[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sounds incredibly hostile and rude for such small matters.

FIL is a horrible man. PERIOD. FIL to avoid conflict with his wife decides he doesn't want a relationship with his own child for all his life. Oh - even after the man's mother dies.

OP keeps saying DH is a softie - like that's a bad thing and repeats it with venom. Her DH is doing nothing but trying to have a relationship with his brother. Trying to get to know him better. This has been a 3 year process. It's not like the man just showed up on the door dropping dirty napkins.

It's less than a week - and yes some people are dirtier than others, some men rely heavily on their wives in life to manage even the smallest of things. But this particular husband is a recovering! alcoholic - went to rehab, trying to clean himself up - and apparently he's trusted enough to be alone with their child.

Honestly - I find it all sad that OP is just stomping all over the place and obviously detests this man and the "shrieking" 2 year old. Calling him names like Dingbat, etc.

You're horrible OP - not because you want guests to clean up after themselves - you can have a honest talk with your BIL - and YES he is your BIL because your DH has welcomed into your family. You're parsing words like half-brother and DH's brother - you are simply mean and nasty. I hope you are never in a situation wherein you need the kindness and support of others or someone simply to extend you some grace.[/quote]

Totally agree - this poor man.  He just wants to connect with his bio family. His father is a deadbeat and his brother seems like a decent sort but is married to an absolute horror show of a wife.  Hopefully the bro will divorce OP and be rid of this insanity!

(It is customary for a host to clean up after guests.  I would not bat an eye if a dinner guest left a napkin on a plate.  OP is reacting like he wiped his butt with toilet paper and left it on a plate!  Seriously, even if I ha d a guest who forgot to flush, I wouldn’t hang on the guest room door and tell him to come down and flush!  OP is a raging, nasty lunatic.)[/quote]

I don't know about you, but new people showing up on my doorstep with a 2 yo and wife divorcing them, telling me that he is my father's love child.... I don't have the time nor energy to care about that. Maybe next month we can do coffee downtown. But don't show up and expect to sleep over in my house just because ancestry.com told you we are maybe related. Then to show up and be a slob?  No time for that either, and there won't be a next time.  Will have to be coffee chat, downtown. [/quote]
