[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So who is this guy?  Dh's BFF from college or something?[/quote]

DH's half-brother who brought along his shrieking 2yo. FML. [/quote]

You mean YOUR brother-in-law who brought along YOUR niece/nephew? You sound like the SIL from hell.[/quote]

I don't consider him my BIL. He was DH's dad's lovechild who turned up three years ago thanks to Ancestry.com. DH has another brother who is #goals thanks to my MIL. [/quote]

Wtf.

This sounds like drama city: love child bro shows up 3 yo ago, has a 2 yo, lives with you while the mom/wife is dpeoloyed, you have to listen about their impending divorce, and he’s a forgetful slob.

No way, you should not be their fall back plan. How awkward for everyone— except the new Moocher of course. [/quote]

Why on earth are you hosting him and his toddler at all?

You’ve only known OF HIM for 3 years, how do things go from 0 to houseguesting strange men and children so fast. 
And who’s the alcoholic? The love child half bro or your FIL?[/quote]

The alcoholic is DH's half brother. The FIL had a forgotten affair or so that was what he told us. He actually hasn't met DH's half-brother out of loyalty to MIL. So DH is the 'only' family this guy knows because DH is a softie ("Maybe I can persuade dad to meet Dingbat someday"). BIL, DH's full bro, also isn't meeting this guy out of loyalty to MIL. DH actually said yes to hosting Dingbat a second time because "he's family" and "he's bringing his kid". We have met him three times on prior occasions (invited us to his wedding) but he and DH keep in touch more often through emails and texts. All of us except DH thinks Dingbat is out to get something from FIL (bio mom passed away and he might be angling for an inheritance). I thought Dingbat wasn't too bad but that was probably because his wife was doing all the picking up after him but I hadn't noticed. Plus, they only stayed for two nights and their kid was easier. This time, he's been here for almost a week on his own and he gets stressed about the kid who's exerting his autonomy. [/quote]

This is so F'd up it sounds like a scam. you attended a WEDDING of someone you barely knew just because FIL supposedly is related to him?

I'd demand DNA tests from all.  Total scam.  Your DH had better grow up too.  Sounds like the family is taking up sides and your spouse is trying to please everyone  - cheater FIL, weak MIL, real brother, and Dingbat Scammer.

Keep your sanity OP, and stop the charity @hit to Dingbat. [/quote]
