I love my brother… I  love him to bits…. for God’s sake he’s my big brother.  Trust me… no-one could love him like I do… but right now… right now… *mumbles*

Whilst my house is an open house to him (he has a key) I really am starting to get ticked off with him being in my house All.The.Frigging.Time…. 

About a month ago he cheerfully came to me and told me he didn’t have any water… he had ripped out his entire water system (including bathroom).  It follows that… as he lives about a 1 minute walk away from me… if he should need water for anything… and I mean ANYTHING.. he would just wander across to me…. be it morning… afternoon or the middle night.  I told him it was a ridiculous thing that he had done… to which he promptly got a shitty on like a 2 year old and walked out… only to come back about 2 hours later when he need to pee…. cos yeah…. he hasn’t got any water.

What is really pissing me off about this whole situation is that he didn’t order his new bathroom til last week… or his new kitchen (oh I forgot to mention he ripped out his kitchen about two months ago and so has been eating here non stop since then.

So yeah… whilst I appreciate that I’m his sister and should be happy to help out… whilst I appreciate fully that he bought me my little car last year… (I didn’t ask him to… I’ve tried to pay him back and he wouldn’t let me)..  Am I wrong to think that he’s taking the piss a bit when not only am I feeding him (because for some reason he’s not using his microwave or stove or hob even though they all work perfectly well) but he’s using my house as though it were his own.  He comes over to go to the loo and doesn’t leave.  He comes in at 8 in the morning and makes himself drinks and food (without asking if its ok) with MY drinks and food… which I have bought.  He puts on my tv… my fire… uses my electricity… he sits all day on my sofa… eating my food for lunch and dinner… not making any effort to clean up after himself… even though he can quite easily go back to his place because he has all that shit working….   And he’s done all this without offering to give me any money whatsoever. 

He’s eating me out of house and home and upping my utility bills by being in my house all day long when usually everything is off because I’m at work and HB is at school… he does all this and he hasn’t offered me shit….

Am I being unreasonable?   I’m thinking I might just give him the keys to the car and tell him to take back his damn gift because I can’t be assed with being beholding towards him for the rest of my damn life.

When he come in and goes straight to my kitchen and uses my food and drink…. I want to tell him he’s taking the piss… I want to just tell him I think he’s being incredibly shitty and rude for doing it without even asking if it’s ok… but I just can’t bring myself to do it… because I just can’t face the crappy way he will treat me… the crappy way he’ll have a go at me… the crappy way he’ll make me feel for daring to say something to him.

I’m actually tempted to start seeing someone again in the hope that if they hang out with me in  my house in the evening it might just stop him sitting around my house at night time…

God I’m 40 next Saturday… I’m frigging pathetic…
