not necessarily TA but if you really don’t want to hang out with your brother ONCE, i advice you to think differently before you lose him

Wont plan an outing cause hes 15??? (He is on the spectrum (verbal,independent, but high support)). He also said that im not doing anything except studying (ive done a whole project and im taking 20 credits this semester) like im not volunteering or looking for an internship (i am volunteering and looking for opportunities at school) I just wanna enjoy my one week at home before going back to college for until may.

girl i’m ngl, i think you are the AH. i’m in college too and we get to go home for a whole week to see our family. if you can’t plan one day, or even a couple hours to hang out with your brother, then yea you’re cooked. i’m so excited for my break to start and see my family, obviously i still have a shit ton of work to do, but you gotta find a balance.

especially if you’re not gonna come back home until May. your family misses you, and they just want to hang out with you. imagine if you were in your brothers position and you felt like your sister didn’t gaf about hanging out with you. you should be grateful that your family loves you and wants to see you. if you genuinely can’t spend a little bit of time with them, you don’t deserve your family. school is important but family should ALWAYS come first

Also thats extremely harsh. I appreciate your perspective but dont think i dont appreciate them. They barely even text me when i text them first so imagine how i feel always putting in the effort

it didn’t seem harsh to me, it seemed truthful and i have a feeling you just didnt like the thought that they may feel that way. you posted and people have answered, i suggest you take things into consideration
