My brother-in-law and his girlfriend have 5 kids, 4 daughters and a son. The youngest, who are twins, are 5.5, about 1.5 years older than my oldest child. I don't have any issues with the girls really, but the boy is very bad about trying to hurt my 3 and 4 year olds. He will chase them and push them down, he'll try to kick them, he tries to hit them with toys, and basically, I think he's a brat. His mom and dad don't even acknowledge it, even when I say something about it. I have said stuff to him directly, I have said stuff to his parents, and I have said stuff to my husbands aunt, who watches them all the time. He just spits at me, the parents ignore it, and the aunt says it's just "him being a boy".
No, my kids are boys, and they know not to behave like that. Normally, I'd just not go over there, but they have many parties that we are expected to show up to "because we're family". My husband and the other adults have a good time, and I'm stuck making sure this mini-devil isn't trying to hurt our kids. Now, my boys have a b-day coming up, and I feel bad about not wanting to invite them when they invite us. Plus, it's not the girls who do anything. So, I'm at a loss as to what to do. Invite just the girls? Or not even let them know about the party?
I just don't want to spend the day being baby-sitter when it's supposed to be MY kids' special day.
The boy is one of the twins, I should probably add that.
