Troubling Times With My Nephew

Tweet

Hello everyone! I hope you all are well or at the very least doing better than me. I am sure this post is going to get mixed reactions but it’s an honest blog and I can handle anything that any of you would like to say. So from the title I’m sure you could guess that things haven’t been the easiest with my youngest nephew since he came back from his dads. When he came back, his dad laid down the law and gave him some rules to follow while he is back at my sister’s like going to bed at a certain time or getting up and doing his online assignments before goofing off on his phone. Well he hasn’t been doing his assignments and I have access to his online classroom as does both of his parents so I will screenshot what still needs to be done or needs to be fixed and put it in a group chat I started with my, my nephew and his parents. Lately Ryan has just been resubmitting the empty documents and acting like he did the work or refusing to make any corrections. When he was called out on it last night, he went off on a tangent and said he was going to sit there and be yelled at even tho no one was yelling at him. Then when I was cooking dinner he wanted to come in and complain to me while I was making dinner about his work and how his mom was being a b***h but I told him I didn’t want to hear it because if he had actually done his work like he was supposed to then there would be no problems. His response was to stomp outside and whip his basketball at the garage door several times. He is supposed to go back to his dads on Sunday and honestly, I can’t wait. Dealing with his mood swings and being in quarantine is getting to be too much. Especially since I have been at my sisters for the last 48+ hours due to the nurse calling in. I don’t know what to do or say to Ryan anymore. If you don’t agree with him or do what he wants, he gets an attitude and storms to his room. Then he wants to play nicely nice to try and get his way only to stomp to his room again when it doesn’t happen. Today is Friday and it’s my laundry day. I go to the laundromat because our washer is broken but Ryan has a habit of asking if he can go. With how he acted last night, I’m not going to take him. Especially when all he wants to do is complain and swear up a storm while we are there. I have enough stress as it is and I’m not looking to add to it. So I’m going to keep on keeping on for as long as I can because if I falter or become down and out, everyone will be screwed. Pray for me. Today I feel like I need more strength and patience. And a couple million dollars wouldn’t hurt either lmao.
