[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that you’re hormonal but this is your nephew, right (dh’s sister’s son)? So presumably you’ve met him before? You have gotten good advice [b]but if his parents thought the behavior was ok [/b](I would have stopped my 4 year old from jumping on someone else’s furniture) you need to impose boundaries in your house for your own peace of mind. I’m sure someone can give you a script for how to do it tactfully. Good luck and congrats on the new baby.[/quote]

New poster here.  I can’t imagine parents thought this behavior was okay especially when OP explicitly asked their son not to put his hands in the babies face multiple times.  I thought it was more of a cop out of not wanting to discipline son so they put it on Op’s husband to be the bad guy to say yup, you need to fix this.  There is no way this behavior is flying at preschool so either the in-laws are always up at the preschool because son has issues with self control or your nephew keeps it together at school and it’s only at home that he does this.  I do agree that no toys and coped in the house is not a good recipe for a kid in general and definitely not one with a lot of energy.

I would say either outdoor gathering, neutral ground (like meet up at the park) or go to in-laws house where your nephew has toys and things to capture his interest.  My thought is I don’t want to have to correct someone else’s child (though I will in my home) or set up a scenario where it’s tough for the kid to succeed so meet someplace that makes more sense and where everyone can have a more enjoyable time.
