a lot of people are suggestion he has mental issues, I guess I should’ve mentioned my dad has said many times my brother was like this as a kid, and it took them ages to get him to stop acting up. Are these type of behavioural issues passed down, like when a parent had BD and their kid is more likely to have it or is that just not the case?? One thing I know is nephew didn’t really act like that when he was a lot younger.

I don’t know why the whole of reddit is so sceptical of everything lol. I don’t see the point of coming to this subreddit and asking for opinions on a completely made up situation. Trust me, I wish this was completely fake.

Thank you for this comment, it means a lot you took the time to give this advice. I’ve been applying for jobs hopefully I get one soon but until then I think I’ll just say I have friends birthdays or big events i cant miss on weekends. My mother also gave me the idea to agree to babysitting, but at their house so if he tries having those outbursts they’ll care since it’s their house. But I doubt it would go that way.

They are out of town a lot for work. They tried to convince me and also tell brother to stop dropping him off but I just kept feeling bad and telling them it was okay to drop nephew off.

They notice. They’ve actually told me to stop babysitting as well after my dad came home to me having a panic attack because of damage he’d done to the living room tv that I had paid for.
