Good morning, friends.

I have been waiting for my brother to come today. He is trying to fix my cellphone (or give me one of his old ones). at a point he yelled at me because I didn´t know easy things about technology that I should know. He shocked me. But he stayed until past 1 am and he could not do what he wanted to do. He decided after a while that my wifi was not good and he said that he´d come today for the cellphones to take them to his house where he knows that he has a better signal. I appreciate that he wants to give me a better cellphone. But I do not understand that he is sure that he knows better than I what is is good for me or what I should know and learn. I will wait for him until lunch time (he is not at home now and he did not come to get my cellphone)and only then I´ll decide when I will shower for Lili´s visit. PS. Just now he came with a halo and a very sweet temper to take all the cellphones to his home to see what he could do. At this moment I don´t mind if he takes a hammer and destroys them as long as he doesn´t do it in front of me. Yesterday it took me 2 episodes of NCIS plus the rest of the leche flan to relax. Now I´m boiling a corn to eat it with lots of butter and salt. I prefer yummy food to therapy.

@MarieCoyle But he might not even notice the ants then.

@wolfgirl569 The wicked imp that lives inside my head was thinking if the ants were sort of hidden, he would eat them. Then our Marga could inform him he just ate an ant sandwich!

I am sorry he is acting like a spoiled child. That’s ridiculous. You deserve better treatment than that. Ask him to lunch and give him an ant sandwich. (Just kidding, but well…)

He has always behaved like that. But now he should have learned. He is only one year younger than me. I am going to invite him with his wife after she had a procedure she needs. And I will cook a nice dinner for them. He can´t help being like that.

@MarieCoyle He DID invite me last week and after talking about the water filter I had, brought me the best one that I had seen. My SIL had discarded it because a new model had appeared. And then, when he saw my cellphone, I also gave me one of his old cellphones. He started to yell when he found out that I didn´t know ALL the passwords of every program in my cellphone. And he worked at it for hours. He is irritating but he has no idea that he hurts people with his temper.

@marguicha You are a sweet and kind lady, he needs to appreciate having such a sister as you. I truly miss my own sister so very much. And I still like the idea of feeding him an ant sandwich!

@MarieCoyle He has had this temper since he was a child. But then he spent part of his energy plating soccer with his friends.

@marguicha I hate it when people have to get mad over little things. Life is hard enough without that.

I know that something in delicious food triggers domething in our brain cells and it helps.

We have not been lucky with our brothers Marga. My brother also acts like a spoiled teenager.

I´m sorry for him. I don´t think that he can be happy having to deal with his temper. And he is a very intelligent man. Only he doesn´t have a bit of emotional intelligence.

@LadyDuck I´m glad that they decided not to have children. Else the children would have had as many problems as your niece had.

He sure does. And I´m not used to that. My husband always treated me with respect. I think that he doesn´t even know how insulting he is at times. Yesterday, after I told him that I would have to eat the rest of the leche flan as therapy after his yelling he tried his best to be nicer. Today he, again, started to yell in front of Lili but then I told him to let Lili finish the cellphone fixing.

@marguicha I guess that is just the way he is and doesn't realize. it is good that you let him know when he is being disrespectable.

Certain phone problems (and certain Software Tech issues also ) are quite tricky! Best of wishes to your brother! Yes, he needs to be more polite! May be you can go for a mix of Yummy food and Therapy!

@marguicha Yes certain medical treatments can be quite expensive. It is the expenses that are making me postpone my pending Dental treatment. Have a nice day !!

I don´t have money for therapy and I don´t trust shrinks. I think that most of them are nuts. A chocolate cake or the like are better.

Yummy food IS therapy. I'm sorry he yelled at you. Brothers shouldn't do that. In fact, nobody should.
