I'm in a bit of a spot. I live next door to my sister and her kids. I always keep an eye on their home whenever they're away. Last week, my sister and her husband went away for a romantic four day trip, and while they were gone, her kids, my nephews, had a huge house party. I'm very close with my nephews, but I don't think they should have had that party without their parents knowing. Now they're begging me not to say anything, but I gave my word to my sister that I would let her know what was going on. Should I tell her about the party the kids had, or should I just let it go? Hope you can help. Thanks. AnnaListen, I'm the "cool" Aunt too, but I think I would have to tell my sister what happened. I would probably downplay it, and make sure the kids cleaned up everything so that there was no s...

However, following our divorce, he and I no longer speak.He’s also asked me NOT to reach out or talk to his family.His sister and his father have respected his wishes and have never reached out to me. Honestly, I found this very hurtful.His mother called a few times over the past year, mostly around the holidays, and each time it was difficult and painful to talk to her.I never initiated any communication.At Christmas she left me a voicemail crying about how much she missed me and missed having her family together. She implied that I wasn’t doing well, and that hurt my feelings, too.I did not call her back and have not talked to her since.Around Easter, she sent a card, noting how much she missed me and how much she loved me.Again, I did not respond, but she did ask my son during a visit if I ever received a card from her. She did the same on Mother’s Day.I find it to be very hurtful.I a...
