[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a rational person and I agree with them

We've had 4 elders pass. There are many ways to help, not always the way other's dictate.[/quote]

It’s not dictating when you ask for help and they always say they are too busy.

It’s not dictating when all expectations are out the window and have essentially devolved to “Gee, I wonder if they will bother to call or visit this month/this summer?”

Yet for whatever reason the unhelpful one and their spouse will be the first to text as a holiday approaches to ask what the plans are. Not because they ever want to host or offer to help, but simply so they can waltz in and enjoy the magical merriment orchestrated by the helpful siblings.

Anyone else have a sibling like this? It’s baffling how clueless some people can be. [/quote]

Look, it has become so obvious that you and sibling #1 do not care for the other sibling, and pretty sure other sibling knows. You kind of sound like bullies. [/quote]

Hardly.

ICYMI: venting on dcum precisely to avoid losing it with a sibling who is blissfully unaware we are annoyed does not equate to bullying. Quite the opposite.

I suspect you skew unhelpful IRL.

Perhaps this thread will serve as a gentle nudge to try harder…or even just a tiny bit. [/quote]
