I feel bad because my boyfriend is doing his best but sometimes I really just hate his brother! His brother is REALLY selfish. His dad works as a fisherman - so for the last 3 months he's been prepping and pumping in about 80k on his boat to do his test (that happens every 4 years). ** And it doesn't help that his dad is almost 60, sprained his ankle a couple of months ago, and his other son (who's the big guy in the family) won't give him an hour of his time! My boyfriend has his degree in IT so he does all the computer stuff but he really doesn't know much about the mechanical parts. A few weeks ago his brother (Let's call him Dennis) said that he would help his dad on the boat. Mind you, my boyfriend has been on the boat helping his dad for the last 3 months every single weekend - all weekend. So this one time that they ask Dennis (he's a bigger guy) to do some of the heavier stuff. He agrees to but last minute says 'he has to go to work'. We find out later that he actually went to the island with his wife (who also does not do anything) because she's was sad. She just had a 3 month vacation and the 2 weeks off again! So everyone decided never to ask Dennis because he makes a big deal about it and then lies to get out of it leaving his dad helpless.
Well this weekend was suppose to be my birthday weekend. My bf had plans of going to a really early breakfast and followed by a full day of events that were surprises. Basically he stayed at my place and about 8 I dropped him off at his so he could 'get **** together' and shower and we're god to go. He got a call from his dad and he said today really isn't a good day. He's been there every weekend so you'd think that it would be OK for him to be busy for once. But nope, his dad had a fit saying that he's never helping out when in reality out of his whole family of 5 kids he's the only one there on the weekends. It is about 1 pm here and I'm still waiting for him. He had to end up going to run around and get things for his dad because Dennis again BAILED OUT! He found out that this was suppose to be something Dennis was suppose to do and that's why it was such a last minute thing. Now my bf is rushing around getting things so he can come back for my birthday he was going to get his dad something at the store, he ran into Dennis and his wife!! So he was caught red handed not where he said he was going to be.
I mean it's not my bf's fault because it's not like he can say NO to his dad. But his brother knows that today was my birthday day and that he had all these plans. And even when he told his dad that today he really needs to get out because of my birthday he just makes a fit saying that he's never there helping him which is so untrue!
I'm just so irritated at the way some of the men in his family act!!!
*thanks for letting me vent*
