Am I justified at being pissed at my little brother

So Saturday I drove 5hrs from my home state to go see him, I ended up getting there at 3pm. I had told him I’d leave my place at 5am, but my cousin’s car broke down so I had to go pick him up 1.5hrs away. I brought my cousin to help my little brother move into he’s new apartment.

Anyway, my cousin helps him, and we go to our hotel, we were supposed to go out. My little brother send me a message asking if I mind whether he and he’s gf can’t come out with us because he was still moving and he was expecting me earlier, I say to him “it’s all good man” I was pissed cause I drove 5hrs to see him.

What really pissed me off is this dude didn’t even text me on Sunday asking whether we made it back or not. Then yesterday he messages me asking if he should sell his dogecoin since it went up, I didn’t reply.
Maybe I’m in being sensitive here, but that’s not how I would’ve handled the situation if I was him. From knowing him my whole life I’m starting to come to the conclusion that he’s selfish.

Yeah hate when people get flaky when actual plans are set .
It's one thing if its just sorta a losely set plan that just never materializes

But yeah inconsiderate af on your bro part


Maybe just call him out on it and try not to hold a deep grudge

Its time to be a man. Pick up the phone and address the situation directly. Not replying etc is for women and children.

Oh yeah, 100% justified. Explain to him what he did and tell him he was a massive ******* for that, and not to put p*ssy before family like some little high school b*tch boy. Idk how he doesn't understand that but, as his brother, your job to tell him. He might not listen right now but if you tell him, odds are he'll eventually come around

I would bring it up to him, should never let issues build and fester up. Some people don't realize the things they're doing even when it should be blatantly obvious lol

To be fair, the plan that was set was for OP and cousin to arrive much earlier than they did. So i can see he has a semi legit excuse, we dont know exactly how much moving was left to do, but lets just assume its a considerable amount. The brother has a point to need to keep moving.

Someone who is not self centered would say "hey bro, i still got a ton of things to move. What if I bought a bottle of bourbon and you and cousin just came over and chilled with us while we finished moving in?"

And at a minimum a quick call on Sunday morning saying "thank you brother, i appreciate you" is all the OP is really looking for.....like any normal human.

Selfishness is running rampant in today's world. Just the other day, a colleague of mine was talking about selling his truck to his father so he can buy a new one. I was thinking "who TF sells stuff to their father?!?" If i tried to pull that I would be pimp slapped.
