So I went to my folks house this weekend to watch the Patriots end their season in the playoffs. During the football season my brother and his friends go there as well to watch the games. Now I have mentioned that the boy isn't sleeping well. My brother knows this. So the boy is asleep by 8pm right around kickoff.
His friends come over and are screaming with every play. I ask em to keep it down because the kid is sleeping.
My brother: "I know he is sleeping but come on..it's football"
This is my sons uncle talking. Fucking dick.
They get louder again I ask them to quiet down. Again he gives me the "It's football." line. I don't mind people talking or even talking in loud voices but people are screaming.
Then the kid wakes up.
SCREAMING. He sounds like someone tried to kill him.
Obviously a bunch of guys yelling at the top of their voices can frighten a child of one and a half years.
My wife tries to calm him down and get him to go back to sleep. Again I tell my brother to keep it down and he says. "Well he's up anyway now."
Fucking dick. I wanted to kill him. I go to see my son and I hear him say:
"Does he want us to write on notepads?" I grab my wife and say lets go home. It's about 10 pm now and a 90 mile ride home. I am so pissed at this point. Inconsiderate fuck.
Of course my folks don't say a word and my mom actually defends him. She says I would have done the same thing if it was me. I am livid right now.
My mom thinks I would actually mouth off if my niece or nephew was trying to sleep and not give a fuck if the kid woke up.
My mom has no clue. She thinks that I wouldn't tell my friends to keep it down so a baby could sleep.
My brother is a big old pussy of a mama's boy.
My kid was up til 1 am. I am still pissed.

heh I understand you so well. this same thing appened with me during holidays.
Since then, I've learned that I should simply not do some things. like go to parties (and think my kid can sleep in the room next door). I would be pissed too. But it is hard for you to put yourself in the other person's place. He is wrong. but just because he is not the parent. I think only a parent would understand you there.
He was a dick. I agree with you.
But I still think the best for you is just to keep away from loud parties.
Or at least keep the baby away (baby sitter, or leave the wife and go watch with your friends somewhere where you can make noise).
This is what I decided for myself. it prevents these things from happening....

It wasn't a party. It was a football game.
I fucking hate people who get loud and crazy over every friggin play. Its because of people like that that I dont like football. Chill the F out.

p.s. He is still your brother so your allowed to hit him.
I don't mind it..but the kid was sleeping and he knew it. That's what pissed me off.
