The author was very close to his nephew, the 3-year-old son of his brother. He also had quite a hobby of making toys and furniture for him as a way of helping out. However, after his sister-in-law’s new husband got very ungrateful about it and asked for more direct support, the author started doubting if he was doing the right thing. After all, he’s not the legal guardian of the nephew. So in a very dramatic fashion, the Redditor turned to the internet to share the whole story and ask for advice.
