First visit from one of my brothers for months (OT)

I was surprised to see him on Saturday as he hadn't been in touch since
before my recent operation, although he knew about it.
He was a bit sniffy that my house was not as tidy as he thought it should
be, which is surprising as he never lifts a finger in his own house but lets
his wife do it all. My garden was more overgrown that he would like too. I
got the impression he thought I was a bit lazy.
I reminded him that I'd been quite ill recently and had been unable to do it
myself. I said he might have sent his wife to tidy the house and himself to
do the garden if he was that bothered and indeed it might have made me feel
better so why didn't he think of it as it would helped me so much?
Total silence. Good.
This is the little boy that I taught to read before he went to school which
gave him so much advantage that he gained a degree in biology and got a
great job.
Is it too much to ask him to help me now?

I certainly never taught him to let his wife do all the domestic tasks when
she works too.

Anyone, especially family who dared to comment on the state of my
house or my garden would like get handed a broom or a vacuum cleaner
or a rake.

Unfortunately pretty much everyone who ever visits knows better.

Tweed I would have been a little more nasty. I would have got the
cleaning supplies and the garden equipment handed to him and said put
up or shut up till than there is the door.

This makes me feel so sad-- I think brothers and sisters should be close,
and I am rather unhappy about my relationship with my brother, at the
moment, although it's not exactly like what you describe. I wish I could
find a magic formula that would bring me and my brother, and you and yours,
and Jill's and her's, and everybody else's back together.

A few words about your brother: ungrateful little _________________ (fill
in the blank)

Yes he is. I was 13 when he was born and 15 for my other brother who lives
just a mile away and gave me one meal two days after I came out of hospital
and hasn't been in contact since.
I did not want to bother my aunt again with looking after me for days as she
has enough to do with my uncle recently breaking his hip, so I was hoping my
brother might step up to the plate. Nope.
They've both forgotten what I did for them. I made flash cards when they
were 3 to teach them to read to give them a good start in life. Which it
did, and they both earn more money than I do. I bought them Tonka toys so
they would give up their soothers in return.
All I ask is they acknowledge I need some help now and will well, help.
Fat chance.
The last phone conversation I had with my brother, he suggested I got rid of
all my chickens and Francis Drake "in case you cannot look after them
because of your health"

He did not mention Boyfriend, although when he was here he referred to him
as "it"
Boyfie was in the kitchen and my brother asked if I could put "it" outside.
He didn't need to ask, Boyfie took one look at him and was gone.
I don't blame him.
I must have done something wrong rearing this brother, my other brother has
Tigger who he spent a fortune on repairing his jaw after a road accident.
Tigger is fine now.
I would like to make friends with him but he thinks I am the pits. I try to
to stroke him but he just says Oh, F.O and disappears out of the cat door.
Can't help liking him though, he is very good with the children.
Myself, had I kittens to rehome I would not have given one to my brother
with 3 small children. I would have been wrong. Children are happy with
the cat, cat is happy with the children.
One of the children described Tigger as her brother. My brother said
"Tigger is a cat, he's not your brother."
She disagreed. As far as she is concerned Tigger is her brother. She will
not be moved from this idea.

There is a problem because I have found half sisters and brothers through
Genes Reunited. I knew my father had other children and now I've found
them.
My two brothers who I was brought up with since 11 had a different father
so when I found my new family they went berserk. Why?

Because it will affect their inheritance if I haven't made a will
