To ban my nephew

My nephew is 16yrs. He has this week been found out using his mums card for purchasing PlayStation games. It’s a lot of money. He has taken things in the past that don’t belong to him. My brother does not punish him because he thinks that he’ll learn from his mistakes. All that has happened is he has been banned from playing on his games for a week. Am I unreasonable not wanting him to visit my home? He helps himself to food, wanders round my house going through things and is rude to me when I say something.

Your last sentence is enough justification to not invite him to your house.

His parents are very silly to fail to address his thieving properly. I know another family where this has happened repeatedly. No wonder some adults have such a casual attitude to stealing and cheating.

He's not your child it's not your job to punish him. If he is rude to you or takes things in your home you have every right to say, we dint speak to people like that in this house and ask him to apologise. If he takes things from the fridge, you say to him in this house we ask before we have something, if you are hungry tell me don't just help yourself. What goes on in his home is not your business, it's your brother's.

He wanders round your house and goes through your things??

I’d ask him to leave.

He’s 16 yo he must know that’s unacceptable.

I banned mine many times, he was a thieving little [deleted]
Smashed up my kids things, threatened to stab me etc.
Even got him a job and he couldn’t be bothered.
Can’t help folk who don’t help themselves.
He’s still banned though

You would be doing him a huge favour. If he doesn’t receive censure and sanctions, how is he meant to learn that his actions have consequences p?

He wouldn’t be welcome at my house based on your last sentence.

This ^ is the reason he is not welcome.Don't let him come over.
