[quote=Anonymous]OP, get real. You're expecting a 17-year-old guy to act like a woman. He's at the age where guys often act obnoxious and uncaring towards family because they're in an important phase of separating from family control and becoming their own man, emotionally. Soon he'll mature past this, but he may never be a keep-in-touch kind of guy. Your criticizing and attempting to control him is something you need to dial back. He resists you as much as he does because he feels safe doing so, since you obviously care about him. I would invite him and his boyfriend down to stay with you for a few days. You show more by quiet example than you do by nagging. It will widen his view of the world, and be good for your relationship. And he'll get to meet his nephew. Just be cool about it all--no nagging, no criticism. I think I understand what his world is. I have a lot of family in small-town Massachusetts.[/quote]
