[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a douchey thing to say. “Man up”- people are allowed their feelings and they express their feelings in different ways. It’s okay do you BIL was crying.  He was with his family, that should be a safe place.  If this isn’t a troll you are TA.  And if you’re not “man enough” to apologize for being a douche then you should go home, alone.[/quote]

Could be a troll but he has posted about this foreclosure before.

OP, why was his crying so triggering for you? Did you really think your kids would be inspired to follow his example?

You need to apologize to BIL and to the family, it's ok to be annoyed with his repeated issues but what you did was kinda homophobic. In your other post you said you had tried to help him, that can add to the frustration. As a family member you don't kick people when they are down. You also, as an adult, don't spoil holidays. That he was crying is not an invitation for you to act out in an immature way. Not only as a guest but as a role model for your kids. Some day you will be elderly. If you have an issue, do you want them to callously say, "Man up!" Better to have said nothing.

He may have undiagnosed ADHD or other issues, common with people who never get it together. [/quote]
