Sick Brother

[jennyjoan]

Some weeks my nephew his partner and two year old son have moved in with sick brother who has held on to his independence vehemently.

Anyway I am not getting involved but my sister and I have heard that the little baby is going down to him in bed and jumping on him at 7.00am - He doesn't get up until a later time cos he is so feeble. He is just a skeleton at the moment. Another thing baby is hiding things on him in the room and he (brother cannot find them). If he wasn't so sick it would be amusing.

We know that my brother likes them being there but what can he do re the above situation. Just asking for your opinions. JjCon

Keep out of it. He must say if it is too much for him and wants mum to calm little one down a bit.

I am - Brinjal keeping out of it as I have enough of my own problems to contend with. You know young ones today - parents are late 20s - but baby can do no wrong. All I can see parents never say "No" to their babies and children.

My worry is that if he does say anything to them they will promptly move out and that would be sad.

I'm sure he can say something diplomatic and emphasis his poor health and better for him to have a quiet word before it gets too much for him and really wears him down. I hope he can sort things so that all are happy.

I don't think it's too much too ask that the parents stop the child coming into your brother's room, at all, and especially at 7 in the morning.
