[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a great relationship with my younger brother.  Unfortunately he passed away in his early 30s.

Sounds like you are super immature and your brother is too.  Time to grow up.  Think bigger picture - who, in the long run, cares about gas money. [/quote]

You don't sound immature at all, OP.  This person is being a jerk.

Rather, it sounds like your brother has some serious issues around money and control.  You probably just have to accept this about him and move on.  It is unlikely that he is going to change at this point.  Look for his good qualities and hang onto them and try to ignore these other things.  It sounds like you did your best to be a good sister and a good guest.  That is really all you can do. [/quote]

+1!

It's hard when a member of your family acts like an ass. I'm a grown up- I can deal with the shit people want to heap on me (up to a point) but when my child is involved it's a nonstarter. I'm glad your DD is too young to realize that she was left out of the gift giving. To be honest, I would address that point and leave the rest alone for now.

Yes, gifts are a priviledge - but how could a person (especially an uncle) leave out a child?!? That's just crappy.

I don't remember if you said how old DD is but hopefully your brother will change before DD is old enough to realize what a crappy person he is. If your brother doesn't change I would restrict time spent with uncle until he wants to be better.

What a shame. It sounds like you did the best you could. Hugs.[/quote]
