[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are weirdly and inappropriately demonizing a ten-year-old child.[/quote]

Not demonizing just identifying that the relationship is hurtful to DS.  Another example- they have a three row vehicle and DS is obsessed with the idea of riding in the back row. It’s all he talks about. I always tell him know bc it’s hard for me to get back there and the buckle for one seat belt sits really low and is hard to do.  Nephew knows DS wants to sit back there so nephew goes back there and sits in the “easy” to buckle seat. We can’t get the tricky one to click so I tell DS he has to come back to the middle row. DS is so sad about it that he starts crying, meanwhile nephew sits in the third row contentedly while SIL says nothing.  [/quote]

This sounds like a you problem OP.  Go out to vehicle we’ll before you need to leave and pull the buckle out more. Or don’t even let DS start back in the last row so he’s not crying. The kids ages are too far apart for them to get along right now, especially if the cousin is more mature for his age and your DS is less mature for his age.[/quote]

Most kids have "assigned" or preferred seats in their cars.  If that's where he normally sits, he may not know or think about.  This is a child.  [/quote]
