[quote=Anonymous]Most of the responses above are super catty and unhelpful.

Op:

1) your wife and her daughters are so far out of line it’s incredible. Your stance on her daughters not being entitled to expensive international trips x 3 from your brother is 100% correct. Your brother is not playing favorites, he is supporting his niece and what he’s doing is generous and totally fine and I’m stunned the other kids would ask and even more stunned your wife would not immediately set them straight.
2) your brother is 100% correct that your wife was insane to ask for this. However, his response even if totally honest and in the nose, was gratuitously harsh and not conducive to family harmony or respectful of your new spouse, family or situation. Your wife totally got what she deserved. But, your brother by disrespecting your wife also disrespected your family and that is not okay. You should say something to him to the effect of, I agree that her request is inappropriate but so was your reply.
3) it’s not too late to fix this with your wife. Talk to your brother first and then tell her. However, do not budge an inch on the issue of him taking her kids bc you are right and she is wrong and you have to get her to grow up in this and probably many other things. 
4) I don’t think it’s okay that your daughter feels she can’t even be home when the stepsons are there. It’s her home too. The work of your family  will be to try to not have parallel universes. Although given their ages that might not be possible anymore. [/quote]
