I Have A Very Stupid Brother

Janet · 08-14-2010, 03:14 PM

My younger brother took my Mom to car lots today and she bought...well leased a 2010 Toyota Rav4 for 3 years. What a stupid dumba$$.

I think when they passed out brains he thought they said chains and wanted his with large holes in them!!!

She is so thrilled and drove it out to show me. I'm very happy for her, but now she says that everything will fit so she can go to Florida. My brother didn't even talk with my older brother or myself about this. I'm so angry that I could stomp the you-know-what out of him and not think twice about it.

Mom called me up while at the dealership and was so happy. After I acted thrilled for her, I asked to speak to Brad and the very first thing I said to him was "do you have any idea at all what you've just done." He told me he didn't influence her in anyway.......yeah right.

She just took out 5 mailboxes....not her first accident or second....can't see well....deaf in one ear....on kidney dialysis....congestive heart failure. What the he** was he thinking?

Well....I took some pictures of Mom, at 87 and her very first ever brand new car...

I know she's happy, but you have every right to be pissed as hell at your brother. I think he left his brains at home.

The car is beautiful and she looks so happy, but...............

I know Gayle....she was so happy she was just glowing. There was no way I was going to bust her bubble, but I sure would like bust my brother!

I'd like to bust your bother too. And I can say that because I work with families in this very situation and I can tell you he did her no favor. We can only hope for a good outcome. And that does not include going to Florida this winter. There's no way she should be down there, unless she is already set up with a doctor to treat potential infection, dialysis should it be needed, someone to take her to the doctor, and come to her house to help her when she needs help, cuz she's gonna need help.

Oh Dear!

Oh my! He should be forced to go down to Florida with her!

I am sorry you now have something else to worry about Janet. Mom looks very happy, and she has my prayers that she will remain so happy.
