My mom has a habit of referring to everyone only by first name which worsens this problem for me bc she will be like "oh by the way Kim is coming over this weekend" and when I go "oh your coworker?" She's like no my friend from college that showed up at your middle school graduation or something and I'm like Mother. I cannot possibly have figured that out nor do I remember her
Shared experiences 😩 I feel that. My mom actually had insane connections and memory. We will be like two states away and shopping for something and she we see someone she knows and I'll get into an unstoppable cutscene bc she genuinely remembers the aunt of someone who my brother knew in 1st grade or something
Nah my brother is crazy abt it. He once started an argument bc due to a misunderstanding he thought a celebration of life was a funeral and took it as an intentional lie (i know it wasn't) designed to disrespect and waste his time. He threatened to punch me when I pointed out how rude he was being to our mother who had lost a family member. I don't like that side of him
I think he has some reason to be upset at our parents. I think I overshadowed him a lot since academics weren't is forte, and they more or less forced him to learn an instrument when it was clear he didn't wish to. But at the same time, I think that that doesn't excuse bad behavior, and I hope he has grown and will continue to grow as a person since then. I wouldn't know since we obviously aren't very close
Oh damn yeah my older brother definitely roughed me up a bit as a kid and now thinking back I do think it was similar reasons but never too much, not to that extent. Ig cause we were boys and it was kinda just taken as tough love but we’re still close. but yeah I get how that can be hard kinda struggling with a sibling like that and having it cause a strain in your relationship hope your feeling better about it nowadays
