[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you and your wife for real? If you are, please join therapy. Why would she demand freebies from anyone and then get upset with them.

[b]However, if i was your brother, i wouldn't have engaged with her[/b] out of respect for you. That being said, let her know that it was her decision to approach him so you aren't going to be a party in it. [/quote]

NP. Agree with this post, in whole and the bold especially.

The wife is being a brat.

Her kids are being brats.

The brother is being blunt which many here find admirable; but he took the low road and only fed into the wife's craziness and fueled more conflict. I agree with brother that wife and her kids are brats; however, he had a chance to be the adult in the room and...didn't take it. Well, it can't be unsaid (or, un-texted) now.

OP needs to do as the PP above says and tell wife it was her choice to go directly to his brother and remind wife that OP did tell her, months ago (it's in his post) that brother would not deal well with criticism just like this. In almost any other circumstance, I would be saying that OP should at least tell his brother that the language used with OP's wife was inflammatory and brother took the low road responding to her diatribe with a diatribe of his own; however, in this particular case, I'm with PP. Tell wife his brother owes her children nothing.

OP, is the 18-year-old leaving home soon? Going to college or elsewhere? She sounds spoiled rotten and overly invested in her social media. I pity the younger kids.[/quote]
