[quote=Anonymous]A whole summer is a LOT to take on a nephews who isn’t kind to the people in the family. Would you be expected to drive him to and from his job? What if he makes friends and wants to go out, will he abide by a curfew? Would he want to borrow your car if he had a license?

I didn’t have money growing up and my parents  would have never asked anyone to do this for me. When you don’t have the money, you just can’t do everything, and that sucks, but it’s not up to the other families to take care of it.

If you DO end up taking him in out of guilt, then I absolutely would make ground rules up front about things like curfew, expectations around the house (helping with dishes, doing his own laundry, picking up after himself, not leaving the bathroom messy), and especially kindness to his cousins.  My nephews can be obnoxious, but when their parents are around I have to keep my mouth shut. If one of them lived with me and said something I wouldn’t let me know kids say, I would 💯 not hesitate to say something, especially if it’s to protect my kids.

GL, let us know how this all plays out.[/quote]
