[quote=Anonymous]The nephew is grown and your kids are your. Perhaps your memories, as a non-parent, of your nephew’s childhood discipline and behavior are cloudy. Also, how I deal with my kids at family events when they are bored, off schedule, eating strange foods and getting berated by adults with questions is very different than how I deal at home. At family events, I am trying to minimize meltdowns and reassure my kids in a strange place. That probably looks like spoiling to non-parents. Parents close enough to the toddler / preschool years would recognize it for what it is - struggling to contain chaos and avoid power struggles when taking the kid and leaving isn’t an option.
