I am so sick of my brother in law and his family!!! He is so needy, inconsiderate, self obsessed. All he thinks about is himself and doesn’t consider anyone else’s feelings.
His birthday is coming up. He arrange to go to a theme park with his wife & 4 kids and asked us and the rest of his family if we wanted to come along. Quite expensive but it would be a new experience for our older boys so we said yes. I booked a sitter for our younger 2 and researched the best discount codes online. He kept messaging the group chat to book tickets and sending us links.
A month later my husband is round his house (weird setup but my BIL & SIL and their 4 kids live with my MIL & FIL) and the theme park/ birthday came up and only then had he looked at the prices and decided it was too expensive. He was asking my husband what we should all do and my husband was thinking “I don’t care” and texted me and I was like “Its his birthday he needs to pick something” but I quickly looked online and suggested an activity farm that was located half way (1h each to drive) between our houses…
Well, later he messaged us privately planning his birthday around that suggestion and then put in that he will come back to our house to stay over (with his 4 kids) and inviting his parents and siblings over to ours as well. So now he wants us to host and cook! OH, but he will contribute to food! 🤬 wtf!!!
What’s annoying also is that it’s my son and husbands birthday the weeks following and I want to plan and prep that not plan a 34 year old man birthday with his 4 kids in tow!! Argh!!!
Sorry this more more of a vent but how do I respond without sounding like a complete bitch?
