Dear Chat Daddy,
I’m extremely concerned about my brother who is 20 years old, unemployed and has fathered seven children by four different women in the last five years. His latest girlfriend is due in the spring. My mother and I are really annoyed by his constant baby-making ways. He has not taken any responsibility for any of his children. To make matters worse, two of the women he has fathered children with had to give the kids up and we had to take them in so that they would not go into the state system. How can we get through to him and have the law involved in the process?

Dear Totally Detached From His Own Flesh And Blood,
Wow…what a mess. It seems to me that your brother has mastered the art of baby-making without obtaining any moral fiber along the way. He needs a revelation in his life that his behavior is irresponsible.
