Do we have to feed him?

No, no relation. SIL is my husband's brother's wife. My nephew is my brother's son. My brother only has to work part of the day so he will be able to see his son later that day. It is my nephew's custody time to see his dad. We are doing my brother a favor so he can see his son.

If you're going to drive 2 hours away mainly for this boy to see his father but his father must work, I'd skip this trip entirely and I'd take this nephew to see his father some other time.

So my nephew lives near us so we are giving him a ride, but my brother has to work so he will pick him up from SIL at a later time. This seemed to bother SIL with her question "do we have to feed him?" so not really sure we even want to go to their house again, but like i said, i was going to do it so i can give my nephew a ride to see his dad.

If your nephew is a minor that you have custody of and she won't allow his presence, I wouldn't attend. If he isn't a minor and you don't have custody of him and there's nothing wrong with his parents, I'd consider having him celebrate Thanksgiving with his parents.

Just say... No you dont because we have no intention of coming to a house to celebrate TG with heartless cheap bitch

You're both being rude. You should always ask before bringing along an additional person to someone else's home, child or not. She was rude in the way that she phrased her question.

Either way, he's just a kid and also, I could never say that to someone...even if I thought it (which I would not), I would not say it.

I'd probably refrain altogether with going to her house.

Sarcasm would be my goto response. Something like "if you are short on food the nephew can eat my share".

I didn't see that it would be a big deal. I could have added "would this be okay?". But I said we will have my nephew with us since my brother won't be home but then my brother will pick him up later. Never in my wildest dreams would I think she would say "do we have to feed him?" Dear God! So call me rude for not saying "would this be okay?" but she is definitely more rude!!!

Yeah, I ended up saying we will bring our leftovers but I wish I would have said your sentence.
