Not sure where to start, i have a DD who is almost 4 moths old, i am having a naming ceremony in july and invited my silbings to be godparents, however after 2 months of sarcastic comments from my brother i have just uninvited him.
He is going to see eminem in london the day before the naming ceremony which is in leamington spa i asked him before i booked the room would that be ok and pointed out it would not start until 1 pm. he said fine so i booked it, he received his written invitation a few weeks ago and stated on the whatapp that he would be late as in wouldn't get there until early evening i pointed out it finishes at 5 pm. DSis1 stated he should get a cheap airbnb and posted one on the group, me and him have discussed it no more than that.
As siblings we have a group whatapp for posting pics of chlidren or just general musings of our days.Today DSis1 has been posting about her weekend away. I replied very nice and that i had spent the day defrosting our grandad's freezer, having my baby bite my nipple four times (due to teething) and then scream at me for an hour (also due to teething). DBro replied that having one kid must be hard and that when he now describes me to people it will be as the one that bitches about her single child (he has no children).
i replied that one child wasn't hard though it wasn't smiles 24/7 and that i was sure when he had children he would never talk about the harder times and that im sure more than one is more work i would let him know when i had more
his exact response was 'yeah well when you have your next one make sure to schedule everything on days that you know are a struggle for me to get to even when you know in advance, because its not a day involving (my name) unless she's being a cunt'.
My DBro has been struggling with his mental health for the last few years however won't talk to any of us about it and because of this it the past i have let things slide that anyone else i who of pointed it out. But this is the final straw i really do want the whole family at the naming ceremony as it doesn't happen very often but the idea of it, is that we promise to love and teach the baby to respect others, is it wrong for me to expect him to apologise before he is re-invited.
