Torn

As I sat at work yesterday, I realized that Saturday had been my brother’s
47th birthday and I had not done or sent him anything.
Now, a day later, I still haven’t.
And, I’m torn on if I should or should just ignore it and move on.
I haven’t done a quiz in a while, so what the hell:

Hassle. If he doesn't get what he wants he complaints to my mother who will begin to pester me.
There is little either can do now more than that. But, like black flies that swarm around your head, they can be annoying if not dangerous.

If my mother decides it is a problem she will then start telling my other relatives to talk to me about it. Again, nothing more than annoying. But, annoying.

My method of dealing with the two of them is to give them just enough to stay quiet. There is nothing I want from either, and nothing I desired to give either. But, I have found that giving a small amount makes it more quiet than trying for nothing at all.
But, I missed the "feeding time".
So, will a late feeding be worse than just skipping one?
That is what I am not sure of.

And, in the end, it is all how many of my mother's letters I must throw in the trash, if I need to shut off the ringer of my land line again and which aunts or cousins will bring it up.
