To be annoyed about DP saying my brother has ruined our holiday?

You obviously care a lot for your brother OP and he's obviously really struggling, but having him go away with you on holiday probably wasn't a great idea.

Your bro is out of line, though the consequences of his actions are made worse through his T1. Others without diabetes wouldn't have the same impact, frustrating for all parties, and DP is not being unreasonable in his response.

I feel so sorry for your dp.

Your DH is right he is ruining the holiday. As are you to be honest. Your brother is a grown adult who is responsible for his own health I understand being a caring sister and making sure he wasn’t ill overnight but most people would be annoyed at the brother in this scenario not their DH.

He Is ruining it.

I'll give you short odds on this being the tip of much larger iceberg and if not the DP's final straw, one of his last few.

Team DP. Be reasonable.

It sounds as though your brother needs some councelling to help him come to terms with the fact he has a chronic illness that needs to be managed for the rest of his life. Its not unusual for young diabetics to rebel against the fact that everyday for the rest of their life they will have to think about what they eat ,when they eat and when to inject and how much. I expect your brother just wants to live life like a healthy 22 year old but sadly he cant.
He shouldn't have done what he did and I suggest he gets help before you go on holiday together again.
If you have never had to watch a young person come to terms with this it's easy to be very judgemental.

Your brother needs to grow up! I don’t blame your partner being pissed off!

The whole holiday hasn’t been ruined, and it’s only one day, but I can understand why your dp is upset, and why you felt you needed to be with your brother.

Does he feel like a gooseberry to you and dp on your holiday, which why he took himself off , although he should have realised this before.

However, what’s his attitude now? Is he repentant for causing all the trouble?

Your DP is right. You have young children and your DB is going to be a PITA all week.

Your brother has ruined your trip so far with his bad behaviour so I agree with your dp. Why do you feel the need to indulge him?

Might be time for you to think how shared custody will work @Lisatron when your partner leaves and you can't look after your children because you are mollycoddling a man child who has no regard for his own health.

T1 Children manage their diabetes better than your grown adult brother.

Your DH was right, I would be fuming. I also think that your reaction has made the situation worse. You’ve created nothing but problems for your DH and kids by taking your brother on this holiday so you owe DH an apology.

Team DP here!

OP, what possessed you to take your DB on holiday? Your DP was very long suffering to allow him to come at all, and instead of showing any gratitude, he’s behaving like an irresponsible teenager. Your DB is the person ruining the holiday - your DP’s response is very mild, under the circs. He’s absolutely right to say your DB is like having another kid. Question is, what is DB going to do about it? At the very least, he owes your DP an apology.

Your DP is allowed to have his feelings about the situation with your DB, but surely he can cope alone with his own kids for one night? He's not helping by storming out.

Can he not discuss it with you without throwing his toys out of the pram?

I appreciate your brother is being a giant pain in the arse but you are also allowed to be worried about him and want to make sure he stays alive without your DP making it worse.

You're so obviously in the wrong, I'm waiting for this to be declared a reverse. Your brother's problems are self-inflicted and he IS ruining things for everyone n

I have every sympathy for your DH here.
Boggles my mind that you should take your troubled adult brother on your family holiday, and paying for the privilege too.

You brother has ruined the family holiday. Your partner is right. You should be hanging out with your kids, not an incompetent adult.

I wouldn’t have agreed to this holiday in the first place, if I were your partner.

It’s wild that you think that he’s the one in the wrong here.

Your husband is not wrong

Unmanaged T1 diabetes can cause some major personality issues including unpredictability, irrational behaviour, aggression, risk taking.

@Lisatron I admire your dedication to your brother, and if I am honest neither you nor your DP are wrong, but out of control diabetes plus young children is a very dangerous mix. You need tonout your db on a plane home unless he agrees to no more drinking during the holiday and taking his meds correctly.

My stepson died 2 years ago age 16 Following repeated behaviour like your DB. No one that he lived with and saw daily did anything to stop it and my dh was ostracised and blocked from an active role in hia sons care for daring to challenge his exw. There is a load more to it, search my name and the details will come up...

The op is right to protect her brother and support him. But there is a time and a place.

I also have a similar family dynamic and have had siblings come on holiday. But I would absolutely tell my sibling straight.
