Brothers GF (long)
Today was my brothers graduation from the NSA's police academy. He wanted us to car pool and his GF offered to drive me. Now I've probably mentioned it here a time or to that I dont love this girl. Dont get me wrong she is a sweet girl but she has been super clinging since they met. H feels the same way about her but my mom just thinks she is the greatest thing since sliced bread. She comes over and cleans my brothers room, cleans my moms house, cooks them dinner etc. She is 19 yrs old for crying out loud!! Its hard for me to describe all of the things she does that rub me the wrong way but I just have a bad feeling about this chick. Like she is going to try to get pregnant on purpose.
Their 1 yr anniv is coming up... how do I know this?? b/c her text siggy is 
april ??, 20010<3. BARF.... Anyhow she was complaining to me today how my brother wont buy her a promise ring for their anniversary. How Devin doesnt "do" rings. Um BEOTCH in the past 3 months he has bought you an ipod touch, a necklace from tiffanys, and put you up in a 5 star hotel for the weekend when she flew to GA to visit him. Then she goes on to tell me how his new work schedule will be great for when he is ready to start a family. How it will allow him to be super involved with the kids. OMG!! I thought I was going to start hyperventilating.
Tonight she was taking him out to dinner to celebrate. They have dinner reservations at 7pm. About an hour ago I get a text from my brothers phone asking "how the car ride with M went?" I replied "fine y?" Then I got another text that said "Just wonderin what your take of M is?" Uhhhhhhh why do I feel like I'm being set up. I know he is with her right now. I really think its a trap. Maybe even its her that has the phone. So I just replied "She is a sweet girl. B and I are out to dinner. Call me tomorrow?" Gaaaaaah I'm dying to know if it was her or is he finally wising up to her? Guess Ill know more tomorrow.
Re: Brothers GF (long)
She is 19 now, 18 when they started dating.
ETA: You asked me how old he is not her duh! He just turned 22 in Jan.
I posted on twitter the other day how ridiculous that she announced to the world via FB that she made him his lunch. My mom (who follows me on twitter, but thats a whole other post) replied for to me "Dont be a hater b/c she'll take good car of your brother". I replied back to my mom "I'm sorry but I think a 19 yr old she aspire to be more then a housewife". No offense to anyone here (please dont flame me). I just dont like the idea of her sponging off my brother.
ugh she sounds like a piece of work. hopefully they'll be broken up soon. even he's young (for a guy) to be thinking about settling down, so hopefully she'll scare him off with talk of the future.
Wow. She sounds...intense. I can't even imagine being worried about having a good schedule for kids when I was 19. And I'm even young.
I think you were smart to keep it polite when he asked about her. If he is crazy about her and marries her, you don't want him to resent you for having said something negative. Plus it would be easier to read how he feels in person, if you do want to express some of your concerns.
I get so nervous about who my brothers are going to marry. I worry that I'll hate my sister-in-laws. I don't know why.
I kept thinking about you and your brothers GF yesterday!!
Im glad you girls agree with me b/c sometimes I think Im being too judgmental. I'm 6.5 yrs older then my brother so I've always felt super protective over him. I mean once my parents divorced and they were both working crazy hours it was just me and him.
DONT DO THAT TO ME!!! She did make a big show of taking her BCP in front of me yesterday. My brother and I had a little chat back in Dec when he was home visiting for the weekend. It pretty much boiled down to he knows I am struggling to get pregnant and that if he becomes a father before he has been married for 9 months it will crush me. So I think he is being responsible on that end.
Im waiting for her to announce on FB that she is going to work and then I am going to call him. I'm going to feel him out before I say anything negative and I keep the bashing to a minimum. I haven't said anything thus far b/c if he is anything like I was at that age the more we talk bad about her the more he'll keep her around.
The only good thing about him being deployed in July is that maybe the 6 months he is gone will fines extinguish this flame.
BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
