writes: I have a brother and a half-sister. My brother has a daughter and a son and my half-sister has a daughter. I am closed to all my nieces and nephew. I do a lot of things with them (taking them places, watching them, picking them up and dropping them off at school, est.). My siblings have always been very thankful that I am the fun uncle in the family. Nobody makes me, I do it because I enjoy being the fun uncle of the family.The problem is that my sister-in-law has a brother name Phil. Phil and his wife have a son. I am not close to Phil, his wife or his son. Phil has been complaining that I will not babysit his son and will not do the things that I do with my nieces and nephew. I am not mean to Phil's son (I even buy him birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, Easter gifts, est.). But I do not feel comfortable babysitting a kid that isn't one of my nieces or nephew. I have a great relationship with my siblings and their kids, I do not even have a good relationship with Phil. Is it wrong that I refuse to babysit my sister-in-law brother's son?
