brat ….

So I am having difficulties with my little brother. I know he isn’t happy about moving. He is throwing major temper tantrums that are just ridiculous. Like the other day mom and dad changed their mind and decided they weren’t going to give  him a certain tv, but in 3 months they were going to buy him a 32 inch, flat screen HD tv…. and he FLIPPED! "what am i gonna do for 3 months, I don’t care about a new tv, Well give me my old tv back, this is bull shit! what about me? chelsea and shaun get 2 tvs and I can’t have one in my room," my parents were like no no you can have a tv in your room it just won’t be the one we said earlier, but your gonna get a new tv for your birthday. "That tv has a line on it, this sucks, I can’t believe you’d do this to me.. blah blah blah"…. really Jesse? your 18… suck it up.

And this weekend, Jesse got a little drunk, was all hung over for Saturday didn’t really get in trouble but just moped around and watched, Shaun, and my Dad do the floors in the new house and didn’t help at all.. then complained that he wasn’t allowed to go out and that he wasn’t allowed to go to his girlfriends house after church because they needed his help at the house… but he got his way and go to her place anyway…

So Shaun had his migraine on Sunday, and didn’t get any work done, but yesterday he took the afternoon off work, picked up his brother and worked on the floors to make it to my family…. and what did Jesse do? bitch and talk about how my husband went out late Saturday night and how Dad needed him, and how big of a loser my husband is… really? really?

So then yesterday there was a bit of a fight between my mother, and me, which involved Shaun and Dad got involved because he is her husband.. so mom was acting like a baby and I was laughing at her and talking to her, and then Jesse gets all involved and i’m like please leave.. and hes like don’t talk to my mom like that (which is sweet but i am talking with mom not him… stay out and i’ll stay out of your fights with mom) so whatever huge fight.. but anyway he leaves… so Mom and I have this wonderful heart to heart, then the 4 of us talk and work out all of our issues.. and then we all talked and brought up issues that had been bothering us but hadn’t talked about.. it was GREAT.

So then we tell jesse we made up and hes all "i’ll believe when i see progress" .. and i’m like.. "jesse its time to forgive" "I will in a week" "Thats not how forgiveness works Jesse… 7 times 70" "yea well Dad needed Shaun Sunday…." "yea… and They needed you Friday, Saturday, and Sunday where were you?" "thats different, i cant’ do all what Shaun can do" "Jesse… forgive its about time, I know this hasn’t been easy for you but there is no reason to hold a gruge we worked our issues like we always do,  come on forgive" "I will when I see progress"

you will when you see progress? I get why people say that, but he doesn’t know Shaun, at all! not only that, he is 18 years old, and thinks my parents owe him everything, and that their lives should revolve around him… I know this is hard, but when a fight breaks out between my parents, or me and my mom hes like "this is all your fault, this situation is all your fault" or if he fights with my mom hes like "whatever your daughter just gets knocked up and you reward her" he told Devon this house situation and the fighting is all because I got knocked up… you know what bothers me the fact that he hasn’t forgiven me.. and the fact that he doesn’t understand. we have been taught that a sin is a sin, and that you forgive, and that you DEAL with situations and not dwell in the negative.. i’m pregnant, i can’t change that, i got married and made things right with God between Shaun and I…. so get over it.. they would of done the samething if not even more for him and his girlfriend Chelsea.. (yes me and his woman have the same name weird right?)

He says he is excited to be an Uncle, but I don’t know if he is.. I worry that he’ll take his anger out on my baby.. maybe the baby will make him forgive and have his heart change, babies usually have this wonderful affect on people.

Anyway on another note…. My mom bought us all new TVs last night!!! wahoo! Mom got a 47 LG HD tv, Jesse got a 32 Sharp HD, and I got a 37inch LG flat screen, she also got a stand, my dad a laptop, and a new sound system.. Jesse didn’t even care about his new TV it was super upsetting… he didn’t even say thank you… but i’m done complaining about my brother. he is my brother and I love him…

Later days

Chelsea.

Maybe he’s just jealous that he’s kind of ‘losing’ you? I know my bro (who is older, but still really immature) really started acting out towards me when he found out I was engaged. 🙁
