My son is a toddler. My brother yells at his kids at the top of his voice. he scared my nephew (his son) so much last week shouting because he threw a toy across the floor that my nephew scratched at his own face in frustration.
Ifeel I am perfectly capable of looking after my son, my brother clearly thinks he is a spoilt brat. Here's the example from tonight
Mum was looking after my son while I worked. Got there at 6.30pm. Just saying it was time for a bath and my mum brought out some chocolates (a present from my sister just back off holiday). My son has one with my niece (brother's daughter) and then he gets another without asking. I say put it back and ask nanny. He throws a fit kicking and screaming on the floor. I just make sure he is safe and try to ignore just saying things like come on it's bath time in a minute don't spoil things when you have been so good.
In my mind and experience of the days I work, when I get there he is tired and sometimes a bit attention seeking in the sense he hasnt seen me all day so good or bad he wants my attention.
My brother comes in from the other room (watching telly only ever comes in to bloody bellow) and yells at my son to get up and quit it. I say I am sat right here next to DS thank you and he is very tired please dont yell at him. Brother making comments like 'well someone had to take charge he is getting out of control, he obviously is allowed to behave like this at home'. When he is calm I say ask nanny nicely and share with your cousin. he is 2 and a half so says 'please i want it' Brotehr starts mumbling 'oh that's a lovely way to ask isnt it is noone going to teach him any manners either'.
Fed up of him. What to do and AIBU? I think I am a patient mother and he is an impatient arse who ignores his kids (when we are at my mums) only to come and yell when things get out of hand.
AIBU?
