So the phone rings here, and who gets up and goes to answer it but me as always. Cause the other two are always too lazy to get their butts up off the couch to do it. It's someone for dad claiming they have his supplies and I couldn't understand them totally and hear them well due to the A/C being on too, so there was some confusion and me talking out loud while the brother is watching TV in that room. He starts to get angry (what a surprise)and goes over to me in a temper tantrum saying to give him the phone, but I refuse and tell him to sit down. Cause I was scared. He might yell at the person on the phone which he does do on occasion. I'm not dealing with anyone whose coming at me in a rage even for the phone! So he got so pissed off I told him to sit down, acting like a little baby. Then he starts insulting me saying it was quiet while I wasn't here, etc etc. That he's never gonna try to help me again. I'm like, well when do you ever help me with anything??! Like the other day when I had asked him to water some of the gardens out side as he took the hose at the time I usually do the gardens and so I thought he could take 15 minutes to put some water on three gardens, but no he didn't. (I started another discussion on this the other day as well) There was a yelling match here and he is flipping out on me again in the presence of my parents, who are elderly and sick. I'm not in the best of shape either with my depression, nerves and upcoming surgery. Geesh. I wish he'd live somewhere else. This was just over him not being able to hear like 4 minutes of his TV. I think he loves that TV more than anything in the world sometimes. Sicko.

I know there are men who do not like to talk on the phone. I know Randy and I have been looking for places to live and I am the one who has to make the phone calls and set up the appointments. I remember when his mom was alive I had to always make her doctor's appointments (especially when her speech started to go) because Randy would forget to write down the appointment time. If the call was for your dad could you have handed him the phone? I am sorry that your brother was being lazy. I am sure it makes it hard for you having to do everything when it sounds like your brother is capable. Does your brother work?

Dad is hard of hearing which is another reason I had to stay on the phone, but if I had handed him the phone he would have been talking on the phone too in that room. Just like I was. My brother works at a menial job. He gets alittle irritated when his TV is on and he can't hear it which is about 2/3 of the time he is here. It makes it hard for anyone to talk in the house when he's home in general. If he talks during a show then it's OK. I swear I dunno what it is with him and his TV. One day he will be buried with a remote and maybe the TV itself.

hi nailtech I do not blame you as I hate to trust someone who is furious and coming at me,He would have insulted your dads' supplie and that wou ld not be good.no good when someone is in a rage.Some
men think more of the TV programs that anyone else in their
lives, the jerks.Your brother sounds like he needs some anger management classes to me. poor you.as he does not sound like he helps you out then you have little to worry about.

He has a temper, bottom line, and I have known him to start cursing and yelling at people on the phone and not just his family here. He is a jerk of all jerks. These weekends are the worst at times, it's been awhile since he's screamed at anyone but when he does it it seems to make him feel "superior" to everyone. He used to do this to my mom and my dad but not so much now that they are elderly. He puts it all on me, whatever for I don't know. But he does have some coughing problems, so he should get himself checked out and stop putting this temper crap on his family. Right now he is doing his favorite thing once again (what else is new, thats all he does) and watching the TV with mommy. Pathetic kind of person. I think his one and only girlfriend years ago dumped him cause he never took her out much and stayed home at her house to watch TV. He never revealed the reason but soon before I heard they broke up I heard a telephone convo in which he was saying that He understands that it's right to want to go out and have fun, etc etc. In other words he didn't do enough of that and she probably left him out of boredome. I do know he didn't break up with her first.
