I have been teasing my brother about his balding head since he turned 35 - now 40. He has been teasing me about my weight for as long as I can remember. Now that I have lost weight, he can no longer tease me, but I still tease him about his shiny head . Unfortunately, I think it is starting to get to him - I mean, really get to him. So, how should I make it up to him? A case of Pabst? A bottle of Jack Daniels? or the racer he has been raving about? My poor brother.
I guess you can say that. But fortunately, my hair is on the thick side. Lucky me. I have told my brother to seek medical help or use something to address his issues. We have both been looking for something and we found something that might be able to help him eventually.
I think it's cool you value your relationship with your bro and realized his feelers got hurt from being hair-assed (sorry, couldn't resist). Since you realized you've been being a dic, I would guess your relationship will mend naturally now. Instead of buying him a case of crappy beer (Pabst?...c'mon man!), how about catching a game or doing something fun with you're bro? I'd just buy the tickets, do the driving, get him drunk and have fun!
Havent you got any friends to ask rather than asking complete strangers online ?! 8 posts total and 2 about this question on an ios games site ! I can imagine hes joined a discussion forum about arguments with family and instead has posted lots of iOS gaming questions ! Bizarre thread
He was wrong to tease you about your weight, and you know you were wrong to tease him. Congrats on losing your weight. A sorry to your brother and the promise to stop will be enough. Unrelated but I say this as someone who has always been slim and called "bones" by family, this didn't bother me until for health reasons I lost weight, I'm underweight now and the comments I've had are awfule, on family meals out I've been accused of going to the bathroom to throw up, if I dont want a desert then I must be anorexic, and I know that complaining about it futile, as I'm then called a miserable cow and not being able to take a "joke" And this is supposedly family. Strangers are worse! It gets to you after a while, and so ething that might not have been a problem, becomes an issue. I didn't care about my weight until people started unnecessarily commenting on it.
Shave your head - get it waxed and shined so it looks like a brand new bowling ball. Then you can meet your brother for some casual meeting surprise him.
