I’m 26 with a 5 year old boy & my sister is 28 with two boys aged 5 & 7.
I’m not very fond of my sisters kids for many reasons but let me just explain it really quick…
My nephews were both sexually abused & the abuse came from their dads side of the family not our side of the family, they kept touching my son inappropriately & I caught both of them on many different occasions touching my son… I talked to all of them & told them inappropriate touching is not allowed & explained that it wasn’t okay but regardless of how many times I had got mad & talked to them they STILL did it… they were just sneaky about it the next time.
My nephews have also been exposed to physical/verbal abuse, their mom hits them really hard… I witnessed her hit her kids so many times & scream at them, saying the meanest things to them but because of this they come & treat my kid badly…
They hit, kick, punch, scratch & bite my son.
They take away all of his toys from him & break his things.
They also call my kid fat & ugly, then tell him that nobody likes him… my 5 year old would cry to me all the time saying nobody likes him so clearly he really what they said to the heart.
I don’t hit my kid, I don’t call him names & I do my best to be a good, kind & gentle mother but it’s like all my hard work at gentle parenting goes out the window once my sister & her kids come around.
I feel miserable when my nephews are around & I get so agitated because I hear how they talk to him, I see how they treat him & anytime I say anything I turn into an asshole.
My dad isn’t aware of any of this but he repeatedly gotten mad at me & yelled at me then told my sister that I hate her kids.
He treats my sisters kids better than my son, he’s always picking them up, baby sitting & taking them out to eat & shopping all while leaving my son out. He spent 100’s even thousands on my nephews birthdays but doesn’t do anything special for my kid.
I may look like a shitty aunty but there’s more to it…

Honestly speak up and be honest. Show your dad the truth about why you truly don’t like your nephews. If your dad is still disrespectful towards your son, I would consider removing myself and my child from his life.
old fashioned or not. It’s a jerk move what your dad is doing
obviously tell him about your sister and her kids
I’m not sure how he will react or respond when I tell him the truth, my dad is very old fashioned & doesn’t like to talk about such sensitive subjects but I’m still looking for my next opportunity to let it all out & tell him the truth… I’m tired of him acting like I’m mean & evil when he doesn’t even know the reason why I feel some type of way about my nephews.
