He's telling you things you should never tell your own children and on that part he's wrong. As for the new child, the baby is your sibling so you need to love him even if you cant stand her 'parents'. Also look at it this way, your child will have someone in the family that is their age who they can potentially grow up with, its not a bad thing and sometimes extended families do work out very well. Just remember that keeping your child safe and healthy is the most important thing, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. If they treat him badly, then they arent worth having in your life. [ Xanadu's advice column | Ask Xanadu A Question ]
