32-year-old aunt schedules last-minute wedding the weekend after her 18-year-old nephew’s high school graduation, freaks out when her sister, her nephew’s mom, refuses to attend
Good for his mom for refusing to put up with this nonsense. Graduations are not among the things you can reschedule. Well, I guess the Class of 2020 technically did reschedule some of their graduation ceremonies for 2021, but those redo ceremonies were not the same.

This will be so much fun for both kids! What kid doesn’t love to spend time with their aunts and uncles without their parents? It’s so much fun to be around adults who are responsible enough to take care of you, but aren’t going to parent you the same way your parents will. If your …

Uncle refuses to buy his 14-year-old nephew the $650 Lego Set he asked for after discovering he didn’t plan to build it: ‘He wants to keep the sets new-in-box as an investment.’
Why would he buy him a toy if he isn’t even going to play with it? There is a whole world of toy collectors, but very few toys could yield enough money to cover a down payment on a house.
Aunt helps nephew get a job at her company, hires him without knowing he never got his college degree: ‘Could this potentially hurt my aunt and her status at work?’
Will the company find out eventually? If you are a habitual liar, your lies will come back to bite you eventually.
