[quote=Anonymous]If you can afford to pay the rent then just offer that. Its a rock and a hard spot otherwise because obviously you need to prioritize your kids. But, if your nephew is working at a law firm maybe he'll work pretty long hours? He might not be around much. He might also mellow a bit with some gentle redirection like "that's lovely you got an A. we're proud of Larlo's hard work too. We're proud of both of you." And then talk about other things, and SHOW this kid that he is more than his grades to you. It's tough being poor. On some level your nephew probably knows that if he isn't super successful at school he won't have the opportunities other kids (like yours) will have. Maybe that is why he's always talking about it? Maybe he feels subconsciously like he always has to be super smart otherwise he won't be accepted? [/quote]
