My brother and sister?

I don't know what to do. My older sister is only 15. But she's pregnant with her second child. She had her first one when she was 13. Now she's due in June And I love my niece to death. But I always pictured my brother having children first. He's 20 and just got engaged last night. He was 17 when he became an uncle. I was 11. Another major difference is that I actually send time with my sister,Amber, and my niece,Brittany. But my brother acts like as soon as Amber had Brittany, she died and doesn't exist anymore. I don't want that to happen to Christena. But I'm afraid it might. When Brittany was born, he didn't even come to the hospital. So he probably won't come when Christina is born. Is there anything I can do to convince him that his nieces [and our sister] need him in their lives?

Answer:
Explain to his nieces how you feel . How it is important to be a close knit family. just keeping in contact and checking up once in a while will help. as people get older they have a tendency to detach from their family because they have families of their own.
geeze, it seems like he has a life of his own now. tell him what you said "that his nieces [and our sister] need him in their lives?" good luck!
ask him how he would feel if they were his kids
hi sweety..first of all WOW...your sister should buy some condoms or go on the pill..something.but anyway i think your brother just needs time.i think that he doesnt want anything to do with the child or sister b/c shes so young and has basiclly (ruined) her life..this children will be in his life weather he likes it or not like come on hes there uncle..dont worry he turn around just give him time hunny everything will work out...good luck to your sister
If I was your brother I would have done the same thing. Your sister shouldn't Be having kids at that age. She should have finished school first and then start a family. 13 is to young to have kids, I had my first son when I was 19 and I think is was hard even then. I just hope that these kids aren't going to be another for the system to take care of. Tell her good luck and I hope she can take care of those kids.
Your brother is ashamed of your sister. He has done something with his life and your sister is having children in Middle School. He would rather not have to deal with that and instead finds it easier to not interact with your sister or her children. What your sister really needs is a real father figure for her children. Your brother cannot be that. That could also be a reason why he wants to stay away from that, he doesn't want to feel that he has to stick around and be a "dad" for these kids. I'm going to assume the father of these children are two different men who are no longer in your sisters life. There is nothing you can do to convince your brother. In fact I think of him being pretty smart trying to stay away from all of that so that he can live his own life instead of being the "daddy" to his sisters children.
Your brother may have to learn that this will be his loss. However, your sister will have troubles plenty trying to raise 2 children while still in high school and unable to earn a living. She will need all her family behind her, regardless of the mistakes she has made. But, as for the brother, well--he will have to come around on his own (maybe he will have simular problems one day, and will understand then). Don't give up on him, though! Good Luck!
no thats really bad
he probably wanted to have kids first too, maybe it was a dissapointment he didn't want to face.
...make your neice go to him and say hey there uncle "i love you"...that works.
