So...today kind of sucks. I am not sure where to start. A few week ago I talked to my parents and they were thinking about coming to visit me and my wife because my brother has been an jack ass to them (a long story that I won't go into). Anyway, he was not calling them back like he said he would so they were going to come visit us. Well, I called my dad to wish him happy father's day and he tells me that they called my brother and have decided to go see him and his family instead of coming to see me. I know my brother has kids and I don't but my parents go out to see them at least once a year and have only come to see me me once in 6 years. How is this supposed to make me feel? I am so pissed that I am the good kid who makes it a point to call them and keep in touch, who sends Birthday cards, mothers day cards, etc. while my brother never does anything for them. He never calls them, never sends cards, is a total dick to them, yet they go to visit him because he has kids. It isn't fair and pisses me off! I have always been close to my parents. But just because my wife and I have decided not to have kids we treated like second rate people. This may sound lame to some people, but it makes me want to just curl up in a ball and cry.

No, it doesn't sound bad. I do understand it. (even though we're the ones with kids and my husband's brother doesn't.) It's not fair that having kids (or not having them) should have anything to do with your relationship with your parents. My parents are as equal as they can be, they see my sister who lives in the same city a lot more often obviously but they see me and my sis that lives in Colorado as often as they can and they try to make it even.
It's really not fair though that they're letting your brother be a dick to them but taking it just so they can see the grandkids. Have you told them this? Would one parent take it better than the other and maybe understand more how you're feeling?

I'm sorry you're feeling bad. I hope things can be straightened out.
Enjoy what's left of the weekend.
