My brother

For those who you who read my blog but don't know me that well, my parents are separated and did so about 10 years ago but they both have new partners etc and my dad lives in an area just outside where I live so once a week we make a point of getting together for dinner with my brother to try and get to see each other regularly.
My Brother currently doesn't have a job and hasn't had a steady job for a number of years, he does bits here and there and then does nothing again for ages. anyway we got on to talking about stuff last night and my brother discussed the kind of job he would like and my dad tried to explain that until that kind of job came up really he needs to take another job to tie him over. he didn't get what my dad was saying so I tried to explain on his behalf and my brother got all defensive and basically said he's not having this conversation while I was present. so I left. We'd already had dinner by this point by the way but I'm sick of him just taking my parents for a ride. He talked about morals last night, he clearly doesn't have any morals when he is happy to have no job and live off my parents. The problem is everyone tip toes round him and dare not say, look get a job. Now I don't know whether he has issues that he needs to go see a councillor about but if he does then go and get that sorted.
Sorry if my views don't sound very Christian when I talk about him but I've had enough, this has been going on for 5yrs now or more (he's 30yrs old too) and I'm fed up with it. The amount of times I come back from this weekly meal with my Dad upset because my brother's comments. I do pray about him, I pray that he will have a Saul experience of God so he will know that God is real. I just know that if God was in his life then he would have a completely different outlook on life and not always be the way he is. So anyone who wants to pray about him too is more then welcome.
