Ando de Gallo!



I'm so frustrated with my brother...I shall not name him, but really he has been so selfish with my mom lately. I really don't even know how to begin, but I think writing it down will help to let it go...I hope...Both my brothers go to get my mom at the border, I pitch in for gas because it's my mom ya know. So they go and bring her back, then I find out that my brother buys his MIL a kindle, PLEASE, the lady does not even crack open a book much less need a kindle but whatever, it's not really about the gift for her but that my brother didn't get my mom a gift! I mean this is the brother who comes to every single birthday party without a gift EVER!!!! So frustrating!!! We did not grow up that way, like it's RUDE...but anyway back to my mom...so then I text my brother, to hopefully wake up his conscious and this idiot responds, first: that his gift to my mom was picking her up at the border, whatever!!! He went at the LAST minute and he split the gas with my other brother. Then his second excuse was that he sends my mom money throughout the year so that's her gift!!!!!!!!! He's sent a total of $60 that I can recall, and this is for BOTH my mom and my dad for their living expenses!!!!! OMG! I think this writing it down is not working...I'm getting all worked up again...I don't want to blame his wife for this because he should stand up for his own mother, but both of them are so careless with their finances. Later they'll both be asking for money because they don't administer it right when they have it. They use they're children as collateral for sympathy and it's so annoying. Currently my brother is getting unemployment benefits, aka a check, every two weeks, PLUS he has a job that pays him cash on the side and about $600 a week he says...oh wait, plus $900 worth of food stamps every month, what a rip-off...I know I'm not perfect, this is only a rant, I love my brother and his wife and their kids but I just really needed to get it off my chest...hope I feel at peace soon.
