Recently, my brother has become engaged to a fresh out of high school 18 year old. (He's 21) I have made it no secret that I think they are much too young.
(If i had gotten married then, I wouldn't be half the total babe I am now)
Now that he is ready to live on his own and be a grown up, don't you think he would help out a little more, I mean in a week my mom will be going in for surgery and it's not like she'll want to do the gazillion things she does around the house.
Yesterday, was a typical day for me. I had to take the Doctors kids to day care (I'm her on call sitter. In case she gets called in at night, I'm there to take care of her sons), then I had to run to Adams to get my car looked at, then my mom needed her prescription refilled in the Dells, I had to clean a flat of strawberries, make supper, and pack to go back to the Doctors.
When I was leaving home to go pick up the pills, I asked my brother to unload the dishwasher. A simple task. I knew he wouldn't re-load it. I got home 40-ish minutes later, to find the dishwasher still full. How hard is it to push pause on World of Warcraft? Honestly, it took me about 6 minutes to unload it.
So, why does he think that he is ready to get married when he can't unload the dishwasher, take out the garbage with out being asked 4 days in a row, do his own laundry, help out a little (we live at home Rent Free!), make supper once in a while, or help my dad get a load of hay?
I work 3 jobs, have a social life, make supper almost every night, do dishes, laundry, take out garbage, pick up what my dog drug into the living room, help my mom with any projects, oh, and help any of my friends with anything they need from Jeff's resume, to Katie's pix...
Apparently, A woman's work his never done.
I just hope his fiance knows how much of a slob he is, and how much more work, he'll make for her.
Oh, and she asked me to be a bridesmaid. I wouldn't really have a problem with this, if he didn't make me, my friends & my family feel inferior to him.
And maybe if he wasn't such a douche to everyone he meets.
