NTA - it’s his birthday, your mom is the AH for inviting the bf during your brother’s time

not wanting to go out to dinner like he always does? Going out means inviting the boyfriend. We can't leave the boyfriend at home and take my mom. Need opinions

NTA, is it ok if you and your brother go to dinner alone? It’s your brothers birthday, he should decide who he celebrates with

He’s not. It’s HIS birthday. Plus, even you said he’s annoying so he must be😭 Sure, it’s just dinner but your feelings are valid. You shouldn’t have to be subjected to him if you don’t want to be!!

Just tell him to zip it and hand over the present

I don’t really think this is a good reason to hate him, but NTA it is his birthday

NTA If you can, take your bro out alone just the two or three of you. Maybe w him and his friends? Ice skating is cool and cheap. Just pay for him. It’s his b day so do what he may like or want. I see mom’s perspective of wanting a whole family lifestyle but she also needs to understand like being younger, if the family doesn’t like them then it probably is not the best Fit. But also if she does see it long term you both also have to make a small common ground on it bc she’s happy
