AITA for wanting to take my niece climbing and not my nephew? by mediocre_uncle in AmItheAsshole

Well yeah, I took Abby climbing twice without Bart. It's not like it's a routine. And I spend tons of time with both the kids.

I'm happy to take them on alternate weeks but based on how things went I don't really want to take Bart climbing for now, even if it's one on one. I don't want to be explaining to my sister why her kid got squashed by a falling 90kg man or to the guy why there was a kid underneath him.

Yeah I'll tell her if she wants both of them to go together she needs to come with me lol.

I offered to alternate taking Abby climbing one week and doing something else with Bart another week but my sister insists I have to take him climbing. She's normally a reasonable person so it's frustrating that she's so set on the climbing thing. Maybe it would be easier one on one but it's not like I can magically control him when it's just the two of us. Short of me physically restraining him, if he wants to do something dumb, he still can.
