Brothers wedding and kids

[cheersthen]

Name changed. My brothers wedding is soon, and at the time we were given the save the date were told no kids would be invited as he wanted an adult only wedding.

I thought ok fair enough even if they were invited I would only take 2 of the girls as the rest would be uninterested or too young. Anyway it gets nearer the time and I find out there will be a handful of kids there, ok, I'm a bit pissed off as my two girls would love to have gone but it's his wedding up to him.
Today I find out our half siblings 2 kids are invited! Wtf. Though me and him aren't as close as we were due to him moving away,we are full brother and sister and grew up together went through a lot together and were good friends.
We see each other as much as he sees our half sister and only got to know her in adulthood.
He is basically having 5 kids there including her 2. He also knows my partner may not be able to come as I don't want to leave all the kids with his mum, I asked about just my two girls coming (8 and 9) and he made some bullshit excuse.

Aibu to be pissed off that he has snubbed his nieces when clearly it isn't going to be a completely child free wedding?

Thanks

Sorry clicked by mistake! Thanks everyone I guess I can now see exactly what he is. For the record it was 7 kids but he knew it was only the two oldest girls that wanted to go and he has known this since the save the dates went out. I think it was obvious I wasn't planning on bringing them all, even I know that may have been too much.

I would have gone along with it and hoped there was a reason. Sounds awful decision by him/them but it's a big decision to make the sort of feud that lasts decades.

Tbh if i were the half sister i would be mortified.

Yes I would feel awkward if I was her. I know for the sake of two extra kids at his wedding he has ruined so much.
I feel sick about it but I couldn't have done anything differently I had to stick up for my kids.

Overbearing because there are 7 of them or their personalities?

The first isn't great but the latter is just nasty!

Personalitys, last time he came I only had 5 here as one is 12 and never home!and I've not long had baby.
3 of them are very quiet. But the other 2 have very loving personalitys and we're playing with their cousin a lot, sitting on brothers knee etc so if that's what you call over bearing then it's very sad.

Wow, that's horrible.

So basically he doesn't like your children!

Sounds a shame. I always think text messages are awful for sorting things out like this. People always read a negative tone in to messages, making a falling out almost inevitable.

That said, he sounds like an utter cock, and he's clearly getting a message through to you loud and clear. Oh well, saved you the cost of a two night stay and a wedding present. Look on the bright side!

Sounds like it though he sends her videos of his daughter..and pics of his new car! Yes saved a long journey but have a new dress I need to find an occaision for now!

Can you sell the dress? If it has never been worn, you could get a close price to what you originally paid.

Well, as the saying goes, you can choose your friends but not your family. You can choose to avoid him though.

What do your parents & other siblings have to say about this?

Wow your brother is a cunt!
You're well rid OP. I hope it rains torrentially on their shitty wedding day

Haha! Me too. My mum knows what he is like as he acts the same to her a lot of the time. She agrees with me though.
