DP made a show of us last night, cant stop thinking about it

My mum had a party for my niece and nephew last night at her house. Just a little family get together kind of think as the kids are 9 (twins). Anyway there was alcohol there. Everyone im my family knows what DP is like for taking the piss and joking around so I don't dread these things as much as I used to because he goes largely ignored these days. Last night however he went too far, got my nieces barbie and ken doll and positioned them in a sexual way and left them on the table for everyone to see.

My mum came in, just tutted (knew instantly who'd done it) and said he was disgusting but my sister went mad and said "do you mind not doing that to my daughters toys? they're little kids toys for gods sake".

The atmosphere after that was quite tense and we left early. I'm so embarrassed and cant stop thinking about it.

Normally my sister would phone me in a morning but she hasn't today.

Are we over-reacting or was it a really shitty thing for him to do? I dont know what to say.

Ignore them and be glad your dp is funny and not miserable

I can very well see why your sister is upset, methinks she and your family have just about had enough. It is certainly not amusing in the slightest.

Your family likely wonder why you are with him in the first place. Such out and out behaviour likely masks his huge insecurity/inferiority complex, not just to say stupidity and a lack of respect for not only them but to you to do such a thing. Small wonder he is ignored, sounds like he's emotionally and mentally stuck in early teenage years.

What are you going to do?. You also get the fallout from his bad behaviour, you get dragged down as well.

Sounds like your sis over reacted a bit, but I am currently trying to explain to ds (8) about when silly behaviour stops being funny, and starts being irritating.

I suspect some blokes never learn this, and your dh is one of them.

Tell your sis to chill, and your dh to grow up.
