Down with brothers!
Tonight my opinion on brothers is that they royally suck. I get my bus pass in the mail and my oldest brother stole it, didn't even ask about using it. I was waiting for almost a week for it to come and he didn't even say anything. I only found out because I saw the envelope it came in in his room, where he'd hoarding other mail that wasn't his, like my new insurance card! I personally don't get that one he can't even use the card, it doesn't have his name on it. He also had some of our bills and the only reasons I can come up with as to why he had them are he was either going to try and pay them or he's spying for my other brother. When my mom tried to talk to him about it somehow the conversation kept going back to me and 'What I'm not doing and what I should be doing and how I should do it' and how he's always getting blamed for things and I never get in trouble.
I do see some of his points but I'm doing the best that I can, and coping the best that I can. I really don't think he or my other brother believe in me.
One of my brothers problems I think, is that I don't currently have a paying job. I'm in a skills training program, so I get school credit instead. I always say I'm getting the skills I need for the career that I want and even if I don't get the job that I want what I'm learning can be applied to different career paths. All the older brother is doing is sitting on his ass (occasionally selling things on Craig's list). Both brothers gripe about how I'm always spending money on myself and on the things I want, but I'm really not. I've been getting a FA check every term and I spend a little on some clothes and a few things that I've been eyeing for awhile and I save a little for every day spending money. After that I give the rest to my mom to pay bills, pf course both brothers are on the 'I should give her every single penny bandwagon'. If I gave her everything from the start I would be asking my mom for money far more than I do.
