I was in a super bad mood last night, thankfully I've calmed down this morning but it's still really annoying me and I want to see if anyone agrees with me or if it's just me being daft.
A couple of weeks ago my family went on a cruise for 2 weeks and I stayed at home. They had to drive from Newcastle to Manchester to get the flight and the climates were hot where they were going, not to mention the cruise ship wouldn't let me on because of how far pregnant I am, hence why I stayed.
Anyways... when I was talking to my Mum about the holiday when they got back, she said my bro never spent any time with them... he ate with them about once, he didn't go on any of the excursions and he was coming back to the cabin at like 2am and not getting out of bed till lunchtime. I think that's really ungrateful saying as the whole point in a family holiday is to spend time with your family. Plus, since I couldn't go I feel like he sort of took it for granted.
He made a bunch of friends on the cruise and one of them lives in Glasgow... he's said he wanted to go and visit so my parents are letting him go on his own, they're paying for his train, for him to stay in a hotel for 2 nights, AND for him to go see Biffy Clyro. He's 16 and they're letting him go on his own.
The reason this pisses me off is because he does absolutely zilch around the house to contribute.... I managed to keep the bathroom clean while they were away for example (easy cause i'm nesting lol) and he comes back and the next day ALL the towels are on the floor, bottles on the bottom of the bath, hair in the sink, toothpaste in the sink, lid off the toothpaste, hairspray cans everywhere.... I'd bought supernoodles and he ate MY supernoodles... when he was done he just left them there on the kitchen bench. Didn't even put the waste in the bin and the dish in the dishwasher. Just left it for someone else. He's unfreaking believable. He doesn't even eat meals at home half the time. He's so selfish, he eats all the food in the fridge, all the biscuits an leaves loads of mess and is just ungrateful!
Also he's meant to be picking what he's going to do with his life... like college or whatever and he's shown NO interest whatsoever. He didn't even try with GCSEs, my mum was getting phone calls from the school on a DAILY basis... they have to hassle him to do anything, he won't even go to the interviews or anything. He doesn't have a job. They pay his phone bills and give him money to go out.
Oh, he also got a tattoo at 16 (which is a SHIT tattoo it looks awful). Did they punish him, no.
what annoys me is that if at his age I'd done all of those things they wouldn't be frikking rewarding me for it by paying for me to do stuff like that. He obviously can't be trusted or he wouldn't be doing stuff underage like stealing my alcohol etc. I had a job, paid for my own phone bill etc at his age... i would have been punished not flipping rewarded like that.
it just hassles me cause i did well at school and college and had a job...i was still expected to pay for my own things.
I said to my OH jokingly last night, maybe I should have got pregnant at 16 and then they would have paid for me to go on a trip like that, all he said was "you should have told me"
at least he cheered me up!

Not to mention I was over 16!
