i've posted about my brother visiting -- how difficult it is for me to be assertive and speak my opinion in conversations with him.

he wants to visit me for Memorial Day weekend . . . aughh!! that's waaayyyy too many days, being around him. i don't know how to tell him he can only stay two nights and not three.

when he is here, somehow i need to focus only on the positive stuff about my bro. his obnoxious behaviors, somehow i must overlook.

also, there's the issue of breastfeeding. i don't feel comfy doing that around him. should i leave the living room and breastfeed somewhere away from my bro? that would leave my hubby all alone with my bro (giggle). i have a shawl to cover myself as i breastfeed, but the baby pushes it away because he hates it covering his face.

i love my bro . . . but i love my sanity, too.
