Hi there, I dont know if any of you have these type of people in your families but in my family there are a few not very nice people. My sisters boy my nephew is more like a stranger to me. When he was about 10 he tried to steal my mobile phone out from my home but I caught him running out the garden with it and he threw it in the grass. He has also stole belongings from my sons bedroom because after everyone of his visits in the past, we noticed several items vanish. He has even stole money of his own mother. He bothers with my son his cousin if he is in the area and brings him to my home and i dont like him coming here, he never speaks to me or says hello, he sits with his head bowed down like he is trying to avoid me. I have come to the conclusion he is not a very nice young man. His sister my niece even though she has never stole of me, she is also like a stranger to me, last time i was in her company i could here her mutting swear words under her breath about me. I tried over the years to be nice to these kids but its like they hate me so i have give up. I feel upset that your own family members can turn out like that, what advice would you give me on how to handle this situation, thanks?
Do you think it's normal?

At a situation like this, I would recommend you to be patient and move on forward. Eventhough, there are abstacles that can be overcome in life, an abstacle like this one needs to be worked not only from one side but both sides. So I would recommend you to do activities with them, talk to them about your feelings, express emotions, and provide them with logical reasoning behind your actions, words, and feelings. This way, you get to be closer to them. Also share with them what they might have been missing in terms of childhood love or caring because sharing is caring. I hope this helps and good luck.

It can be frustrating dealing with family matters. Have you communicated to your sister concerns about stealing? What did/is she doing about it? Have you looked into why your niece and nephew are so uncomfortable in your presence? Are these kids being mistreated by your sister and you?

It sounds like your nephew is a sociopath. He will most likely end up in prison if his behavior doesn't change. It is very difficult to help people with this condition. I would not allow your son to hang out with him even though he is family. He will most likely end up manipulating your son or at least having an negative influence on him.

You can't pick your family and you aren't even obligated to associate with them. If there is a destructive person in your life, family or not, you have to cut them out, and if they want to be in your life they have to change.

its not their fault I would say, Your sister must hate you and she has told these kids nasty things about you and so they are just acting normal they think.

I hate my family. Most of them are extremely well to do and they always looked down upon me because my parents are meth addicts and I have always been really poor.

My future inlaws are the DEFINITION of White Trash. You know, the types of people who would rather drink than work and believe they know everything and can fix anything. The type of people who have to win every argument and get annoyed if someone doesn't "bow" down to them.

Lastly, my sisters, I have two and the personalities are completely different than my own. My older of the two but still younger than me is a whore and she gets everything handed to her and my youngest one is rather spoiled from her dad. (different than my dad.) I just don't like anyone from my family either. I wish they had more morals and were better people but they just are pure garbage.
