My sister’s 17 year son has just dropped out of an A Level course and he has a full time job atm.
Both my sis and my BIL are very well educated, upper middle class professionals- both did A levels, went to uni, worked hard and have now both got senior roles.
My sister clearly isn’t happy that her son left school, and when I went round her house for Sunday Lunch she’d had a few drinks and said in an angry, drunken voice that one of the ladies at church who has a son in the same school year as my nephew, said “I’m sorry for what’s happened” - ie my nephew leaving school. She went on to criticise nephew’s character saying he “couldn’t stick at anything and is hopeless”
my nephew could hear all this and was in the next room.
truth is, my nephew hated school and is much happier in work
AIBU to that sister’s being unreasonable?
my nephew dropped out of A levels - but I feel my sister can’t just scold him because of what another woman said in church ?
my sister has form for being immature abd a bit intolerant of differences
