A wife and mom felt like she was forced to do this with her husband after the time he was spending with his two nephews seemed to cut into that which he spent with his daughters. His sister's husband was frequently away for work in the military, and he often took them to play soccer in the park to give his sister some time to herself.
However, his children felt left out as they didn't appreciate the competitiveness when they went with their cousins to the park. This meant that they missed out on this quality time, and the mom felt the need to address this with her husband and ask that he spend a little less time with the boys. He accused her of being cruel to their nephews, and she wanted to know if he was right.

Man plays soccer with 9-year-old nephews multiple times a week, gets offended when wife suggests he's neglecting 6 and 8-year-old daughters:
For most parents, family doesn't begin and end with their partner and kids.
While these are the people who should take priority for anybody who is undertaking the commitment of coparenting, it is not realistic to assume that every minute of focus is always going to be on them. There are also grandparents, siblings, nieces and nephews, and all other types of relatives who require a little attention, too. Finding the balance is important not just for general well-being, but also for modelling to kids a good relationship with extended family.
Still, when somebody has children, most would agree that they have to make them their number one priority. Although there can be circumstances that warrant focusing more on other relatives, being a parent has to come first—when kids are still kids, at least. It might seem like an obvious thing to state, but some do lose sight of that. A reality check can be in order.
