Oh, my older sister's marriage broke-up, and she's moved back home with her 2 kids to temporarily live with me n' mum. But she expects our mother to look after them. And my sister has been complaining that she's not getting any support. And I wake-up this morning to my mother, my older sister and the eldest all arguing. With the older one shouting over them. I go:
"Would ya mind calming down, huh?"
"F*ck off!", my older sister roars.
"So, no-one in this family can resolve arguments, calmly?"
"Whit d'ye mean?!"
"D'you actually hear yerself right now?"
"But she f*ckin' it!"
"Did she? How come I'm just hearing you shouting, then?"
"Aww, f*ck off, Graeme!"
And Ive just been got worried emails from my oldest sister, asking if I'm okay. Which I responded to saying I'll be alright, but not to expect me to care about the family after I turn 30 next year. Cuz I am done with trying be the
"voice of reason". As well as joking that I had enough stories about my dysfunctional family that I could write a comedy show about what they've been like to live with for the past almost 30 years.
Though, I finally had a heart to heart with my mother, where we just venting about her daughters, my older sister. As well as finally swallowing my pride and acknowledging that my mother's relationship advice to me, age 15, wasn't wrong. You actually are better off alone in some case. But I also think that, if yer going react as my older sibling does during an argument and yer over the age 30, you clearly lacked the maturity need to be in a relationship. Nevermind being a parent...
I know that not a popular opinion to have of the wimmins these days. But it's the truth.
