I understand that, 100%. Let's say if my brother didn't believe in it either, I wouldn't have done it. It's not my place to do something that he wouldn't do himself in the same situation. But knowing that my brother would have done the same thing, I felt it was somewhat appropriate.

But yeah, if you were my brother, and a nephew did the same thing, I would have handled your kid how you would have handled it.

I wouldn't agree with it, but it's not my place to change how the kid is being raised.
