My nephew kept some of my son's handmade cards. Should family sharing mean he gets to keep them?
Family“Let him have the five. They're only drawings,” my brother said when my son asked for his cards back.
My ten-year-old had spent several weekends making a set of dinosaur cards. He let his seven-year-old cousin use them during a visit. At home we noticed five were missing. My brother checked and found them in his son's bag; his son said he wanted to finish his collection.
I had told my son to share before the game, so now he thinks I agreed to give the cards away. I didn't. I also laughed when my brother called it a little collector's raid, which made my son stop explaining why he wanted them.
We are seeing them again on Sunday. How do I get the cards returned and acknowledge my own response without turning the younger cousin into the villain of the whole visit?
