Another rant about my brother.
I don't even know where to start.
Arrrgghgh!
really don't know what to say.
I jsut had another phone call with my brother and now feel stressed out, shaky and I guess angry.
I don't like to resort to name calling, though you have seen me call him a number of names in these journals, but he is so ignorant and too defensive, short tempered, arrogant, immature and inconsiderate. I really do not like to talk to him, be around him or think about him, That is part of the purpose of this rant, to expunge the memory of the last calls from my brain. I am shaking right now and feel like vomiting.
Can you believe, he did not know when federal taxes were due. He is 52 years old and did not know that you had to have your taxes sent to the IRS by April 15th. He has been so dependent on my parents and living the life of a teen ager since he was a teen ager that he did not know this.
As mentioned before, it seems all he ever wants to talk about is what he can get, what is owed him, how he can get more or deny more to me and my sister. And after I gave him purely of my own accord and sense of fairness, $1890 dollars from my inheritance he is quibbling over his part of a debt5 owed for rent from a tenant that is now mine. They owe about 250 dollars that my parents had let them slide on till they cold pay it and I had made an agreement with the tenant that he could work it off for me when I needed help with the houses. he is in conctruction so I figured why not take advantage of this. Now my brother is all, some of that debt to our parents should be mine, I should get some of it. so what is 35% of $250, maybe $85? So I give him, $1890 and he is now trying to hit me up for $85.
He is not getting anything more form me. I'm done with him. No gratitude, no consideration all he is about is gimme gimme gimme. I'm tired of it. Once I cna remove myself from dealing with him in any way I will.
but there is still some things to be done to finalize the estate and so I can't avoid him completely.
So thisis form a call that was fine and over, about taxes and such, then a minute after that call was over he calls back and goes into this thing about having the tenant work off the debt and cna't he be paid to do the work instead. I'm like I guess so do what you can and then I'll get others to do the work you aren't able to. I shouldn't have done that tho because I have worked with my brother before and he is not a good worker, bad attitude,bossy, wastrel and doesn't think things through or time manage well.
so that call was over or at least I thought it was so I hung up and then a minute later he calls and yells at me for hanging up on him. I told him I did not hang up that I thought the call was over. so he is ok well I thought you hung up on me and I called to tell you i didn't like it. and I'm ok well I didn't hang up on you. I thought you were finished so I hung up. if there is something more you wanted to talk about then what is it? and he tells me no there isn't anything else I just thought you hung up on me. so wait you called me back to tell me you were mad that I hung up on youat the end of the call when there was nothing more to talk about? and he says yeah I see what you mean but I thought you hung up on me.
Sheesh, what an idiot.
I can only see him working on my sisters house to be a lot of more headaches and stress. I still hope for the best. Maybe what he cna do to ehlp fix things up will not take long and I can get him out of the way to get the major things done. I mostly dread that he will there causing us pain and string it out over too long a time forcing me to get on his butt to finish or get out of the way and make the trouble between us even more tenuous.
Ah feeling better now, hope you enjoy the drama that is my life, reader. Maybe some day I can finally take it easy and not have these worries. Yeah, when I'm dead.
