3rd time I am rewriting this do to it closing or crashing. G R R R R
Lately I have been help out my brother any way I can. Its the least I can do, as he was very kind and let me stay with him and his new family. I've been doing such things as weeding,car washing, windows, mowing and a lot of other things that take a few hours and a bit of hard work.
However this is not what I am proud of. He is letting me stay there so if some thing needs doing I will do it. As I said, least I can do
.
What I am proud of is how I have kept control over my anger ( some thing I have struggled with a lot, and is the reason for me living with him in the first place). Now the thing that is making me very angry, and from that anger stress, is his wife. She is rude and offensive.
She is also the one I deal with most of the time as my brother works most of the day.
She is not kind when asking me to do something and is often rude e.g when she once ask me to do the washing up/stacking she tells me at 10:30pm and says do it in the morning (this happened 3 times total). When I tried explaining (in a kind, gentle and nice way, as i always try my hardest to do.) that I have no problem doing it and that I would like it if she could ask at a earlier time, so that I don't have to wake up and have to clean. She responded in a very nasty tone 'you should just do it every night' witch if she asked I wouldn't of even minded, its just she didn't ask or mention it, and that is if she asks.
She has also said things like 'you think you know every thing' (I always use the words IMO or I think and so on, and try to be kind and gentle when giving my opinion), other things like 'you can be so dumb some times' (this was to do with her explaining some thing to me witch I feel is more the way she explained it to me not me failing to understand, as i understand most people fine when they talk). My personal favorite 'you should put your dog down' I love my dog more then any person and my self, I found this very offensive but did not say a word as I feared if I did I flip out.
This all might seem like trivial things that don't matter but I think any one who as been in my position were you live with people that are doing you a favor and one of them or more take advantage of that to be very rude to you even if your try your best to help out and pull your weight, would agree that the little things build and add up and really get to you.
But I am VERY Proud that I have just smiled walked away when I am mad, and be respectful.
TL;DR rant about rude people you live with and being proud to be the bigger person.
