Just need to rant

[Jay_Bunny]

Delete this if you want, but I just need to cool my head and rant to someone. I'm so sick of all this crap. Just because I'm not the favored child, I have to put up with a bunch of crap. I'm sick of it. My grandmother leaves me a message on my phone today telling me I owe her $915 and she wants it now. Now, you may ask yourself why she is asking for this money. Well I'll tell you, but first a little history. My brother gets his car painted, a new bumper, new side door, new hood, all for his birthday. When my car isn't working right, I borrow money from my grandmother (a whopping $80) to help pay the $280 it costs to get it fixed (and $200 is my ENTIRE paycheck). She wants me to pay it back. My brother goes to the doctor cause he's sick, he gets meds, he gets better, doesn't pay a dime of his own money. I have polycystic fibrosis (spelling) and have to take meds three times a day. My grandmother wants me to pay for the meds and the lab bills, and the doctors visits. My first year of college, I get into a good school but decide to come home after the first year to attend community college so I can be home. I now have to pay for my own school. During a low income time, I couldn't pay for my classes, grandmother did and is now asking for the entire amount back. My brother is about to attend college. He didn't even get into a good college. He now has to go to community college because he HAS TO, not because of choice. My family is going to help him pay for college.

Is anyone seeing any kind of favoritism happening here. Oh and did I mention, that when my mother was unable to pay bills one month, I GAVE her $800 to pay the bills and when she told me she'd pay me back I told her not to worry about it because she was my mother. Now when I need money, no one is stepping up to help me. Sure I have money in the bank to cover that $915, no problem, but the thing is, I should have to be paying squat. I'm so sick of this she owes, he owes bullmonkey crap that my family pays so much attention to. My mother has not paid that $800 back because I said don't worry about it, but now I need some medical expenses paid that I was never asked to pay at first but suddenly they want me to pay it. Who's the child that works 39 hours a week plus is trying to get an education, get my own place, pay for my own things, and have a life? Me. My brother is still in highschool, basically is able to save all his money that he earns from a part time job and is about to go to community college because he didn't get a good enough SAT score to get into a good college. I mean, does anyone else see anything amiss here?

Sorry for the long drawn out rant. I just needed to write it all out to someone. Once again, feel free to delete it. I'll probably regret posting it as soon as its done posting anyway.

Ummmm... well in my opinion, you should pay back any money you agreed to pay back. This whole thing sounds kinda like "over years" so why would you be angry now? You apperently knew that he was being "favored" so why are you suprised when you have to pay up to what you agreed to. Now if you borrowed money not agreeing to pay back, that sounds kinda stupid but if you said you would, too bad. I don't know what to do about your bro but you knew this day would come so just pay what you said you would. Thats all I can give you.

Its like that with my sister too. Except for thank god, my grandparents see this and scold my parents every time we go visit or they come here. That is major crap for you. I think it is HIGHLY unreasonable to make you pay it all at once. It sucks that she wants it at all, but all at once? Tell her you will start paying back 50 a month or something. Im sorry you are having a rough go of it. And you meds? Whats up with that? You have to pay for meds down there? Move to Canada, government covers it all (on the downside you cant have rats in alberta because "there are no rats in alberta and we are not allowing them in" like rats know provincial borders) Any way good for you for getting into a good school. Talk to you Grandmother and tell her you appreciate what she does. See if that will help you. I hope this all clears up for you, and if you become so strapped for cash you know who 2 donate your herps to! Good luck.

This is actually over the past semester, not years. I only agreed to pay back the 80 for the car and the school money. (Even then I think school money is unfair because my brother is getting help for his schooling) I also told her I'd pay over time with money I earn rather than money that is supposed to be for savings and emergency money only. So the fact she's adding in all this extra stuff and making me pay it all at once is what is bothering me.

How old are you? Can't you get a government grant for school? And if your meds are needed to keep you alive, the Department of Social Services could help you pay for them or find a pharmacy that works on a sliding scale. But I guess this is only if your over 18. And if your not, Its your parents responsibility to take care of you financially, emotionally, and physically. If you are over 18 welcome to adult hood.

My best piece of advise is, to just push the jealousy aside. It is gonna do nothing but cloud your soul.

agreed.


If I complained about everytime one of my sibs got more than me I would be a very unhapy person.

My family believes that I should be able to get things on my own because I am the strongest of my sibs.

they are right.
