[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 735530, member: 1550"] I would be frustrated too, but there is nothing you can do. I assume you have shared this with your parents. It's their house. And you can't control other people, including parents, children, or other loved ones. They do what they want to do, no matter how we wish they wouldn't, no matter how we feel it is the wrong thing to do. And I agree that your nephew is being a jerk. But your parents don't care. All I can advise is to let it go because you have no control over it and no angst on your part will change what they do. If he hurts anyone, by all means call the police. But you again can't force your parents to press charges and they actually may all turn on YOU. If it really bothers you, perhaps you can call the county mental health center and discuss it with a counselor. This has helped many of us cope with this and other dysfunction. Have a good day. Others will come along probably after the weekend. It is also Father's Day. I got some free time because my hub is helping our daughters fiance installing an air conditioner or I wouldn't be around either. Hope it helped. [/QUOTE]
