Just that really, I hate him. I've never hated anyone, but by jolly do I actually physically hate him! And I have the choice; spend 4 hours faking it with him, smiling to the children, enthusing along with them when they fall over themselves being duped by his smarmy charm or don't go with them all-giving him ultimately what he wants (as proven when he told my dp in jan that from then on 'tiger' couldn't be there whilst he saw HIS dn's). I always feel so anxious about the stupid visits :(

What did your DP say to that?

If you do go out, take your kids with you, just to spike his guns.

YouTheCat · 16/04/2014 15:13

Is he coming to yours?

Take your kids out for the day and leave him to it with your 'd'p.

wishingchair · 16/04/2014 15:15

Eh? Why has he said you can't be there? Clearly there's more to this ...

CoffeeTea103 · 16/04/2014 15:17

Your post isn't clear!

diddl · 16/04/2014 15:18

What an arsehole!

You aren't allowed to be in your own house?

Fuck that!

Tell your husband to piss off out of the house to visit his brother!

Lottiedoubtie · 16/04/2014 15:20

More info needed to be able to offer any sort of coherent advice OP!

thebodydoestricks · 16/04/2014 15:20

Sorry I don't understand your post.

twerkyswizzler · 16/04/2014 15:23

You could really piss on his chips, be there but arrange for the children to be out

DenzelWashington · 16/04/2014 15:24

Oh, good one twerky, good one!

UriGeller · 16/04/2014 15:27

Shit in his tea.

UriGeller · 16/04/2014 15:27

SPIT in his tea!!!

diddl · 16/04/2014 15:29

OK, I thought I understood but I don't-who is supposed to be visiting whom?

He doesn't want to see you, you hate him.

So far so equal!

Question is, do you let him see your kids?

QueenofallIsee · 16/04/2014 15:29

Errm, where is your DH when his horrible brother is being a knobber to his wife and trying to manipulate his children?

RoaringTiger · 16/04/2014 15:30

Not coming to ours, I've told dp he isn't welcome at the house anymore and stipulated 4 hours each month to Bil when he can visit the children which we facilitate at a park or similar...I just hate doing it though, he's such a snake!

Dp didn't say much at first until I told him to pack his sh*t and get out (which he did for a week), he did sort of stand up to him after that....well until next time, which there will be a next time there always is!

1st time was because I dared to tell him that if he wanted to come and stay here (for days on end) he had to text and check it was convenient before getting here. That was met with cries of 'you money grabbing cow', 'your trying to take my brother and nieces from me' 'your controlling and manipulative'. Dp barely stood up for me, just placated his brother.

2nd time was when Bil demanded that dp get a loan to bail his sorry ass out. When dp said no, the manipulation started-suicide statistics of people with debt, texts saying 'I'm dying' then ignoring the phone calls, to then answer and say 'it was a joke'. He replied to a text of mine slagging off dp for 'banging on about his financial situation', didn't like it when I told him his financial situation was his own doug and that dp has every right to comment when he already owes us money and keeps asking for me. Cue calling me all the above and more....dp didn't stick up for me then too until I chucked him out.

Then there was last year; telling girls he was going to visit x date and not turning up then getting the huff when dp told him to stop letting them down (apparently it was my fault), then dp asked for photos of kids to be removed from facebook cue weeks of tantrums then yes I've took then down-month down the line we discovered he hadn't took then down just deleted dp and blocked me from his facebook!

The latest one was at new year we had the family down (my side and him as rest of dp family has passed).
Apparently I snubbed him going to hug me when he arrived (I was cooking food and wasn't aware of him trying to hug me, I said hello and talked to him for 5 minutes or so whilst doing food) then he got pissed off when I asked him not to do something with the children which they would normally get into trouble for-ended up with the above comment been said to dp and a load of abusive texts been sent to me.

It's so hard being the bigger person :/

Sorry for typos and bad paragraphs am on my phone

OP posts:
RoaringTiger · 16/04/2014 15:34

There has been loads more stuff as well as the above, sly digs from him, the constantly inviting himself when we booked days out (even out first holiday), the blaming me everytime dp says no and then saying we're preventing him having a relationship with the kids when we've had plans that don't include him. The above are just the bigger examples

So he is an aggressive man child who does not respect you, your parenting, what is best for your children or his brother.

you are visiting him why??

RoaringTiger · 16/04/2014 15:38

Because dp only started seeing him for what he is last year and still hasn't fully seen it (if that makes sense), I'd happily cut the twat out but he is literally the only family dp has and he isn't at that stage yet. He has got a bit better at recognising that he is selfish and manipulating and better and standing up for us too but he is very much a 'let it go over your head and move on' sort

Tbh I would happily not go this weekend but then I think he's got what he wants so no chance (plus I can be there to steer the kids away from being manipulated)

OP posts:
RoaringTiger · 16/04/2014 15:40

Dp said that's punishing them as they like seeing him (3 & 6 so easily bought at the minute)

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 16/04/2014 15:40

He's a tool isn't he?

Your partner isn't terribly supportive either by the sound of it.

It sounds bloody exhausting!

RoaringTiger · 16/04/2014 15:43

It is exhausting, dp is better than he was but still only about 60% of where he should be if I'm honest! But then he was brought up being told to placate Bil as 'he's such a wee sensitive soul' also 'that's just the way he is'.
He did say after last time when we talked and I pointed out how and why eveything Bil had said was lies and he agreed that if it happens again he will cut contact but I know he's not ready for that yet
