[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I'm a little stunned at the responses here. I'm guessing there is a lot of people making sport of OP.

OP, my guess is you are reacting to the totality of the weekend, not the specific incidents in themselves. And I've seen this play out again and again in families who stay in rented vacation guest houses together. It is frequently a bad dynamic, especially with different aged kids and/or different parenting styles.

The fiancé and her child might not have wanted to go. So your brother was bending over backwards to accommodate what was clearly a bad dynamic from the start.

There was probably plenty of blame to pass around. You need to decide how much you want a relationship with your brother.[/quote]

No one is "making sport" of her.  Some of her complaints are ridiculous.  She is affronted that people expected her 6 yo to be quiet in the morning, and leave a shared room, so a preteen could sleep.  And she then was angry that the kid stayed up late and "snuck in" - she initially wasn't upset that the preteen was loud, but at the fact that she stayed up late.  And *then* it comes out that the real reason she's angry is that it "was on her dime," so apparently everyone in the house should cater to her.  Apparently she hasn't heard that if you are the host, you should try to make your guests comfortable.

Whatever the issues her brother might have, OP does not seem like a nice, caring, or considerate person.  And that's based on how she describes herself, so one can only imagine what someone who isn't trying to paint her in a positive light would say about her.  [/quote]
