To make a long story short, my sisters x boyfriend moved in with my husband and I until he got back on his feet, he was in an accident and we are trying to help him out. My sister and him have a son together and share custody. My sister and I have been on the outs with eachother for several yrs now but she agreed to this arangement for her son's sake. My sister has a boyfriend whom my husband and I don't really see or talk to because of the situation with my sister. I threw my husband a b'day party last Monday and my nephew wanted to be here. His Dad and him were late in coming so i called over to my sisters and her b'friend answered. I asked politly for my nephew and he all of a sudden he said to me from now on when I call over there he demands respect from me and to acknowledge him. At first i thought he was joking but he repeated it 3x to me then hung up on me. He spoke to me like this in front of my nephew and caused chaos at the b'day party. What should i do? Please help me.

That guy is a jerk and probably using drugs or alcohol. Either way he is in need of professional medical help. Avoid him like the plague. Good Luck

First of all, the "situation" with your sister is the problem here. If you and your sister have been on the "outs" for a couple of years, don't you think it's time to resolve the issue- WHATEVER it may be. Your nephew can since the hate you feel toward his mother, and no matter what it is that she did, a son will always love his mother- so for his sake, don't worry about her boyfriend, resolve the relationship with your flesh and blood.
Your life is too short to live without family- if you don't have family then what do you have? Call her and invite her to lunch, just the two of you-make up.........for you nephew!

I made this mistake once too. When someone answers the phone, even if its not the person you wish to speak to - its polite to say hello and make some small talk before asking for the other person. Makes perfect sense now that I am older and wiser.

In order to recieve respect a person needs to give respect, obviously there are unresolved anger issues here.....sit down with them and have a proper conversation in regards to what you both need in order to get along, at least then everyone will know where they stand......you are all adults, talk it out.....seems to me like no one is acting like one.......

The kid isn't his so this should not affect the custody? He needs to wake up to himself and get over it, but then it isn't his kid so he isn't concerned about his affect on the kid. I am tempted to say don't change, yep don't change.

Tell him that in order to get respect you must earn it And tell him you won't help him if he does not give you respect. FLIP THAT ****
