WWYD Mortified that BFs son is being so rude

On holiday atm with my two DCs, BF and his 2 DCs.
We’re staying with my brother and his family (wife and one DC)
Up until recently , I’d gotten on really well with BFs son (8), but recently have had to call him out on his lack of manners towards me and hurtful comments. I’m never nasty, but so point out that he’s said something unkind. BF backs me up or pulls him up first.
Ever since we’ve arrived, BFs son has been so rude - making comments about my brother’s house, the garden. He’s complained about the food (even when he’s chosen things), and picks fault in everything and everyone. It’s like his filter has dropped off. Today he really upset me by making hugely personal comments towards my appearance (currently have swollen abdomen and face due to treatment for a medical issue), and criticising my clothes, etc.
Honestly, I’ve had enough and just wish me and my kids could enjoy time with my brother and his family without the constant negativity. WWYD?

Absolutely no reason for you to be embarrassed, his behaviour isn't a reflection on you

What is your boyfriend doing in all this? Why hasn't be already realized he needs to take the child away

Can they book into a hotel? Your BF could spend days with his kids and join you for a few evenings. It must be boring for an 8 yo, perhaps he's unhappy
