please allow me to vent a minute

My brother sends his son down to my apartment when he has had enough of him and Tim comes down when he wants most of the time anyway. tim doesn't stay long but he and I have a good time while he is here. NOW FOR THE VENT! I allowed Tim to have a piece of gum. Tim usually does well with this and it is a treat for him as he doesn't get it often. Tim goes home and Nathan BARGES DOWNSTAIRS AND BURSTS INTO MY APARTMENT AND YELLS AT ME. He said You are not to give Tim any more gum I have told you not to do this as it is dangerous I said please don't yell at me He said when it comes to my son I yell I said so be it but you sent him down He said it looks like you can't follow instructions I said .Nathan don't yell He storms off. Poor Tim He got in trouble because of miss communication. I don't like to be yelled at nor my space invaded by anger. Thank you Donna

Bless your heart.  YOU have every right to vent.  Your home is YOUR home and your brother has no right to yell at you. If he is upset at you about his son then he should act like an adult and talk with you about it. He should not punish his son.   Donna,  I know you love your brother but he should not use you to take care of his child when he has "had enough of him" then gripe and moan at you like this.  My opinion and nothing more.  You know I am opinionated  

I am so sorry Donna.  Now...no one is going to come into my home and yell at me but once.  That is very disrespectful and thoughtless.  I am sorry...I know he is your brother, but that is not right.  Love you!!!

I would tell him I'm sorry I should have gave you the gum because your the one acting like a baby, and maybe it would shut your yelling up.                       

donna, honey, i love ya, so i'm gonna tell you plainly- your brother was rude and disrespectful, and frankly, you deserve better.  vent ALL you want-i think you're a great sister for taking care of your nephew when his own daddy doesn't want to, and your brother should get on his knees and thank the Good Lord above he's got you nearby.  he should also be apologizing to you.  *hugs* i hope the rest of your night is calm & peaceful. Love & Hugs, Donya

Donna, Your brother should be SO HAPPOY he has you who loves Tim as he does (maybe more) in a different way ..  He sounds like he needs to grow up himself.. I have a brother like that as well ,,,He talks to my sister that way but not me as he knows i will tell him to go home :)  Try not to let it get you down and just know it is his problem , not you . Hugs  Shirley

He must have been having a ity day!! I will say a prayer for him that his life will be made a bit calmer and that he recieves some happiness soon..He is in more need of attention than his son..keep the faith all will come back to him..Hugs to you.Juju
