My Mother rang me last night to tell me my brother's girlfriend has just had her baby. My Mother knows I won'tnbe interested and I know no details other than it's a girl, which I knew anyway.
My brother works in a shop for 16 hours a week, they apparently don't give people more hours than that. He has two DC from a previous relationship (both 'accidental', as was this one apparently... ) and although does see them refuses to get a proper job to pay their Mum proper maintenance as he 'wants to see his girlfriend as much as possible'. He left the mother of his two children for his current girlfriens after having an affair with her, which he constantly denied to my Mother and made his ex out to be a mentalist who ws trying to stop him seing his DC.
Brother and current girlfriend smoke pot, she smoked it whilst pregnant, which he agreed with as apparently it helped with her morning sickness....
They were living with her Dad until late in the pregnancy, the Dad is on benefits too. Brother and his GF were gobsmacked a baby wouldn't get them a council house/flat and so are renting privately, paid for by housing benefit.
I feel sorry for his DC, but feel no emotional connection at all to my brother. He is quite a bit younger than me, so we didn't really grow up together. I wouldn't choose to be friends with someone like that, so why stay on touch purely because he is my brother? (well, half brother actually) I really want nothing more to do with him.
Am I just a heartless bitch?!
