I love my brother to death. He and his wife are some of the best friends I have. He's visiting right now, and it's making me feel like crap. While I really enjoy spending time with him, my mom is being a complete *** to me (funny how that seems to happen when family visits... or anyone else, like she's too good to have me and my wife in her house). I can suggest things and offer my opinion, and she just shoots it down. My brother says the same things, and she takes it like gospel and as if she had never heard it before. All day I have gotten snotty remarks form her and snidly sarcastic responses to anything I say... I can try to wtch a documentary on tv, or somethign that interests me and she gets up and walks away saying how aweful a choice my show is. My brother puts on anyhting he wants and she watches it intently (I tried to put on the same show a few weeks ago and she commented on how stupid it was). I don't get it. I know I can't do anything right in her eyes ever, but it's so much worse when other people visit. I want to spend time with my brother. I want to enjoy his company the one time I see him all year. I miss him (my wife and I used to hang with them all the time, but then we moved across the country, so we only see them once a year). I want ot have fun, but she just makes me want to cry and hide. I know I'm useless and have a ****-ton of issues. I know I suck at life, but does she have to rub it in so much? UGH!
