You want to hear a rant? I'll give you a rant.
I'm the second of four and all my mother wants for Mother's Day is to see her children. My older brother lives in Sunnyside, my younger lives in Weehawken, I'm in NJ as is my sister and my mother. My younger brother is pretty good about coming down but my older brother is not. So, I thought of a way to give her what she wants is to take her and my sister to NYC and have my brothers meet us. We'd all go to a show together. I thought if I took her to them it would be the only way she'd see all four of us.
My younger brother said he'd go see anything and would meet us there. I told them of my idea and sent them a list of shows that I thought would be appropriate for all five of us (my dad passed away 12 years ago). My older brother said no and wouldn't discuss it. So my younger brother finds out my older brother won't go and now he won't go.
So, here I am busting my butt to try and give my mom exactly what she wants for Mother's day and there they are putting themselves and what they want first. My mother sees my older brother Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. That's it. I cannot believe the selfishness of some people.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
