Not much you can do other than being a good uncle. Take him out camping and other things that build self reliance.

Find some small menial task for him to do and tell him you’ll pay him in candy. After the job is done, have your kids go take 75% of his candy payment. When nephew complains to you that his cousins took his candy but didn’t help with the work, tell him he just got his first lesson in socialism

Sounds like you’re trying to groom someone else’s kid.


Agreed, wanting to teach a nephew outdoor skills is grooming.

Ever thought about putting on a G-string and dancing for the kid? Maybe have him tuck some money in your lingerie? You know, stuff that's totally not grooming children?

if you're around him enough, teach him a sport as well as the other things like camping and fishing. boys absolutely need sports because you're encouraged to acknowledge the truth of who can and who can't and as a team, you can win (or not). Part of the whole leftist ideology is that there should be no distinction. all equitability is like being thrown in a molasses sea. let him enjoy getting good by actually getting good. arm wrestle, race, think competitive. also, i bet the little guy is starved for a good belly laugh.

If he showed up at your house with that shirt you should have asked him to reverse/cover it up or leave. Marxist shirt to a dinner celebrating the most important Christian holiday is inappropriate and rude. He was being a passive aggressive anti-Christian.

Get him to play football and help coach the team.

You should have started by having him change shirts or leave your house last year. No one is wearing a communist shirt in my house on Easter.

If I had a family member like that, they wouldn't be welcome at my house.

Any tips on how to save the kid without starting a bunch of bullshite? I’m thinking maybe see if he’ll let me take him hunting. That’s gotta be a good start


You got it. Try to be a positive influence in his life any way possible. Tell him stories. Take him hunting and fishing. Go-kart riding. Camping, hiking, canoeing. My uncle was a big influence on me growing up and things I enjoy and my outlook on life.

Very thankful for him, I think I’m going to give him a call tomorrow now. He’s late 70’s and my aunt died almost a year ago.

Put a fishing rod in his hand and get him hooked on filling an ice chest with bull bluegills. Teach him how to clean them and fry them up with some hush puppies. While enjoying sweet, fried 'gills, give him his first sip of cold filtered American brew. Then, take him out to shoot cans with a bolt action .22.

Everything after that will take care of itself. Your BIL may even self immolate, as lagniappe.

Taking a 4 year old hunting isn't my idea of a sound idea. Going outside to play tag, hide and seek, red light green light, red rover is probably a better idea and more fun for the kid.

Fishing wouldn't be a horrible plan either but most 4 year olds aren't going to have the ability to sit still that long, so I'd stick to the docks where they can play in the woods or lakes edge, just keep an eye on them.

He’ll grow up to be a pussy. My wife’s brother married a girl from Oregon. She’d love a drive thru, post birth abortion clinic on every corner. They have 4 year old, he will be soft as baby shite. Rest of family is fire engine red. We see her bro/sil when they need something. I hope they leave TN soon, this place is growing more red by the day we need to excommunicate team hormone blocker members.
