To think DH always puts his sibling first?

Before we have our baby DH would be out all most weekends with his brother who is in a band that play gigs all over the UK.

DH did calm down a lot but now DH is out most weekends again with his brother and sometimes staying over (if the gig is far away).

Since the birth of our baby DH has been abroad with his bother, met up with friends, had weekend away when I haven't even done one single thing which I find extremely unfair.

All DH has done is moan about not seeing his brother and how I am coming in between them because I need help looking after our son.

I really feel his brother and his brother's feelings come first.

I have really struggled as I do our child's parenting and DH has little input.
It was a well wanted baby and I do believe DH loves our son as he works all hours to ensure our child has everything.

I really dislike DH's brother who is a selfish lying and deceitful person.
He had multiple children with multiple women and is a terrible absent father himself.

His oldest is in prison for stabbing someone and has drug issues.

The other is on marijuana.

And at least 2 of his children were taken away by social services and adopted.
DH struggles to see why I don't want them near my child.

I don't mind DH seeing his friends and family but I think every weekend is taking the p especially since I don't get to do anything.

His brother is always calling him up and asking him to come XYZ and he feels as if he has to go as his brother moans about not seeing him enough.

His brother will never come to our home to see DH, DH will always have to go out of his way to see his brother.

I'm really thinking of leaving DH as I have had enough of being moaned at and him putting his bother first all the time.

AIBU?

Not only would I leave him, I did leave. My exh was never home, always out with his mates. When he was home, the friends came with him. The Friends were single men so before long other women came into the picture and cheating began, all supported/ encouraged by them. Luckily I always lived very close to my parents and family so I had lots of help. I feel really sorry for you, it must be so lonely and demoralising to be treated in this way. Your life begins now, while you and the baby are young enough to enjoy it. BTW I got remarried 15 year's ago and he has brought up my kids from my first awful marriage, so it's possible to be happy again.

My mother was the same with her sister. We spent our whole childhood running round after her and doing what she wanted - it was a lousy childhood for us and we were resentful, especially as she wasn't even a nice person. We never came first once and that made us feel like absolute crap. Get your son away before he realises. Sending love to you both xx
