my sister, 26 and recently married, has asked if she can take my eldest, 9, on holiday. for 5 days.
now me and the bloke, dont really have a good rel with her. she comes across as thinking she is better than everyone, and thinks nothing of being openly rude and ignoring family members when it suits her.
she treats our boy like he is a baby, but refuses to allow him to act like a child. for instance, she refuses to give the kids presents unless they are educational, and questions them about what they are doing at school BUT then thinks that some one should be right with them when they are anywhere. thinks it totally wrong to allow the kids to run off ( within eyesight) at the park, thinks you should hold their hand all the time when out etc, but has no kids of her own so really has no clue.
she seems to think that my hubby shouldnt have a say in sons life, and if he answers the phone to her, she wont ask him things, she will have to wait to talk to me.
she NEVER looks after him. ( or any of them) on her own. has never lived on her own, and i dont think is particuarly capable to look after my son in a foreign counrty.
sooo
ive said no.
and she has gone ape shit.
and so has my mum and other sister.
they think that as his aunt, it is her right to have him go away with her...
am i being out of order?
