[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you have two choices:  either confront her or MYOB.  If you do the former, it's very likely she'll tell you to MYOFB and could even cut you out of the childrens' lives.  Because, really, you are being exceptionally judgmental.

If you MYOB, then give her the benefit of the doubt about the vacation mindset and the need for a break.  She may have been at the absolute end of her rope for who knows what reasons, and she may have used the week at the beach to completely let loose.  It doesn't sound entirely appropriate but the children were ultimately okay.

Get the stick out of your ass and either give your sister a break on this one or offer to help her out in some way.  Judging and bitching from afar will do nothing to help your nephews or your relationship with your sister. [/quote]

Oh shut up!  None of this is ok.  It isn't the sister's condo.  It's OP's and she is not being judgemental.
She's concerned about the obvious neglectful behavior going on.

I have to shut up?  Simply because I have a different opinion than you do?  That's pretty narrow minded.  Why do I have to shut up, exactly?   It's true:  OP has to either confront her sister or mind her own business.  She is being judgemental because she is not giving her sister the benefit of the doubt about anything.  Again, it's not normal behavior but OP owes it to her sister to figure out what's going on.  Simply sitting back and deciding that her sister is an unequivocally horrible mother doesn't achieve anything.

You sound awfully defensive.  Perhaps you're OP and you don't actually want to look yourself in the mirror and realize that you need to take a more mature angle towards this whole situation?[/quote]
