my brother's gift
I'm really pissed off at my older brother right now,
. . . because he's always too busy for anything important in my life. . . . he showed up half an hour late for my birthday lunch with my family. . . basically spent the whole time talking about how he couldn't wait to get back to his friends. . . . . and he just doesn't make an effort to do "family things" anymore. . . . like I don't blame him, but like, he shouldn't expect me to just act like everything is okay, when it isn't.
So, when he told me he was giving me a gift on my birthday, i told him I didn't want it.
He was mad, but I don't accept gifts from strangers. . . . and he's definitely a stranger to me right now.
Am I being too harsh???
I mean, he bought me this gift basket full of like, spa scrubs, and bubble bath, and nice things. . . . and I would definitely appreciate a gift like that. . . .
But his gifts cannot replace his time. . . . . and I'm sick of making excuses for him!!!!
