    Either I am getting older or my wisdom teeth are kicking in - meaning the "wisdom" part, but I don't think I should take garbage from someone that was raised in the same area as me, with similar values, but has decided to be a pain, ungrateful, whiner -- even when others have bent over backward for them. There is never enough for them.

    Well, darlin', enough is enough.
    2013 is going to be a great year -- with or without you.

    I so feel you pain. Take a deep breath, go outside and scream or my cure wine. I has one too but she is older than my by 9 yrs old and I swear I am the older one and she is about 18 or 19 years old. She isn't housebroken and refuses to clean or cook or do anything productive when I come to visit and one day I am going to slap her silly. But family is family and I am glad she lives 2,080.9 km cause if I lived closer I would be putting her up for adoption.

    Kinda nice to know there are others with "siblingitis", like me.
    Great time to work out at the gym or walk the track, when siblingitis kicks in.
    Love how you have the miles down to the decimal - 2080.9 km. That's great.
    Thx for your comments

    Oh, I understand as well.

    In my case, it's my older brother, six years my senior. He turned out to be a real arse.
    I just limit contact with him, period. I'm not missing anything.

    Hope you find a way to handle things which brings you peace...

    Thanks cath007. Thanks Natalka.

    Surprised that there are so many with the same situation. Yes, will find a way to cope -- even find a positive out of all of this.

    You are definately not alone, we grow older but not everyone "grow-ups)" I haven't talked to my brothers in 2 years as when I was in the hospital - they did come to visit me but have ignored me ever sincel.

    I've sent them birthday cards, I've sent them a just because card with well wishes, Christmas cards and now I say screw them, I don't have the time or energy to care if they can't atleast send me a birthday card for me or my kids.

    Who needs anymore bs in their lives - not me!
    2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

    I feel so fortunate that I'm very close with my brother and sister. AND, they are housetrained and use their brains. I sympathize with all of you that have these type of issues. It's so hard to bite your tongue, especially when it's family. Now if we are taking about in-laws, well I can chime right in

    Hm... I guess I should have mentioned I have five siblings, so it's not like the aforementioned brother leaves a hole...

    I'm totally close with my two oldest sisters and my younger brother.
    My next-oldest sister and me love each other, but she really doesn't like me, so contact is limited, but we are totally there for one another if need be. (That took a LONG while for me to come to terms with; she just could never embrace my black sheepness!)

    My sister and I were like that but glad we got super close and dealt with everything before she passed away unexpectedly.
