Taking care of a baby...

I'm currently living with my little brother, simply because our schools are both located at Waterloo. I have to admit that it feels much better having a family member living with you rather than living with only friends. But, I also have to admit that my little brother gives me much trouble daily; well not much, but let's say it's pretty stressful.

It is mainly stressful because my brother is a picky eater. He doesn't like to taste new things. Although I think he's much better at trying new things now, but... o.O" For example, yesterday, he pretty much ate a small-sized frozen pasta, chips and ice cream. I feel like I'm a really bad sister. Yesterday after I came home from my morning lecture, I felt very tired so I went back to sleep for a few hours. Because I suspect that I might still be sleeping during lunch time, so I left him a note saying that there's food in the fridge that Mom packed on the weekend, and all you have to do is defrost and slice the meat thinly, and eat. I mean, usually I would prep everything and all he has to do is sit down and eat. But, he is also an adult now.. my gosh he's 19! He did not even have the courage to prep food himself? And he is telling me that he wants to live by himself next year.. I can't even begin to imagine what'll happen..

Sometimes I sacrificed my sleep time to wake up early and prep food so that he can eat when he gets hungry. FYI, he eats little each time but more frequent. But, a lot of the times he ignored whatever I made and decided to fill himself up with instant noodles or TV dinner, etc. I mean, did he not realize how much time I spend everyday to prepare food? It's not like I don't have a lotta work! My school hours are twice his!! A life science student compare to a business student? o.O"

A few times I had to get up in the middle of the night when I realized that I've forgotten to take out the meat from the freezer. I hate having to have to defrost meat products, because sometimes they get partially cooked here and there, so I prefer taking it out at night so it'd thaw naturally overnight.

He doesn't even want to help washing dirty dishes that I used for cooking. You know how many dishes you're left with after the cooking part is done.. A LOT! Even though he saw that there were dirty dishes on the sink that I used for cooking, he wouldn't bother to wash them even when he was also washing his own dirty plates. I'm like, do you just simply don't appreciate my loving care and time that I spent, or do u just simply not care?

I know that he is not the type that do not care, however sometimes he just does not realize, u know what I mean. He maybe does not remember that I'm not his mommy or I'm not responsible for him. Well, in a way I am since I am his older sister, but it's not like I have to always be there for him. He should be helping me too, since he is the guy in the house, even though he's younger.

Anyway, I should stop complaining and go to class. No offense to whoever read this, including my brother.

Later days!
