My Nephews

My two nephews Steven and Eric are the same age and fight all the time. Eric has a terrible temper, he cannot control himself when he gets mad, and will say hateful things to you if he is mad. Once he even told me that he hated me! Hayden is just like Eric when it comes his to temper. Hayden has a red hot temper and will even go as far as swinging his fist at me, if I make him mad. In addition to my nephews’ bad temper, they also have a ruthless attitude. Eric has a bad attitude when things are not going his way, if I were to ask him to do something while he is playing video games he would get mad and start yelling at me. Hayden is similar to Eric when it comes to a bad attitude, except he does not yell at you. He will kick things and cry if you make him mad. As well as their bad tempers and attitudes, they also are very stubborn. Eric will hear what I’m telling him, but act like he did not hear what I said. Hayden is equally as stubborn as Eric except I think he can really tune me out and not hear what I’m saying. If I were to be talking to him and ask him what I just said he will not know because he just doesn’t listen. Both of these boys are alike in so many ways, so I can see why they are always fighting.
