropriate for a 15 year old being around my friends. He can't get into bars, and some of the stuff my friends and I talk about is something a 15 year old should not hear (not that we saying anything bad, but some of us have bigger problems than what he can understand). I also do not trust him becuase he started drinking alcoholic beverage and he started stealing cigarettes. At 15 years old, he should not be drinking and smoking. And if I hang out with him, and he starts drinking behind my back, and he gets caught, that can get me into legal trouble.I sometimes get the feeling that my parents and Megan's parents think our two families should get along like "The Brady Bunch".How should I explain to my parents that I want nothing to do with him without pissing of my parents (I do not care if I piss off his parents, I just do not want to piss my parents off)?
