Well, there's one other that will visit a couple of times a year for like an hour at a time. There's me, one brother, and three step-brothers. All but one of us live in the same city, only 1.5 hours from my mom & step-dad, yet the other 3 that live this close don't visit, and rarely call and in fact, the step-brothers will often forget to call their father (my step-father) on his birthday and Father's Day and there has been many times when the only call or present he gets is from me, his step-daughter. It's sad. Not too mention they don't have much to do with me either. I've tried to be close with them but you get tired of doing all the work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-51012393586342926862010-10-26T18:26:57.185-04:002010-10-26T18:26:57.185-04:00Ahh. families.

What really hurt is when they didn't come to our daughters wedding several years ago. I can't even count the number of times I have been to CA but I sure can count how many times my cousins have been to my house.
