"Jake", my sister's son, is a very destructive child. Does intentional damage, screams, throws things, hits, bites.. My Sister in law keeps a beautiful home and simply does not want Sean there for TG dinner. I don't blame her a bit!
My sister just showed up in town (lives 600 miles away) and expects to be welcomed to "Nora's" home. I want to go as does my mother (with whom my sister is staying) but we cannot tolerate or excueseJake's destructive behavior. His mom has no control and spoils him rotten (Gives him M&M's for lunch, buys him every toy he wants, laughs when he bites people.) This is why he is so difficult - we do not blame Jake himself! But the fact remains that he is a really hard kid to love right now.
Is there a way to politely tell her that there is no room for "Jake" at this event? We love him, but he is not just a child, he is a real brat and his screaming alone would ruin it for everyone.
Please don't think I'm heartless, I'm not phrasing this well...
