we've been done over yet again


In my family, I usually do a lot of the 'domestic' stuff that normally a mum would do. I.e. washing, cleaning, cooking, food shopping,etc. Stuff that a lot of us are fairly ungrateful for until we get old enough to have to start doing it ourselves. As it is, I have taken on a lot of this domesticity from my mum because she can no longer do it.

And I hate doing it, but ill be honest, I don't mind it as much because she cant physically do it, not because she won't. So as it is, I don't have to pay rent or bills or things like that because essentially me and my mum feel I pay my way through housework and other bits. I also don't pay for my car insurance. I used to share my little car 'Beowulf' with my Dad, not that I used it very much as I don't do much driving other than to my stables, gym and to visit my nan to do her cleaning. But I liked having the fact that if I needed to go out or I had plans for dinner, I had a car there, every night and I could pretty much come and go as I please.

Now my younger brother, is a twat. I can say it nicely or I can say it bluntly. His driving downright SCARES me. Its dangerous in my eyes, he drives like a goddamned maniac .. typical boy racer sort of shit. And as such, he is basically on his third car since he passed his test just over 3 years ago. So I wouldn't trust him with a frigging Matchbox car let alone my little car.
And to my utter horror, around mid August he had another accident and literally totalled his car, now whether you chose to believe his story or not is up to you. I don't.
His car was a complete write off and he couldn't even drive it home. Long and short of it is, is now an ongoing insurance battle that I don't really care about and im certain he is going to lose. Anyway, so until he turns 21, we would end up paying through the neck - because hes too skint with a full time job and a serious addiction to gaming, drinking, smoking and doing stupid and expensive shit - so my dad decides to wait till hes 21 to add him to the insurance for the little blue car.
Yippee.

And so this week Robert has turned 21. And I have seen the fucking car ONCE since. Now according to my dad, he told Robert that 'although he was on the insurance, it wasn't his car, he was not to modify it and I HAD PRIORITY if I wanted it.'
So first night, he took it out. second night, he took it out. Third night, I GOT IT. BUT
and heres the crux, after I took it out, I was 'asked' (and I say asked with apostrophes to show the fingers in the air signal) to give my car to Robert on MY ONLY NIGHTS OUT because he didn't want to take the bus to college. I MEAN, REALLY?!?!?! 
I cant drive my fucking car during the day because they have it for work, I cant drive it at night because HE has it, I cant drive it at weekends because HE has it.. WHEN DO I GET TO DRIVE THE FUCKING THING.
And when he damages it, because he will, he takes no care of anything that isn't his, I refuse to believe its not his fault, I refuse to pay for the damage repair. I literally might as well go and buy my own car, pay for the insurance, tax and petrol and not fucking bother with my little blue car. I don't get to drive it, why insure me on it?

So yet again, my brother has screwed me out of something else of mine.
The voices and I agree that family is not worth everything, especially when all they do is take.
