My relationship with my brother

Today, I was having a good time, doing my chores, mowing the lawn, and washing laundry. I was exhausted from all that work, and needed time to myself. I was sitting down to eat dinner when i hear my brother say my name to which i go see what's up. I'm greeted with a rude and impolite "This is wet! Why would you bring this up if it wasn't done!" That was just a good way to bring my spirits down, and to add insult to injury, he says this "I'm tired of the Half-a**ed bs!" to which i was offended greatly and hurt by. I thought it was dry when i felt of it, so i brought it up thinking it was done. But I guess i'm not allowed to make mistakes, that everything has to be perfectly done to his standards. Now I'm upset and he's lost so much of my respect for him.

Now understand that I have a bad case of depression and having had that said to me was a low blow to my emotions. I'm wishing I could move in with my bf sooner rather than later to escape this verbal abuse. What should've been said was "My mattress pad is still wet, can you please take it back downstairs and make sure it's completely dry? To that I would have no problem, and would do so gladly. I just want him to start showing more polite words if i make a mistake in judgement, not treat me like I'm horrible at everything I do at home.

I'm very tired of his BS too, and hope to someday leave and kiss his sorry butt goodbye as I flip him off as i get in my bf's car.

Yeah, his approach was wrong, but you have to be careful with putting away semi wet laundry. If it's not fully dry, it could develop mold, ruining your articles.

Isn't the fault at both sides here?

 

I have a father like this. Everything needs to be by his way and only his way. And you cannot imagine how rough our relationship is. But I still love him, because that's the way he is. And with time he finally learned the way I am as well.

 

Your bro should be more considered, but let's face it. It's family. It's no corporate mumbo-jumbo where you go and form your sentences carefully. When at home, last thing we expect is to always behave as if we had our hands watched. He should have been more considered, but you also should have made sure the chores were completed to the letter. Unless you can freely tell yourself you've done absolutely anything to make sure everything was fine ;x

Yet, the reaction is overboard and unjustified indeed. You mentioned that?

 

Sorry if this sounds blunt, but this is just way too familiar for me. Been part of like 20 years of my life where I often slacked off :< Wish I didn't.

Well they said the item felt dry when they put it away.

Move out! I don't know how old you are, but living alone is very resfreshing. Me and my bro' were always at each other's throats when we lived in the same house... now I have my own place, we're almost friends and quite civil towards each-other. We still see each other often, but we don't fight anymore. It's amazing.

The problem with moving out is I can't afford to since jobs are a hard thing to get cuz of experience requirements.
