The household includes: the wife, children, and any relative who lives in the same house and shares the same living expenses with the head of the household. Therefore, if the questioner and his brother live with their father, and their expenses are shared, then one Udhiyah is sufficient for them, even if the father does not pray, because the Udhiyah is from the questioner and his brother, and not from the father.
