Ok, well the family dramas have well and truely started in the lead up to Dad's service.  A littel background info here... My family are very um, how to say it nicely "blue collar working class" oh, be buggered i'll just say how I feel, WHITE TRASH.  That is all well, and good, I'm well used to them now.  They (my brothers) are both very self centred, and both have huge chips on their shoulders bout people like myself, who seem to have a "better life" than them, because the world obviously owes them somthing.  Now I am the "black sheep" of our family, because I have #1 a tertiary (sp?) education, #2 Decent well paid job #3 have a mortgage #4 a partner with ambition and own buisness #5 drive a late late model car that is both waranted and registered (and insured...)#5 don't hate people who are "better off" than myself.  Anyhow.  It would seem that in their eyes, if you have a nice home and drive a new car and wear gold jewellery (this has been mentioned time and again, apparently only snobs wear gold)then you are rich and don't mind your family landing on top of you year after year for a free holiday for a week every summer without contributing so much as a bottle of milk.... anyhow, I digress.  One of my bros wasnt going to be able to make it up for dad's funeral, becasue he couldn't afford it (although the fact that Dad has been dying for 2 years and he has had PLENTY of warning about it seems to have escaped him ) so we offered him a bed here and a tank of gas to help out.  no worries, as this is the brother who dosen't land on us for free hols every year.  ANYHOW, he turns up todau withhis partner and their 4 year old, and announces Oh yeah he has chicken pox and we only just found out this afternoon.  The kid has the spots, and must have been sick leading up to it.  So my rant is(among other things) WHO IN THE BLINKING HELL DOSEN'T KNOW THEIR KID HAS CHICKEN POX WHEN THEY HAVE THE SCABS.  and WHO IN THE BLINKING HELL WOULD EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO STAY WITH  WOMAN 5 WEEKS OFF HAVING A BABY WITH A TODDLER WHO HASN'T HAD THE CHICKEN POX WHEN THEIR KID HAS THEM?????????????? They couldn't see why I was annoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My midwife said not such a problem for me, but the 3 week incubation period would mean that Jake is just coming out in blisters and still infectious right at a time that would be unsafe for my baby.  HOW BLOODY IGNORANT!!!!!!!  

RANT RANT RANT.

next rant will be how my mother hit the roof becaue my friends have been sending me flowers and she hasn't recieved any, and I tried to give her some of mine.
