I didn't get to gbcn at all yesterday. It was nuts! Work was crazy busy, I had small amount of drama with stbx (nothing major), and my brother apparently got married and notified the entire family via text after it was done. He specifically asked us not to put anything on fb about it but this morning my feed is full of shit from his new wife talking about how happy she is and how she's doing such and such with her hubby, on and on and on. Extended family members keep commenting on the fact that they weren't invited and part of me wants to follow their comment with one of my own....
I will admit that my views on this are skewed because I do not like the new wife at all. I think she is a childish beebee with no common sense or tact.

Oddly enough the drama with stbx was probably the easiest part of the day. It was kind of familiar territory.
The situation with my brother is harder because my mom is really upset and I'm trying to help her. It makes me angry that he's left this mess and now I'm cleaning it up. He wasn't even going to call mom until I told him he should. A mother should not learn about her child's marriage via text.

The one of the stupidest parts of all of this is that it's the second time he's gotten married and not told anyone. The first time his friends dad called my parents. At least this time he sent out the text himself. Maybe by his 5th marriage he'll figure out a better way to do this.

I just feel bad for my parents, really. I mean marriage is a big deal to them. Out of their 5 children, 4 of us are married but they were only present for one wedding and that was mine. We all know how well that turned out... my mom has a habit of taking responsibility for the actions of her children and it's been hard for her to accept that this is not a reflection on her as a parent.
