[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 204942, member: 1550"] Although I think you got good advice, I have two comments. First of all, your brother's kids are going to come into a lot of contact with kids who are like your kids unless they are homeschooled and locked in their house. I personally don't think he was very kind to you about your kids. I can't imagine banning my nieces and nephews from an event. If I felt it was risky, I'd probably say, "Do you think you can watch them so what happened before isn't repeated?" And I'd have left the decision up to you--watch them closely or leave them home. Of course this is just me. It wasn't very nice of him in my opinion to make YOU feel like a bad parent. You didn't want your kids to be this way, and they could very well change while his could turn the other way... Also it sounds like there are no boundaries in your family--what you tell mother goes to little brother, etc. It's up to you, but you may want to find a good friend or a therapist to talk to. I don't know how you feel about it, but I wouldn't want the entire life of my kids channeled to all of my relatives. I would probably not talk to them about my kids. If my confidant, my sister, told everyone else the things I told her, I wouldn't tell her anything about my family. JMO [/QUOTE]
