I had to go to work today, then volunteering. I am home pretty much the entire afternoon, here online.
My younger brother is 18 today, I woke up this morning and well who knew it was his birthday I went on my day.
My Mom goes where are you going, and I said the usual volunteer, then back for work. She goes well it's your brothers birthday.
I stood there sort of confused, why do I care. She goes well we have to be home all day for him. I sort of thought she was joking, my brother walks by in a rude attitude going your cheap *sshole don't buy me a gift (nope, I'm not wasting my hard earned money on someone who is so disrespectful, immature, and irresponsible).
I go when you start buying me a birthday gift I'll buy you one - which will never happy in my lifetime. He never says happy birthday, and actually this past birthday he punched me so hard in my face he shifted my nose, and I sat in the hospital because he didn't get his way.
So I walked out the door, and not going home until late tonight. I am not bending over backwards to please him just because it's his birthday, I will sit here in McDonalds sipping some hot chocolate for hours.

you are not in good terms with your brother so i think you don't have to do that, it will be some kind of torture on our part if we do something which we do not like to do. but who knows, that maybe someday somewhere in time, things will get better between you and your brother.

I know right.
That is my goal for 2013, I have set myself small goals, and big goals I am working towards them.
I am going once I get my seasonal job back in to see if they will give me a loan, or how much they will give me at least. Since I am out of work for a few months, barely making enough to live they wouldn't consider me until I have the income coming back in.

Wow, if someone treated me like that i would not go out of my way to buy them a gift or celebrate their birthday. I think you should save as much money as you can and get out on your own as quickly as you can. Family should not treat family in such a disrespectable manner.

Maybe, I should go pick through his poop 
.
I really don't know, I thought it was some joke when she said it.
Sure, we usually have a dinner, and cake for someone's birthday, which I was expecting. But I am not stopping my life for someone's birthday thouggh.
Oh well poor parentings, clearly has shown child that will be produced from it. Now being 18 he is responsible for his actions now.

No way should you drop everything for your brother. He would not appreciate it anyway! I don't even take the entire day off for my kids birthdays. I will work during the day while they are at school and request off the night to make them dinner and do cake, but I don't wait on them hand and foot all day.

I don't think that you should ever be expected to drop your usual plans for the day because of the fact that it it is someone in your family's birthday. However, I do think that it is always nice to always spend at least a little bit of time with your family members on the day of their birthday.
In our family it has always been very important that we spend some time together on birthdays. In fact, the issue for me is quite opposite of yours, my feelings get hurt if I am not asked to spend a little bit of time with a family member on their birthday.

Wow why do they think u should drop everything for a birthday? Birthdays are really no big deal I think of it as just another day unless your a young child. Your family is crazy, I would've just gone on with my day as well just like you did. When you have a real job you can't just call in because it's a family members birthday that's just not right. Your brother is immature, i'm sorry.

You will be feeling so much better when you are out in your own place. Then, you won't have to deal with such nonsense.
I can think of several gifts that would be appropriate for your brother. Unfortunately, you would get into trouble if you put a boot up there, and they have yet to perfect the technology that allows one to give someone a personality transplant. So... A bag of dung?
