Brother in law

Hi I would really like some advice. I am an only child so I have little understanding of sibling rivalry! DH is the youngest of 5 children! His eldest brother is always belittling to his younger brother. To cut a long story short our DS was born 10 years ago! They were due to visit and see the new baby and discuss their new business venture, selling mobile phones, an wanted to see our phone contract! DH replied you are welcome to visit us and our baby however, at this time we are not interested in purchasing anything from you! They have never visited. Never seen our DS who is 10. Now they are bombarding us with Spam emails which I suspect contain a virus! I want to write to him and ask him to leave us alone. However DH says to leave it. He thinks his older brother could pass away and wouldn't like to cause conflict. I think tomorrow is promised to no one. His brother has treated our child like a failed business project. Do I write to his brother or not?

Just ignore him. He’s obviously not interested in any of you and email business is odd. I guess as it’s your DHs brother it’s ultimately up to him if he’s blocks him.

Write to the brother to complain that he has never met your child?

Just delete and ignore. . .

Shoxfordian · 15/10/2019 09:17

Ignore it

Ignore.

If your partner wanted his brother to meet his child, that's up to him.

In fact, don't ignore. Block.

Do not write to bil, theres absolutely no reason to, just block him.

Just ignore!

I have blocked him! However, he has sent us a few emails this morning from another email address! Our computer anti virus has actually blocked the attachments sent! I am unsure if this is accident or deliberate! I have no seen him or his wife since 2012!

Ignore it. Why would you want to contact him?
