I Have Random Thoughts

I am very annoyed with my brother right now.
He wants to make the trip to come visit this weekend and is complaining about money and expenses and etc. ok we get it no one is forcing you to come visit. His wife and daughter are staying With us for 6 weeks which has reduced his household cost for 6 weeks and increased mine but I'm not complaining, I'm still feeding them and if my husband and I want to go out to dinner we take them with us.

I think his complaining about the money is a way to get us to feel bad and help him out to come and go. But I'm done bailing him out, loaning him money and getting him out of binds. He's the older brother my husband and I shouldn't have to keep bailin him out every time money gets tight for him. He's never been able to help us out or even offered when my husband and I have had our own binds.

I think it's time to just let him free fall he'll either stabilize and land on his feet or land on his head. It's up to him.

He doesn't live with us, he used to live in the same apartment building but he decided to relocate to another state.
He makes good money too but he's struggling becuase his wife isn't working and she refuses to work and he's ok with that becuase she's his princess...
I'm just so done.
If he wants to come he can find his own way here, and back.
I told my older brother 10 years ago when he come and visit, he'll have to stay in a motel. No offense but it's affecting my family. I am glad I did that, because he grew up and our bonding become stronger.
If I hadn't done that, I think we won't be talking to each other anymore.

At some point his problems are HIS problems. If he is older she should be capable of solving them
Sometimes you just have to say no. Let them solve their own problem, this way they can grow.
Lol I would've kicked my BIL out in his ass!!
I think you're doing the right thing...
What's your hubby say?

@Kekobaka - my husband says he will do what ever I ask him. He says at the end of the day he's family. But I can tell he's fed up with him too.
