Inconsideration.....More of the same.

This morning at 4am my brother (from South Carolina) came knocking on the door like it was the middle of the day. He said that he had to knock hard so that he could be heard. He seemed to have no idea that what he did was inconsiderate. When I suggested that he should have called first -- a phone call would not have awakened everyone because the phone is in my father’s room. He said that when he is on the move, he doesn’t like to stop for any reason. I was hoping that I would at least get an apologize, but no, nothing. Later, he made some fish. First, he started to use a frying pan, but changed his mind – putting the hot pan on the plastic dish rack, causing the hot pan to melt the plastic dish rack. He decided to deep-fry the single fish is a soup pot. And, he left the greasy pot for someone else to clean.

Why is he in New York? A grandmother who has custody of a child is suing him for child support. The woman believes that he is the father. He has to be at the court at 9am on Friday. He wants our father to drive him there. And…reminds our father that he should be at the court by 7am. Everything else seems to have no affect on our father, but the idea of paying for the gas just to go downtown, cause my father to hesitate at first, but the more he thought about paying for gas, the more resistant he became about driving my brother downtown.
