My brother

So far today was pretty much okay. I am quite busy at work, but we chatted and laughed together, so the time flies.

What is starting to bother me is the way my brother is recently treating me. He stays with me and teh last week or so he is really talking to me as if I am crap. If I try and chat to him, he gets irritated with whatever I say and raise his voice to me. This is starting to freak me out, as I am looking after him. I feed him, pay his smokes, drive him everywhere. This is no way to say thanks.

He just finished school last year and is currently looking for a job and he might feel stressed about that, but that is no reason to scream at me. In fact, I am the one who submits his CV everywhere. I am trying to find him a job, taking him to interviews. It has happened quite a few times already that I get him numbers of people who have jobs available and then he just doesn't phone them at all.

He cannot expect life just to walk up to him either. He must do his part in finding a job. I am thinking of giving him an ultimatum. I hate being nasty, so I don't know if  I will, but I am sick of my hole family disregarding me. I think he should step up to the plate and take responsibility.

If he wants to stay in my house, he should abide by my rules, and I am going to tell him that.
