[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.

Yes, I and DH absolutely should have said something. I was a little shocked to be honest that the parents wouldn’t intervene or do anything.

I’m sure my kid will inevitably have bad behavior at some point, I hope I will be wise enough to intervene if they literally start jumping on the furniture while a guest in another persons home, bothering their pets or barging in on people.

I don’t have much interest in inviting them over any time soon and have made it clear to DH and he agrees and is fine with it. He visits with his family often so he will see them again sooner than I will. We’ve agreed to do lunch sometime later this summer but visits at our house are not going to happen again for a while.

And the whole “isn’t he your nephew” argument? This is bound to be an unpopular answer. But, I mean sure? I guess he is but it’s never really felt like that because he was born before DH and I were married and I saw my SIL maybe once every few months at holidays so I never really got to know her or her kid that well (which is why I didn’t feel comfortable disciplining him). I don’t spend much time with them to begin with so I never really felt like much of an aunt. DH is more involved in his nephews life. It would probably be much different if I was related my blood to him.[/quote]

He agreed because he’s a wimp as he’s already proven. However, don’t be too surprised when one day he throws all of this back in your face and accuses you of damaging his relationship with his family.[/quote]
