Sibling squabbles
Posted by Adie on January 11th, 2009. Filed under: Family: At Home.When you come from a large family like me, one of the common occurrences is squabbles. A squabble is defined as a noisy quarrel, usually about a trivial matter (ref). In our family, we have this almost every day.
My brother is always the source of squabbles in our family. It is my fault (and my mom’s) actually. My brother grew up spoiled and pampered. This is the reason why he is hardheaded, to the point that he feels like his way is always the right one. He won’t listen to anyone unless you shout at him and unless he feels like I am truly angry already. I hate being angry because I feel like I would explode every time I feel that way. But he really tests my patience most of the time.
Just a few minutes ago, he was asking our sister to iron his school uniform for him. He just realized then that he forgot to tell our laundrywoman to prioritize his pants. He doesn’t want to wear the other ones for some reason. I told him that the laundrywoman will only do the laundry on Monday. He was irritated about this. He is asking me to call up the laundrywoman. Of course I won’t do that. I scolded him about his habit of doing things at the last possible minute. He stormed out and went to his room to show his displeasure.
This got me so angry again that I started a litany of his “mistakes”. I was so darn angry that I felt like my head will explode. And all because of his pants that he forgot to ask our laundrywoman to wash right away.
I really hate squabbles. I am normally the one who puts a stop to it. But when I am directly involved, expect it to turn into a full-fledged tirade. I hate being angry!

Manay, I think normal to pag may student pa sa bahay natin. Nuon kase, nung kami pa ay estudyante pa, almost everyday may arguments sa bahay. Pero nung lahat na kami ay nakatapos at may work na rin, nako ang saya-saya ng pamilya.
About your brother naman, sana he knows how to iron his uniform. O baka naman he is just lazy or spoiled lang talaga. Peace po bro…
