Would I be wrong to send this article to my two teenage nieces who are addicted to TikTok and are enabled by my sister, without telling my sister?
EDIT: Those of you implying and STATING DIRECTLY that an uncle keeping in touch with his nieces is inherently creepy and sexually deviant are the ones who need to get their heads checked. The actual abnormal thought process is to immediately assume impropriety and pedophilia. And to THEN accuse a random person of said sickness at the drop of a hat based on a one sentence question? Get some therapy. I love my family, and am concerned for their safety, and there’s nothing wrong with that. You should all be banned.
Entirely possible that instead of warning them off it will give them ideas. "I can make money doing this??" Depends on what they're like.
Wrong according to whom? Not me. I would do the same.
Your sister might not agree though.
I try not to talk to her for any reason
Understood. I still talk to my brother, but he's kind of an asshole.
Yes, you should send to sister and let her discuss
Trying to have a secret relationship with your nieces is EXTREMELY creepy. Bypassing their mom's wishes is creepy. Trying to control them is creepy.
That depends. What do you wish to achieve by doing so?
As long as you aren't in this situation...
