Taking back fone Grateful thing from yesterday

3.  For my Brothers and sister:  Dad has an appointment with  a cardiologist tomorrow and
I feel like one of us should go:  My sister does not work and my one brother is off for the summer
so I am sure I can get one of them to take him-  meaning I don't have to take time off work -
Not that I would not if I had too but its good to know I don't have too.
I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW I CANN'T SEE STRAIGHT; MY ONE BROTHER WHO IS IN SCHOOL SO OFF FOR THE SUMMER IS PLANNING A CRABFEAST FOR TONIGHT SO HES TOO BUSY: MY SISTER (STAY AT HOME MOM)  HAS HER ANNUAL EYEEXAM THIS MORNING SO GUESS WHO DOES HAVE TO TAKE THE DAY OFF!  THIS IS JUST SO WRONG.  I FEEL THAT DAD HAS GIVEN US EVERYTHING AND NOW THAT HE NEEDS SOMEONE THE GOOD FOR NOTHINGS ARE NO WHERE AROUND.  THE EYE EXAM COULD BE MADE ANOTHER DAY - AND MY DEAR BROTHER HAS A DAUGHTER WHO DOES NOT WORK DURING  THE DAY -- DO YOU THINK ONE OF THEM COULD HELP OUT  HELL NO I AM SO ASHAMED OF THEM I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM.

Darla - This just ****** me off so much on your behalf.  But you know what?  Let it go.  Just go with your Dad - at least you'll know firsthand what's going on and won't have to rely on the others to ask the right questions, and I think you'll feel better anyway.  Afterward, take that sweetie out for an ice cream - but PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - STAY AWAY FROM IT YOURSELF!!!! LOL!!!  And then, go shopping to get yourself some clothes that FIT!!!!!  Treat yourself!!!!

Your Mom & Dad know and you know.  That's all you need.  Don't worry about the rest.  Karma is a *****

Hugs,

Tia

 

((( Darla ))) My parents are out of state and I really don't see much of them and as they get older they need more attention.   I am sure my one sister who lives in the same area as my parents often feels the same about me not being there to take care of Mom & Dad when they need something. It really bites that your brother and sister are so selfish that they expect that you will do everything for your dad.   I know it is tough, but start drowing some boundaries about what is acceptable and what is not with their behavior.   I know it's not something you can drop on them all at once, but start making them do some of the running and not expecting you do to it all. Hugs, Mo

Good Morning Darla, Tia said it all. Well said, Tia.  Have a Blessed Day, -Antoinette

Darla...I know EXACTLY how you feel. My DH and I live in Pasadena (Anne Arundel Co)..His father and married brother and sister live in Elkton (Cecil County)..My DH has to take off work and drive over an hour to take him to the doctors because his selfish ass siblings are "too busy"..I could SCREAM!!

Thanks for letting me vent this morning :  I am still angry at the bro and sis  I so needed to vent:  I knew I could count on you all for support
