| For us or anything. He just got out of a relationship of 13 years a few months ago & is very irresponsible throwing his $$$ away everywhere but where it needs to be. He doesnt get anyone bday presents, anniversary presents or even Mothers day/fathers day gifts. My dad is pretty sick, so anything i can do to help my parents i do.They are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary this year, so i decided that we could throw them a surprise party. He's taken no interest. I've spent already over a thousand dollars to make this day special, i asked him about money- he has none; i asked him who to invite-he didnt know; i asked him food ideas-he couldnt think.Then sends me a text message that he wants to help, he's just having a rough time right now.Yet, my parents have always been good to us. I messed up when i was younger, and they stood by my side. Right now i'm fighting a bad infertility battle & they are there..but he comes first. What can i do, to make him get with it?OH not to mention, whenever my parents need anything they call me & my husband (which i totally dont mind) and we're all planning on getting a mother/daugher house; but at the same time...it's like why doesnt my brother take the time to live this life NOW with his family instead of crying later that he didnt. |

| Sometimes it doesn't add up but your parents see him as the Golden child, the first born. Give it a few years when your parents see how well you are doing and what he's doing and you'll see an about face. Just keep being you and that's all the reward you'll need. He may come around and he may not. Just live your life. |

| well i think you have the syndrom of "nobody cares about me" when this probably really isnt the case. Your brother is obviously having a hard time and isnt in the mood to be helping or organizing parties, you just wants to kind of stay under the radar. Either way, maybe you should speak to your parents and tell them how you feel without throwing a pitty party. |
