I wouldn't. technically I think you are his elder, as you are older than he is. so in fact, it is HE that should be listening to YOU.

Depends, if he has always made your decisions for you & you have all of a sudden decided to make your own decisions. He may feel a little peeved
-
I wouldn't let anybody - brother, sister, mother, father, son, daughter or the garbage man - make decisions for me

You should make your own decisions. You can still allow him to voice his own opinions, but the final decision should always be yours. He should understand your feelings if you want to decide things for yourself, and if he does, let him have it, put him in his place.

I did it and got lost. Now I am free and he is angry!

As long as you have not signed over to him, the power of attorney. The choice is still yours to make for yourself.........Just my point of view tho....Plus 5 for your question........................M.C.S.

No. It seems to me that when we become adults, we should make our own decisions. That doesn't mean we can't listen to the ideas and information others may have about things that affect our decisions. That would be foolish. Then put those things brought up by the other(s)in with your thoughts, and then you make the decision. Otherwise, in your case, you're letting your brother live your life for you. You'll be joined at the hip. Try to step out and make some decisions of your own. Maybe small ones at first. And if you make the wrong one, so what? I'll bet he's made the wrong one for you before. If you make a wrong decision, life will go on. I think everyone has made many wrong decisions. Come to think of it, my 3rd marriage just blew up. So how's that for good decision making with regard to choosing a mate?
