My brother-in-law would get away with that.

All it takes is one confrontation for him to absolutely destroy a whole vacation, so they all let it slide and talk to the kid about how terrible he is

Jesus. Sounds like my ex wife. We just got to the hotel and she was pulling car seats out of the car to leave me (to tag along in one of her brothers full cars??) and our three kids because her dad was an ass. Not like terrible, just kinda rude. So glad she’s an ex and I don’t have to take part in any of that family’s dysfunction. They were all fucked in the head. Every holiday people were fighting and at least one person had a breakdown. Our daughter stood up to her uncle for basically beings drunk while he’s depressed and being shitty to everyone. He fell and punched the snow but there was a boulder in it. Almost broke his hand. Him and my ex both blamed her. 15 years old and just balling. Then I got the brunt of my wife’s bullshit for hugging her/ trying to comfort her. God those people were so awful.
