Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Grandfather passed away....

My deepest sympathies on your loss.

I understand when someone wants you to do everything and including cutting in on your personal plans just to accomodate themselves.

My sister (although she's twenty years younger than your brother - so we can blame hers on immaturity) is always like that. She wants rides out to my dad's and then wants to come home when she wants. I just told her take your own vehicle. Although it seemed rude at the time (and her vehicle wasn't very dependable either, but she worked and could have bought a better vehicle) she now asks me when we are planning to go there and come back. If it doesn't fit her schedule she just drives herself - no questions, complains or problems.

Just remember - your brother is old enough to have a reliable vehicle and have everything he requires to take care of himself. It he doesn't have those things - that is his choice and should not burden you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...you keep your schedule the way you want it and don't give a second thought.
