For the last 2 years I've been as patient as I could with my brother. He's been nothing but an arrogant douche to me.
I couldn't help but laugh when he hooked up with a girl that had more wrongs than a deaf person reading a manual on how to cope with blindness. But... There was symbiosis... He's my brother, family, etc... Anyway a year into them being together I'm still surprised they can stand each others company. Then I find out my brother got her pregnant. At this point I have no idea what to think. Of all the places to tell me, he tells me at a Panera Bread... So that being said... It was much later I found out I was the first person he told. He left our father completely out of all the details. Smooth move...
Fast forward to now... The only thing keeping those to knuckleheads together is the kid and at this point every time I see them it's an instant face palm for their entire company. I'm not going to get into that; however, I loved this... Our dad has done everything to help my brother. Money, baby supplies, this, that, my dad got him a job, etc. But it's always been the same issue. He's still scraping the bottom to get by, not to mention he's hooked up with a total gem that does absolutely nothing. Not going to get into that either... But anyway... About a week ago my dad paid for Confined Space Entry Training so my brother has a better chance of getting into work sites. That same day (I'm assuming) he proposed to his girl friend. Didn't tell our dad... Didn't tell anybody. How did me and my dad find out... We looked on Facebook at 6:30am one day and saw an announcement. That pissed us right off. And a couple days before me and my dad saw that... My brother was over for dinner. Didn't say a word.
How can you have the indecency to not tell your own family you're getting married? It's just... Unthinkable. And how the hell does he expect to pay for a wedding? Ugh... He's a piece of work... This situation doesn't really affect me that much, it hurts my parents a lot more... But still. Just the gall to do that irks me. It's like he's showing his true colors.
Bwaaahhh. Rant over. I could carry on for two pages listing the reasons how he's a jerk.
