[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Let me be clear on something: I did not know it would just be my nephew until the night before he arrived. My sister worked everything out with my mom, who paid for his plane ticket. The ticket was bought without my approval. I had packed the car and had to delay a day to wait for Nephew’s plane to come in. [/quote] Ok, so if you knew the night before he arrived, why didn't you say no at that time? Why didn't you say "I do not agree to this. I will not pick him up, so do not put him on the plane." [/quote] Come on, who is going to make an 11YO feel unwanted (other than his parents) when you have no reason to think he's going to be such a nightmare? Most 11YOs would be fine as houseguests for a week. Maybe not ideal, but tolerable, and it's worth it to make a poor lost kid get some structure and affection. But you can't turn around a lifetime of crappy parenting in a week. [/quote]
