It's very frustrating being the ONLY one at my house with an actual job right now.
Sure, my step-dad doesn't need to work. He could live off the income/interest from all of his investments for the rest of his life.
My mom is taking care of Grandad right now, so work has kind of gotten pushed back.
My parents have not been able to teach my brother the value of a dollar. He expects everyone to just bend over backwards and buy him whatever he wants, WHEN he wants. He'll act like he's the center of the world, and then ask you to order him a pizone (whatever that is).
Today, he told me he wanted me to go to the concert with me tonight. Here's how the convo went:
M: Do you even have money?
A: Yeah, I worked yesterday.
M: Well, maybe you should save that to pay for your phone bill.
A: Nah. It gets paid for.
M: Yeah, by me sometimes.
A: So what? It's only $30.
M: Yeah, $30 of my own hard earned money.
A: So what? You have a job.
I then promptly kicked him off of MY computer and told him that he could WALK to the swimming pool (to which he has a season pass to) instead of me driving him.
He replied: Oh, you really taught me a lesson.
I cannot WAIT until he gets out into the real world. I hope it humbles him and he gets knocked down.
It's terrible for me to say, but he needs to learn a lesson, and it's obvious that my mom and Jack aren't teaching it to him.
He never gets punished, not even for running up our phone bill with long distance calls for the third month in a row. (Our land line). Instead of him being punished or having to pay the difference, he lies, says that the calls weren't made by him, and nothing is done.
I can remember getting punished for not turning off the air conditioner after being told ONCE before. Know what my punishment was? No TV for 6 FUCKING MONTHS.
Yeah. Seem fair?
No.
