AIBU to be very annoyed with my brother?!

[Supermagicsmile]

I am sorry to be posting this on Christmas Eve, I know it's it really in the spirit of Christmas but I'm so annoyed right now and don't know if I am being unreasonable or if I'm just hormonal and tired.

I've been busy all day prepping cleaning and food for tonight as well as tomorrow. Family coming over tonight for a meal and bringing my brother with them. (He is staying for Christmas.)

Told him in advance that he would need to bring whatever he would need for his stay with him as I didn't want to be driving him to pick it up at 11 o'clock at night after friends go.

He has just rung to say that he didn't get his things ready as he went to the cinema instead. and after our guests go he will need a lift back to his flat to collect his items and presents etc and then be brought back here.

That means I can't drink anything with dinner and will be driving very late at night which I hate. It will be atleast an hour round trip plus however long he needs to 'get his stuff ready.'

I am fuming and have said I don't want to do it but have been told by my father that I am 'despicable' to say that I will not go and collect him
and my mum is crying saying I am ruining it for everyone.

Guess who their favourite child is so I am being made to feel like an awful person for not wanting to take him back.

AIBU?

Why can't your parents do it if they love him so much?

[Candlestickchick]

No YANBU. why can't your parents drive and get him? Your brother sounds like a useless, selfish little prick to be honest, sorry.

[OliviaBenson]

Yanbu at all. How thoughtless of him. You were right to say no, it's his problem.

[Finola1step]

Tell.him to pay for a taxi there and back.

[CathyEarnshawsGhost]

Tell them you've been on the sherry since lunchtime and he can get a taxi.

[NotStoppedAllDay]

nope

either they can do it or he can get a taxi

put yourself first

[talulahbelle]

What an idiot. Stand your ground!
Tell your parents you've been drinking already so can't drive?

[Notonthestairs]

YANBU. Cheeky bugger.

[SiennaNealon]

Not your problem. He could get a taxi, public transport, drive himself or have your parents give him a lift. You were very generous with your offer, his plans have changed that should inconvenience you.

[BlackeyedSusan]

you should be mad with your parents as well. lazy sod went to the cinema.

have a drink and refuse to pick him up.

do something different next year if they are all arses.

[DailyFail1]

Your brother needs to take care of himself here. Say no.

[nutbrownhare15]

YANBU. Sorry your brother and parents ABU.

[ChazsBrilliantAttitude]

Neck a glass of wine now and tell them you can't drive.

[Garyfetacheese]

Start drinking now so you can't do it. He'll have to sort himself out.

[YouTheCat]

Why can't he drive? Or if he can't, why can't your parents drive him.

Tell them you don't care if you 'ruin' it.

[Finola1step]

Pour that drink.

[Bestthingever]

I take it your brother is the golden child in the family? My db is but even my dps would not take his side here. Why can't your dps give him a lift? Have a massive glass of wine 🍷 right now so nobody can force you to drive!

[Japonicathehorseygirl]

It's not your responsibility. You reminded him, he didn't bother. No way would I drive him back especially if you are not comfortable with the dark/ lateness etc

[GooseFriend]

Yanbu. A) he gets taxi b) your folks get him c) he gets public transport d) one of the friends he's with drops him off. Or he drives if he has a car.

He has loads of options

[YouTheCat]

Definitely pour a large drink.

[Whocansay]

Tell your parents to get him. Or he can get a taxi. Not your problem.

[Cherrysoup]

Have a drink and tell him to get a taxi. If he knew and you told him to bring everything, then he's being a wanker, especially deciding to go to the cinema too.

[IhatchedaSnorlax]

I agree with the others - stand your ground & don't drive him. He can either get a taxi or your parents drive him (or could he borrow your car & drive himself?).

He sounds very selfish - drink wine so that you can't be bullied into it!

[Candlelight123]

It's not your responsibility to sort this out. Like others have said, have a drink and then the answer is, sorry I can't I've been drinking.

[Sparkletastic]

What a twat your brother is. Agree with others - your parents can run around after their golden boy.
