[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should let him. What comes around goes around.  He is family. Who knows one day when you may need your family to be there for you for something.  [/quote]

Assuming people will do for you just because you did for them is such a childish belief. It wouldn't be surprising if nephew completely took for granted the kindness if op did host him. It happens all the time. Assumptions can create a bad situation.

I would consider it based on my relationship with my sibling. I have a sibling who constantly tried to get me to pay for things for his kids. He was not poor. He worked for a large blue chip company his whole life and never had to worry about losing a job. He was well paid but spent every penny he made. I found out after one of my siblings died that he guilted that sibling into funding one of his adult children. Some people have a grifter gene and look to get others to pay for things just because. If I had a hint of that I would say no once and not discuss it again. [/quote]
