my sister has been seeing a bloke for around a year now, he seems nice enough and they seemed good together but she told me he'd started being funny with the kids, being snappy and bad tempered, I told her this would worry me and she should be careful.
Anyway last night she invited us around for tea and he was there, again he seemed very friendly, everything was fine. At one point her 7 year old son came walking in with a pillow stuck up his jumper, I didnt get it at first until sisters boyfriend told him to pack it in and take it out, my nephew said that his mum had told him to do it and at this point I heard her roaring with laughter from in the hallway, she'd actually sent him in like that to take the mick out of this mans weight! , I told him it wasnt nice and gave sis a 'look' and she couldnt stop laughing. A few minutes later her 5 year old came running in with a wet sponge and squeezed it over the blokes trousers, again sister was in hysterics encouraging them, the man was obviously starting to get annoyed, her 7 year old then dived on him and started squeezing his neck (disguised as a cuddle but this man was asking him to stop as it was hurting), the 5 year old then jumped on his shoulders and wrapped his legs around his neck! as he fell backwards onto the sofa he stuck his toes in this mans eyes to catch his balance.
I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing, sister had tears strolling down her face, in the end the poor bloke had to stand up just to keep the kids off him.
She thinks its hillarious even today but Im worried that this bloke is going to snap and hurt one of them, even without this surely the kids should be discouraged from what ammounts to bullying or am I over-reacting??
