[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is your own fault, so stop whining. If my sister said hey guess what, Bill and I won’t be there, but we’re sending you the kids I would say haha, good one, don’t expect anyone to get them from the airport because not only am I not doing that, I’m blocking all of your numbers for that week.

Seriously. WTF, OP. I feel sorry for the kid. His parents sound like morons. You could give him the best week if you just lightened up a bit and recognized it’s not his fault his parents didn’t raise him well. [/quote]

Why is it OP’s job?  This is OP’s vacation and it sounds like the sister wanted a break from their kid and sent them away.  No sane person would do this to another relative without getting their ok.

An 11 year old doesn’t need a phone.  I don’t know all you posters telling OP to buy a charger are ridiculous.  She let him use her charger and he broke it!  I have never had a charger break.   Take his phone away at 10 PM and say you’ll charge it in your room overnight.  I also would limit hours on the phone.  Try and ask him what he is interested in and plan an activity he might like.  Rock climbing?  Laser tag? Boating?  Water park?

I would call your mom and say never again. Explain what she did is not ok and made you miss a day of your vacation and caused you to essentially be a babysitter.  I would also have a conversation with your sister after the trip.  Be factual not judgmental and just say factually you didn’t appreciate what she did.  Don’t take a trip with them again. You have a sister and mom issue not a nephew issue he is a kid.  My SIL and another relative is like this, they essentially dump their kids on you and make it seem like they are doing you a favor.
