In a bit of a pickle...


Recommended Posts

BF hired my 19 year old nephew to work with him. What started out as a few days a week turned into 4-5 days a week. Of course, this benefited both of them...one hand washed the other. BF knew that my nephew didn't have any experience in the remodeling business, but wanted to help him out.

 

I have heard nothing but b*tching about him not being able to do this, or that...and how he could hire someone else that does know what he is doing. I am so tired of hearing it, that I finally told BF that I don't want to hear it anymore...I feel bad b/c I want to be a shoulder for him, and b/c I want to support his decisions, but I don't always agree with them. He wants to let my nephew go, which I know will cause problems with my family and he, but I agree with him, he does need a more skilled person to help him.

 

The thing that gets me, is that my nephew was good enough for the grunt work, and now he found someone else, and he just wants to kick him to the curb. I don't feel that its right. And, I certainly don't want any problems with my family and BF. I've been down this road in the past with my EX H...and it made for very uncomfortable situations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just stay out of it.

 

It's between the two of them.

 

Turn your head away and don't listen to it.

I think you should support your bf to the family and without going into detail, just say something like, He was hoping he could both help nephew out and save a little money by trying out someone unskilled, but it's not working out. He still must have someone skilled and can't afford both. But at least Nephew has a good reference to search for another job. Remember that last part.
