Re: Families!
What was his explanation - apart from being 'busy' 
Of course, you've not been busy at all; moving to the other side of the world, settling your family, finding employment and a home.....
Blooming families - who'd have 'em?
Chin up - at least your son's still coming

Re: Families!
Hi Wendy,
I thought that's what he would say. You know where I am if you want to talk. Not that I can talk much at the moment. It looks as though you have smacked me in the mouth instead of you brother.
Chin up mate.xxx
Love Julia.xxx

Re: Families!
this is really frustrating and hurtful for you. I know that I would feel very upset and hurt at the fact that everyone has tried to help him and he just cant be arsed.
Can your mother not come instead?
probably he is too ashamed to talk to you at present as he realises how stupid he has been.
usually it is not that they are uncaring although it seems like it, it is that time passes quickly and they (blokes) are disorganised.
I bet your Mum is really cross too.
never mind enjoy your sons visit and let brother make his own arrangements in future

Re: Families!
Well flights all booked for my son and brother to visit in three weeks time. I was all excited about seeing them both, bought beds etc.
My son has just called and told me my brother isn't coming, because he hasn't got a passport
This flight has been booked since January, and has been planned since we left last July. But apparantly, he's been too busy to go to the post office to get a form.
My MIL had told him 4 months ago that she would take him down there to get one, she would sign the declaration to say it's him etc and that she would take the form back in for him. So all he had to do was sign the damn thing.
Oh, and I've paid for this trip!
Am I being totally unreasonable to think that he's a waste of space?. I'm so bloody mad with him
I was going to put ARRRRGGGHHHHH as the title

Re: Families!
It is such a big thing for you, and you were so looking forward to it, I can understand how you feel. Very let down and disapointed with him.
It sounds to me though as if it is no big deal for your brother, he obviously doesnt understand how important it is for you, a bit selfish I think.
I'm sure he still loves you though, just doesnt see the big picture.

He's always been the same. You need to put a rocket up his backside to get him to do anything. All my son got fromhim yesterday was, well I've been trying to buy some time, and I've not been well (which means, I can't be bothered I'd rather play the playstation!) and I'm not making that up, that's how it's always been.

Sorry to hear about your brother behavior, not so nice especially you've been looking forward for him to come over with your son, you know all is not lost, you have your son coming, & you want to spend all your time with him, & wont have time for your brother ( I think that's how he feels that you might not have time for him).
I remember around 10 years ago I booked a family holiday, & my OH had to work & couldnt take the time off, I went to the travel agent & ask if I can put my sister & niece on the ticket instead, I only had to pay a little bit more towards it, but you can check with the travel agent or where you purchased the ticket if someone else can come instead of your brother maybe your son's girlfriend.
