'Usually I'm not one to stand up for myself so I feel weird about it'
A mum has divided opinion online after she stopped collecting her nephew from school due to her sister refusing to pay for a TV he allegedly scratched.
In a post titled 'Not picking up nephew because my sister is refusing to pay for tv he scratched', she wrote: "Last night I messaged my sister and told her that she needed to agree to pay for the TV or I wouldn't pick up her son after school and watch him anymore. He is her son and she is responsible for making sure he is picked up, not me. She didn't reply after that.
Parenting dilemmas Another said: "I really couldn't push it this far with my own nephew. In fact, I don't think I'd ever ask anyone to pay for anything broken in my house by their own child. It goes with the territory. I am sure he lied but he's just a kid and probably scared. His mum may not be handling it well, but I think you are being unreasonable here.
One said: "I think you have both been unreasonable and escalated this situation to a point it's going to be really hard for this lad to fess up into. De-escalate and talk to your sister. It's not great that the TV is scratched but presenting her with a bill for a new one is overkill."
