Wrong or Right?

Man 20. Virgin. Impressionable. Just starting his drinking/dating journey.

38 year old woman. 5 children with 4 different Dads (one in prison). Offers it on a plate.

Mother is neighbours and friends with 38yo woman, says they are both adults and can do what they want to.

Man 20 is my nephew.

YABU - Leave him alone. He's an adult. Nothing wrong with it.

YANBU - It's all types of wrong and you are completely within your rights to be disgusted with the woman and SIL.

So bloody furious at the moment!!

Why is everything a 'journey' these days?

@KrisAkabusi

Because if you knew that side of my family you would understand.

I wanted better for my niece's and nephew. Eldest Niece has pulled herself up by the bootlaces. Don't want Nephew being dragged back down.

Your whole post is weird. Why are you linking drinking and dating? Why are you discussing your nephew's sex life with his sister? Why does she know if he's a virgin or not, and how is it any of your business?

Do you think your nephew would be happy knowing you're discussing him?

To be honest I find it weird that you know your 20 year old nephew is a virgin

I am very close to his Sister who is equally as disgusted as me.

I can understand why you wouldn't like it but he's an adult

@Ohmeohmygoodness agreed, but am I right in being disgusted with it??

I clearly will not say a thing. He is an adult. He is not incapacitated.

You can be as disgusted as you like but, unless he is mentally incapacitated, there isn't anything you can do about it.
