Just need to rant
So, I know this is dumb, but I just need to get it out and complain to somebody. I had made these plans this morning to go to this Wonder Woman thing at a store in town. They were doing raffles and a costume contest and it sounded like fun. We were going to leave the house at 2:30 and go, because it takes about a 30 minute drive to get there from my house and the raffles were from 3-4:30. Then we were going to do some shopping, find a place to feed the baby, and go get dinner. This was the first time I have really planned something involving taking the baby out for multiple hours and feeding him while out, but my mom and husband were coming, so I had support. I was really looking forward to it, and then my brother shows up at 2:15. Has all this crap he wants my mom to do, and then at 3:45 my husband and I are finally leaving the house, without the baby. At which point, it's just not worth it because the stuff I want to do is going to be over by the time we get there. And the baby is going to need to eat again at 6, so we would basically be driving 30 minutes to turn around and come right back. Or we could have just taken the baby, but then we are just leaving my mom and brother at my house by themselves when they have come to see the baby and "help"
I'm so disappointed. I feel like I haven't gotten to do much for myself in the past six weeks since the baby was born, and this may sound dumb, but this is something I was really looking forward to. And my brother does stuff like this all the time. It's like he has this sixth sense and whenever I am getting some sort of attention, he has to find some way to get it back on himself. I'm so mad that he thinks it's ok to just show up at my house and camp out on my couch for the rest of the day without even calling first, and that I can't say anything because it will cause a fight. And he thinks he's helping me.
I don't know what to do. I know it's not a big deal and I need to just get over it, but I am mad and disappointed and I feel like nobody cares how I feel. So I am "taking a nap" or sitting in my bed, crying, and griping to strangers on the internet.
