Dear Care and Feeding: My Daughter’s Life Is a Train Wreck. I’m Not Sure I Can Continue to Stay Silent.
Both your nephew and his parents will have to grapple with what comes of him being allowed to behave as it seems he is. When he is in your presence, you should politely but pointedly correct his behavior. If this most recent visit wasn’t terribly long ago, talk to your sibling about what you’ve observed. Explain that you love your nephew, but find some of his actions to be somewhat challenging.
I do think that you should consider that your nephew’s behavior could be influenced by a number of factors; this could be the byproduct of how his parents allow him to act, but it could also be related to anxiety or even a behavioral disorder. It sucks that you like the ferrets more than your nephew, but you should at least try to be sympathetic to the fact that he is just a child, not an “asshole.
I will freely admit that I am uncomfortable around children and downright dislike poorly behaved children. While I enjoy spending small quantities of time with my friends’ kids, I have a tendency to be curmudgeonly and am also intensely introverted. My childhood was spent playing with Breyer horses and readingas an only child. I have no experience with boisterous or disruptive children.
