For the holiday, my extended family comes to my lake house to spend time together. We were all excited this time since it would be my nephew's first time up there. My sister and I were excited to get him on the water and enjoy the outdoors. The thing is her husband is an absolute fool. For half the weekend he had a beer in his hand. My sister has voiced her frustration about him to me before.
By Saturday, I was annoyed with his detached parenting style. My sister had no time to relax. I told him privately to sober up and enjoy time with his son. He said that isn't my concern and just because I'm not able to have kids doesn't mean I can parent theirs. This comment ticked me off, but I just told him he should be more present with his son.
By Saturday afternoon He and my sister packed up to leave. My sister stated he is just upset at the moment and to just give him some time. My older brother told me I wasn't wrong for being concerned but that I should of stayed out of it. Did I mess up?
