A low blow...how appropriate!

Well, after the post I just made about wishing I could get a job and all that...my lil brother decides to make a comment about how it's ok for him to spend my parents' money cause he brings money into the house, but I shouldn't spend their money cause I don't have a job. 1)It's still their money, not his. 2)If he would actually try to cooperate instead of just saying he couldn't get me back and forth to work(even with my Daddy helping with it) then I WOULD HAVE A FUCKING JOB! But he's too goddamn lazy to even attempt it. He has absolutely no right to throw that in my face when he's part of the reason I don't have a job! Especially since what I'm wanting to spend money on is not for me! I need to get some flea treatment for my cat and I have two rolls of film (one of which I've had for months) that I need to get developed cause I'm trying to work on Christmas presents and I'm pretty sure there are pictures on those rolls that I can give! I have connections so I can get them blown up on good photo paper for free which would leave me with the cost of developing them and buying a frame for the ones I decide to use...that's it. So we're looking at maybe $3-5 a person instead of $15. With as many people as I'm wanting to give gifts to...that'll save a lot of money. But he can't even consider that...he just says "Well, I'm bringing money into the house." And you know what he's about to spend money on?! He's going to go to Burger King or Wendy's or some other place like that and pay them about $5 to raise his cholesterol when we have food here that he could eat that would be much healthier!

So I don't even want to hear about "I'm bringing money into the house" when he spends so much on fast food and I eat here pretty much all the time or I take something with me. I do my best not to spend too much of my parents money, cause I hate feeling like a free loader. I help around the house as much as my energy level will allow. I decorated and painted my bedroom all by myself and when I leave my Mom wants to keep it that way. I'm redecorating the upstairs bathroom for them...all of that stuff is staying here when I leave. I'm going to redecorate the game room for them. And my brother bitches about everything I decide on, but will not give any input other than he wants it to all be a dark teal. Ok, dark can be nice don't get me wrong, but not all over the fucking house! It's been agreed on already that he's being willed the house cause I can't stand it. And because of that, he wants us to paint and decorate it how he wants it, but he won't really say how he wants it and he won't do any of the fucking work! Fuck him! That's bull shit! At least I'm doing stuff around the house other than occasionally taking dirty dishes down stairs and sometimes helping with the trash! Granted, our funds are typically pretty low, but my Daddy works a lot and my Mom just doesn't have that much energy anymore and she's watching Devin a lot, so helping around the house is more important than bringing in money. My parents have a dream of how they want the house to look. To me, helping them get it to that point is what I can do since I can't get a job. WTF is wrong with that?! It's something I'm good at and I enjoy. It's something that keeps me from going completely stir crazy and it keeps me from feeling like a free loader. I do help around the house and I help my mom with Devin. And I'm practically decorating the entire upstairs with the exception of his bedroom. I DO MY PART! Why can't he see that?! Grrrr...I'm so pissed!
