life would be so easy if I was afraid of sin
Since my brother has come home from his mission my parents have bought him a new truck, a new iPod, a new cell phone, all new clothes, a brand new laptop, and a surfboard and wetsuit. They have filled up his tank and given him at least 200 bucks a week.
When I asked them when the scales will be balanced they told me they arent going to treat us the same because he has gone on a mission. for the past few days I have truly felt like a 2nd rate son. My brother is one of the most air headed people I know. The only reason he went on a mission was because it was expected of him and he was afraid to do anything else or think for himself. My mother keeps pictures of him in his suit and tie out and puts that report card with all those A's of mine in the trash.
After a few days of distancing myself from my dad he came downstairs this afternoon and gave me a new pocket knife. I said thank you and sat giving him a quarter of my attention as he told me about an altercation at work. after a while he left and went in and punched a few keys on my moms computer. The knife was ugly and a weak attempt at patching holes. 10 minutes later he came in and took the watch of his wrist and handed it to me. He just said he wanted me to have it and trampled up the stairs. My mom is the same way. They can both feel the negativity I feel towards them and try to bandage the wounds in our relationship with money. They mistake love for money. They just dont undertand
Last Christmas my parents got me an iPod, my sister got a down payment on a house.
on a lighter note I am getting a medicinal marijuana card soon.
