Am I wrong for not getting in to my son for telling his cousins their dad doesn’t want to see them?

[Anonymous]

I was babysitting my niece and nephew today, and they kept telling my son that his dad (my husband) doesn’t love him because he doesn’t come home every night (he works out of town a lot). They done this all day no matter how many times I told them to stop saying that they continued on until my son snapped on them. My son finally said that the reason there dad hasn’t seen them is because he doesn’t want them. (Their parents are going through a pretty nasty divorce and their dad only wants to see them when it’s inconvenient for their mom). this caused both my niece and nephew to start throwing a tantrum. When my sister got here ti pick her kids up they immediately told her what my son said and she got pissed that I didn’t get onto my son for saying it. I personally haven’t talked about my sisters situation in front of my son but my sister will openly talk about it infront of any and everyone Including my son. Everything he said he has heard from my sister telling me or others

I mean, the kid should know that people don't work to provide for people they don't love, so he shouldn't have gotten offended to begin with when it's obviously not true.

But, no, I wouldn't have punished him, the adults are the ones at fault for gossiping in front of the kids.

Your son didn't do anything wrong. And it's your fault cause you didn't tell your sister what her kids were doing. Stand up for your kid!

My sister wasn’t here. I was babysitting them for her while she was at work. They told her after she got here to pick them up

I'll stick with my answer
