My wife and I live 3000 miles away from our families, so we see them 2x/year max.Everyone was in town this weekend. My wife’s brother has seven year old twins (boy and girl). We have two girls, ages two and one.I first noticed that the boy was kissing our two year old a lot. As in, probably kissed her a total of fifty times by the time I started getting concerned. I know he’s a kid. I know he’s excited to see his cousin.Then I started noticing every time I changed my two year olds diaper (in the other room) he would make his way to the other room. He would also stand behind me and look. I made a joke about it and go “hey pretend this is the girl’s bathroom buddy, no looking.” This happened two more times throughout the day.I noticed a lot more kissing also. Now, compare that to the twin sister who maybe kissed our daughter five times.My sister came up to me out of nowhere and goes “keep an eye on that little boy.” I go “what do you mean?” She goes well that’s a lot of kissing and it’s making my hair stand up. He also followed us into the bathroom when I tried to put her on the potty.So I’m not the only one who noticed.So I told my wife my thoughts. She immediately got on the defensive and goes “oh my god they see our girls once/year, they are happy to see her.” I then go “well what about the diaper changing and going into the bathroom? He’s seven years old. He’s in school. If as a second grader he went into the girl’s bathroom he would be in trouble. My wife said that’s different. Then my wife said in a snarky tone “I guess I’ll tell my brother that his seven year old is a creep.”My wife then tried to almost make an excuse for the boy and goes “well maybe he’s curious because he took a bath with his sister until they were six.”Never mind my wife’s immature responses. But someone tell me that’s not normal behavior for a seven year old...and that I reacted properly.Thanks in advance. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2LaTGpM
