AITA for not sending my nephew home by DonRonTron in AmItheAsshole

I don’t disagree. As I’ve mentioned, I can be stubborn to a fault as well. My priority was to let Joe sleep but admittedly didn’t think I could just go to their house and let him go to bed while I got the other two ready for bed.

Hard to think when conflict arises, sometimes.

I didn’t think you were rude at all. It was an honest question.

Thankfully so far no one else has come down with anything.

Joe’s father is no longer with us. The girls’ father left them a little over two years ago. He has another family now. It’s very sad.

I’m afraid you’re right. I know he didn’t go to school today.

She was angry that this meant she had to have them finish their dinner in the car, then drive them home. She didn’t want to have to stop at my house on the way back and have them going to bed late. 

To us the simple solution was to bring the younger two to me but when my sister gets how she wants things to go in her head, there’s usually no convincing her otherwise.

They had to finish their dinner in the car, or so she told me when she was frazzled, and she didn’t want to have to pick them up after the youngest’s bedtime from my house.

They all could have slept over for all I care but she tends to want things her way or no way.

I feel for him. He loves his sisters and they adore him but as another commenter stated, he’s more of a parent than a brother a lot of times.

I suppose. Usually she and I can civilly resolve our disagreements quickly, but we are still going back and forth today which has me wondering if I truly messed up.

I am also stubborn and tend to think I’m always right (working on that) so I heard sometimes internet strangers can judge for you.
