Ok ladies,
Just wanting to vent and I hope I am not the only one who has experienced this. I really dont like my nephew! My nephew is 3.5 years old and he is an only child, he is spoiled rotten and he is RUDE! My fiance and I are teaching our 2.5 year old manners, how to share and be respectful of other peoples things and so far he is doing really well so well that people have commented. But my nephew is such a naughty boy who thinks the world revolves around him! He doesnt say hello when you say hi, he just stares at you and then proceeds to ask if you have a prizey for him? My mum babies him so much its sickening and when she brings him to my place she laughs at him if hes being naughty or fighting with my son over my sons toys! The other day when he was here to play he was fighting the whole time with my son, threw sand at him, yelled in his face when my son wanted HIS truck, told my son no when he wanted a turn in his ride on car and then pushed it over the garden ledge onto the concrete because he didnt want my son having it. I got so mad that I had to discipline him with " No ... My son does not do that to his toys and if you do it again than you cant play with it!" My mum just sat there and had to bury her face to hide the laughter.
Hes rude, doesnt say please or thankyou, if my mum asks him to do something its " NO" and she just puts up with it. Do I say something to my sister? Or let it go.. its getting beyond a joke and to the point where I dont want my son playing with him due to bad behaviors and influences. Hes nearly four dont you think he should be a bit better behaved and stopped being treated like a baby? It is really off putting and sorry but I just dont like him!.
Just a Vent.. but I really dont like my nephew!

I would definitely say something to my sister, but my sisters would have been whinging to me about that behaviour (if there kids were behaving that way). I would also say something to your mum. Unfortunately it sounds like your mum is being used as free babysitting and that might need to change. Your mum isn't up for the job obviously and has no interest in being the adult. So it's time for your sister to organise some formal childcare etc. personally I'd be reluctant to have them around again unless the situation changes. I would also point out this boy needs to start school in the future and will need to be prepared otherwise he is going to have a really hard time.
I get what you're saying (and I have come across similar kids) but remember it's not his fault. His parents and grandparents have clearly not set any boundaries for him along the way.
So you have two choices really: be prepared to enforce YOUR household boundaries while he's visiting (no throwing, snatching etc) or ask that he not visit.
To say you don't like your nephew is extremely harsh! What I think should be disliked is his behaviour.
Remember every kid is different and not every child is brought up with manners or taught how to share like your child. Do I agree with his behaviour? No. But this isn't his fault. This comes down to the discipline and boundaries of the parent/s so I would be speaking with your sister.
The next time.he comes to play before they even start playing say to him if you dont play nicely or wreck the toys then you wont be aloud to play at my house and will have to.sit out. If you mum has a go just say my house my rules. If he starts his bad behaviour then make him sit on a chair.
