Brother in Law's comments

Anonymous
You could have gone with the stone faced “oh my god you are so hilarious.” And then just stare at him.

BIL sounds like a freak.

I’d ask him what that comment meant ?


What is there to be jealous of?


The fact that OP is self-supporting while BIL is mooching off the parents?

I'd let his comment slide in the moment, then buttonhole him later to ask, very sweetly, if he's OK. "That children's menu comment came off as a little defensive--I hope you don't feel bad about not being able to support your family and having to take help from my parents. You're a great dad, and that's what really matters."


We don't actually know that OP is self-supporting. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't.

Got a Brother in law like this

He's a social buffoon.

Id clap my hands and say wow, everyone, bill should try out to become a comedian!!? His jokes are so funny! Then when people are laughing and smiling id look at him with fury in my eyes.

Does it again, explain that you are successful and he's a moocher . And he needs to think twice about his jokes.

Or say wow your jokes are so immature, I think you need a kids menu, shall I put a bib on you, and would you like a booster seat or a highchair? I'm sick of your shit.

Why didn't you take your children with you on this vacation?

Are you a troll? What 40 year old lived Dr home with his parents and shares a hotel room with them. That’s just bizarre.

Your BIL"s comment was dig ..

You're 40 single a lawyer no kids and stayed in a hotel room with your parents.

Your BIL views you as a child. since your life down't look like his.

He's also rude apparently lacks enough income and possibly jealous.

Call him on his comments or accept them.

OP lived at home for 6 months a year ago.

OP is splitting the cost of whatever accommodations they're sharing with the parents on this trip. We don't have details, it I assumed it was a suite or a townhouse or something

OP, you are such a classic youngest child. My husband is the oldest of 5. He is a bitter oldest child that needs to get over it, and she was/is spoiled by the parents. Just own it!

Rather than be annoyed at your BIL, be annoyed at your sibling/s. They are talking shit about you and can't get over you being spoiled as the youngest. It is time to be less sensitive and dish it right back to this a**hole.

He is a bad joker. You are too sensitive, and who splits the hotel with parents? Pay for it. I'm poor and I have no problem paying for my parents of siblings.
Nobody cares how much family has helped them. None of your business. You are just trying to get people on your side. It was a bad joke. That's all it was.

Sorry to be a jerk, but at 40 years old, I wouldn’t be sharing a hotel room with my parents even if I didn’t have my own children. So yeah, it’s kind of a little immature. Doesn’t mean the comment was appropriate, but maybe it hurts more because it’s kind of true.

Do you think its weird for parents to then stay with a single adult in a studio apartment to save money? Or they should pay for a hotel to be seen as "adults"?

Would it be weird if BIL's family stayed with her at her studio apartment instead of paying for a separate hotel when visiting her city?
