[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the helpful suggestions! [b]I will definitely communicate with my nephew about his parents, [color=red]though I don’t think their attitude will be a surprise.[/color][/b] We have space so I like the suggestion of having 2 rooms and letting them decide. I have been working on standing up to my brother and being more assertive, but it’s been a lifetime of listening to him as the baby sister so old habits die hard. [/quote]

Hmmm...sounds like you want to create a rift between the father and son, instead of being a peacemaker.  It seems like  you are enjoying the idea of reminding your nephew how regressive your brother's thinking is.

What will you achieve by rubbing your nephew's face with this info? Do you like the idea that your nephew and your brother may have a falling out because of this?  [/quote]

Her brother is asking her to impose his rules on his son. If he can’t work it out with his son on his own, that’s not OP’s problem. [/quote]

She can be neutral like Switzerland. Provide two rooms and let the young couple decide. No need to do postmortem of what her brother said or be involved in what her nephew wants.   Why does she want to be like a dog shoving its snout up every ass?
