Brody has always been a difficult child. If he was at the bottom of steps, and he didn't want to come up, he would just stand there and scream at the top of his lungs.
I am trying to come across unbiased, because (and I am sure you will all hate me for this) I don't particularily like him. I know that is such a terrible thing to say. I love him, but don't really like him does that make sense? I have three other nephews, two from my brother and one three year old that is a brother to Brody (Logan). Logan is starting to get some of his habits.
Okay, back track a bit. Brody has been diagnosed with ADHD, has epilepsy, and some learning disabilities. But on top of that, as if that is not enough, he has been able to get away with pretty much anything and everything. Like is he doesn't want food, he will just spit it out on the floor. My sister will get mad, but nothing is done about it.
Now I don't have kids, and I am the youngest of my siblings. I was totally ignored, and I feel like Logan is being ignored and this really upsets me because I am VERY close with Logan.
My mom, her boyfriend, my dad, his girlfriend, my brother and sister in law and myself all feel this way.
I don't know what to do!
With serenity, accept your sister and nephews, as they are, no stings attached.
With courage, try to change your opinion of the nephew you don't like, we all have redeemable qualities.
Have wisdom to know your boundaries and know the power of unconditional love, and to realize you don't know what it is like to be her.
