It's official: I hate my brother

Melozia · November 2009

I know, I know. I vent alot about him, more than I should considering I have nothing to do with him. The guy just gets under my skin. He showed up at my sister's house last night for cake and prezzies for my nephew's birthday...UNINVITED! He brought his cow of a wife with him. They can't stand each other, it's obvious. It made everyone uncomfortable. I felt like he was invading my "turf". I know it sounds odd but I am super protective of the kids and my sis and parents, and his presence upsets the whole family dynamic. The kids can't stand him, his wife didn't even wish little Andrew a happy birthday for pete's sake! B!tch! My claws just come out when they are around. I can't help it, it's the momma bear in me. lol

My bro doesn't know where I live. He does know that we built a new house, but doesn't know the details except for how many square feet it is (weird, I know). So, my dad and I were talking aout it last night and I was being purposefully vague cause none of the house issues are my bro's business, and my dad starts asking my bro for his opinion! Ugh. Before I knew it, I was in a discussion with my bro about what kind of a driveway to put in. As if I seriously care what he thinks I should do. He's an idiot!

Not sure that there is any point to this rant, I just needed to get it out...and DH is sick of hearing it! lmao

I'm sorry. I know it's hard when you have an estranged family member. I'm like that with my MIL and my nieces. She waltzes in and out of their lives and continually disappoints them and lets them down and it enrages me.

I just got off the phone with my mom who made a point of telling me how happy my dad was that my bro and I were talking last night. I told her that dad has all the subtlety of a Mac truck, that I thought what he did was manipulative. She told me that all they want to know is that their children can get along, and will get along if they die. I don't understand this. I asked her what was more important: to have 2 kids who acknowledge their honest dislike and disinterest in one another or 2 kids who fake it til they make it for the sake of everyone else who can't get over the fact that they are NOT friends! She didn't have an answer. Besides, we do get along. We get along by not communicating with one another! lol Ugh, I wish she could see that the fact that he and I can sit in a room together for 3 hours and not exchange a word is ok with both of us...cause we have a mutual dislike of one another and don't give two sh!ts about what the other has to say, nor do we have anything to say to one another. This is about everyone else, and the fact that they cannot look past that it is their issue, not ours. I mean, if I sat in a room for 3 hours with *anyone* else and didn't speak to them, I doubt anyone would even notice, and if they did they certainly wouldn't care or say anything. It's only b/c it's bro, and they know the history, that makes it such a big deal to everyone. He's a jerk. I don't like him. He doesn't like me, never has. I am so okay with that, I am not on this earth to live my life to please him or anyone else. Nightmare. This is why I hate family functions where he shows up!
