[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t want the burden of hosting my nephew for the summer either but I would have to weigh that against family relationships. Saying no would cause hurt feelings that would never quite go away. Your nephew sounds like a PITA but maybe with more time around your family he’d be great and your kids would be closer for life. [/quote] Usually when you say no to someone, and they don't respect boundaries and then you bend and give in it doesn't go well. This sews the seeds for resentment and estrangement. This does not sound like a healthy family. If the family cannot accept "no" I would not expect a 16 year old nephew to accept boundaries well in OPs home.[/quote]
