My SIL's boyfriend is on a crusade against birthdays!

He's weird. He smells. They've been together a year and he comes with her to everything; insults people, is awkward, stares weirdly at my kids and grins, he mimicks speech patterns and then looks confused when you tell him to stop it.

He turned up at my house uninvited, smelling like death, for my daughter's birthday. No gift, no happy birthday to my daughter, just ate our food drank our beer and talked loudly over everyone while being stinky and taking up the sofa.

Now we are trying to think of a way to have a family meal without him for my husband's birthday.

AIBU to just not want him there and be considering not inviting any of DH's family to avoid the awkward conversation explaining we don't like him?

I'm another who would grit my teeth and pull him up on every single twattish thing he does.

I spent far too long trying to be nice to BIL, to fit in, to be accepted. I no longer have to, usually. But Aussie Aunty is over... so I may have to gird my loins for the obligatory pretend we all get on and see each other every week family get together for the first time in over a decade!

Seriously I would call her and say "As you know we are going to X for DHs birthday and I wanted to call ahead as I need to just explain to you that DeathScent isnt invited on this occasion"

If she questions it? "The last few times we have had him over he has been very rude and personally DH and I dont wish to share a special family occasion with him"
