[QUOTE="Shari, post: 190747, member: 1848"] husband is not easy child 1's dad; he is easy child 1's stepdad, but the only father figure easy child had/has in years. I'm not sure the biology of the situation changes things, tho. husband and easy child irritate the snot out of each other because they're both so danged ALIKE in the leaving cr@p out arena... husband and I will revisit this tonight. Nephew's seen grandma and grandpa walk on us for a good long time, and I think that's all the reason more why husband needs to get involved and say he!! no nephew ain't hanging here til nephew can do as much as possible to make this right. Someone asked about an apology to me...no, directly, I don't need one. But I don't get nights away from all of my kids very often, and this particular night, I had a few hours to myself and was enjoying a BBQ when easy child called asking for advice to handle this situation with nephew. Even tho I did not end up leaving to go deal with it first hand, nephew's behavior put a serious damper on my evening out - helping easy child navigate the situation and then worrying about it. (Cause dumb-:censored2: nephew, even after all this, was trying to drive his own car home from the reception...didn't happen, thanks to easy child, but still...) And DDD I appreciate your different point of view. I have detached from the inlaws. Or am working very hard at it. I've had very, very little contact with any of them all summer. Which is why I was so ticked off to come home and find this one here. If husband wants to buddy up with nephew, so be it. It puts him in a heck of a spot, and I realize that. But he can do it somewhere other than my house. I don't have family within a 5 mile radius to go hang out at while husband entertains nephew at my house...they do. Therefore I feel like they can do it on their "family space" - of which has already been well established that I am not a part of. [/QUOTE]
