To think it is weird that I don't get invited anywhere with my OH

My OH has a brother who is about to turn 30, they've arranged a meal for him. I've had to rearrange my work shifts so that OH can go.
He doesn't think it's weird that I haven't been invited? I've been in his brothers life for over 4 years now.
Maybe I'm just a bit put out that I'm losing a days wage so facilitate him being able to and having to sit at home with my children!
Similarly he was invited to a night out but couldn't go because I was working, I wasn't invited.
We spent NYE apart as he was invited out and I wasn't.

I KNOW we have a life apart but it would be nice to get dolled up and go out and have fun TOGETHER, both free of "mum and dad" duties but maybe aibu?

There will be future events though OP. Do you believe anything will change going forward? Thanks

Very very weird... I'd expect to be invited a after a max of a year tbh. You have children together....

OP I know this thread is moot but I read your other thread and I think you are selling yourself short here. You come across as articulate and smart but your BF is taking advantage of you. Also, you've said you know he wouldn't try anything with his brother's GF because his brother would beat him up. That's not much of a commitment to you.

It sounds like he didn't get turned down for the job because he has no forklift licence but because the employer didn't think he was the right person that they would put forward for the licence. That might be because of his criminal record or how he came across in the interview.

What does he do with the kids during the day that they are up all night? Is he letting them sleep all day so he doesn't have to look after them? You've said that as soon as you are home you have to deal with the kids - if he was working all day, I bet he wouldn't completely take over the kids when he gets home.

He sounds like he's taking advantage of your relationship without considering you to be a family unit.

You're worth more than this.

I find this strange and would be very hurt by it. My OH and I have only been together a couple of years and I have a dd from a previous relationship but myself and my dd are always invited and included in oh family/friends gatherings.
