With the upcoming holiday, my brother is keeping the tradition of him being an asshole alive and well
SeeYouInShibuya
I don't care if he talks to me
SeeYouInShibuya
But him upsetting both my parents is getting on my nerves
SeeYouInShibuya
He's an asshole in a lot of ways but
SeeYouInShibuya
This holiday he's going with the I'm totally coming to Thanksgiving
SeeYouInShibuya
Lock it in, Saturday
SeeYouInShibuya
And then he starts backtracking immediately
SeeYouInShibuya
'well I don't know if I can'
SeeYouInShibuya
'I don't know if I feel up to it'
SeeYouInShibuya
'yeah maybe, I'll let you know later'
SeeYouInShibuya
A constant stringing my parents along
SeeYouInShibuya
Until he ultimately cancels
bad at dying
Tradition :/
SeeYouInShibuya
Oh he does this 95% of the time he swears he's coming over
SeeYouInShibuya
Holidays.
SeeYouInShibuya
My dad's 65th birthday
SeeYouInShibuya
Take your pick
SeeYouInShibuya
Last Thanksgiving he hijacked it so he could come out and bring his boyfriend, and instead of being 'oh maybe I won't come' he sent lists of annoying demands
SeeYouInShibuya
Upping the preparation workload and cost for no real reason, I guess to show off for the boyfriend
SeeYouInShibuya
But you know, mom staying up until 4am baking was not something she wanted to do
SeeYouInShibuya
And every year it wears on my parents more and more they're much more agitated with him and frankly, a lot more venting in my direction and I'm like I'm sympathetic
SeeYouInShibuya
-but-
SeeYouInShibuya
he always does this
SeeYouInShibuya
I mean, him being here is not great. It's a miserable time
SeeYouInShibuya
But my parents want to see him
SeeYouInShibuya
(I want to push him on an ice floe and send him out to sea but you know)
SeeYouInShibuya
(I don't get a vote)
SeeYouInShibuya
I also know the future
Jay
ugh. are asshole brothers a thing lately? my brother is also an asshole.
SeeYouInShibuya
When my parents pass, because they are not going to live forever, he's going to try and cry all over me about how he didn't spend time with them
SeeYouInShibuya
Like he did when my grandparents passed and he did that to my mother
SeeYouInShibuya
Him not seeing people is his choice.
SeeYouInShibuya
But I'd like him to stop stringing them along
SeeYouInShibuya
I have zero sympathy for him, he is not gonna enjoy that future at all I can tell you that
SeeYouInShibuya
He's been like this my entire life
SeeYouInShibuya
He was always incredibly abusive towards people and now he's just doing it in a different way
SeeYouInShibuya
My parents feel that he's their son and they should put up with it and I told them no they don't have to put up with that
SeeYouInShibuya
Alas.
SeeYouInShibuya
I am 1000% sure he has mental health issues - but as he literally refuses to deal with them, and while he acknowledges them, there's nothing anyone can do about it
ʟᴇᴏɴʏᴀ
Im so sorry
bad at dying
so much shittiness
bad at dying
I'm much more used to that in a parental capacity than a sibling one
mariscorner🇺🇦
Oh dear I am so sorry
kingdonkey
I kick him!
SeeYouInShibuya
Thanks, I needed to vent a bit because he drives me crazy.
SeeYouInShibuya
Yeah, he was a violent little shit when we were growing up towards me and after that his temper has always been on a hair trigger and he screams in people's faces
SeeYouInShibuya
And if anyone is doing something he doesn't like, like say it's someone else's turn to pick the movie, he tries to drown it out
SeeYouInShibuya
He's an overgrown manchild
SeeYouInShibuya
He came here two years ago, started being a prick and tearing into my mother, who stepped out for a break and I told him he needs to stop being aggressive and his answer is 'I have anxiety I can't talk about this'
SeeYouInShibuya
And I was like no, you can. Anxiety doesn't mean you get to be a jerk.
SeeYouInShibuya
He storms off and starts texting my mom that I'm being mean to him\
bad at dying
Ugh fuck that
SeeYouInShibuya
Oh believe me, I agree
SeeYouInShibuya
Anyway apparently he's having some fit today because his boyfriend isn't coming for sure
SeeYouInShibuya
And his boyfriend doesn't want to bring him home to meet his family
SeeYouInShibuya
So that's the drama so he's like maybe I shouldn't come down

Holidays bring out best and worst it seems.
