Anyhow it hurts me... 😞
I've tried much, really much to come closer to my brother and his family (wife and three kids) and I've tried my best to be a good aunt but anyhow it doesn't work... 😞
When I inherited our ancestor's house (a very ancient building, about 500 years old), I invited my brother and his family to move inside this house, in a really BIG flat which I have basic renovated for a BIG money. I wouldn't want him to pay rent, he could have lived there FOR FREE without to pay just one single cent rent to me. PLUS I offered him the magasin which belongs to our house. He could have equipped there his OWN BUSINESS (my brother is a business man), also FOR FREE, without to pay one single cent rent to me. But my brother rejected. 😞
Now foreign people live in the house and equipped a business in the magasin. They are good people, for sure, but it's not the same as when you live with your own family in the house. 😞
Michael, one of my brother's kids, LOVES music and wants to learn how to play an instrument.
I offered my brother the piano I am owning - he rejected. 😞
I've offered my brother the harmonium I am owning. It is almost 200 years old and has a really great sound. I would have given it to him, especially to my nephew Michael, for free - but my brother rejected. 😞
Now probably a foreign person will take the instruments which are since hundreds of years in our family... 😞
One day I wanted to show Michael a flute. He (12 years old) was not sure if he really wanted to own it and so he wanted just A LOOK at it before he decided. But my brother even didn't give me the permission just to SHOW the flute to Michael.
Now probably also a very foreign child which I don't know at all will get this flute... 😞
One day my brother and his three kids visited me. I have plenty, really PLENTY of glasses where you can drink mineral water, juice, lemonade, whatever...
The kids LOVED my glasses but when I wanted to give them a few my brother rejected. 😞
Fact is: Whenever I want to give a gift it is rejected. Whether it's big and expensive or small and cheap.
Well, I am used to it now, and since my brother rejected about so many years so many things I don't give gifts to him or my nephews.
Nevertheless it hurts me because my nephews maybe think that I am a bad, parsimonious aunt. 😞
It just hurts... 😞
