I had several when I gave birth to my first son but they didn't really tell me much besides a number. I knew when it was time to push, they checked me, i was at ten and so I started pushing. Textbook. Took a little less than two hours to get him out though because he was OP. With my second, I went in saying no checks but consented to one when I started hurting pretty badly and just wanted to know I was making progress. Was at a "tight 5cm". DS2 was born 3 minutes later...
I think you are doing the right thing for sure. I know if it was my son, in the same situation, I would do the same. As for the awkwardness, I would just tell them the truth. That you are tired of your nephew hurting your child and no one reprimanding him and you don't want your son around that kind of influence. Or tell them you think they need a break from each other until nephew learns its not okay to pick on your son. It will probably not go over very well but it...
I don't have an older child but I do know that with my two year old.. If I let him know that his tantrum is getting to me, it gets worse. I have had to learn to be very matter of fact about things with him and then walk away. "You wouldn't let me wash your hair, so you lost your special lunch". Then tune him out.

My sons are hours from being exactly two years apart (now 32m & 8m). Love it. The oldest is an awesome big brother. Little one adores big brother. I think it has a lot more to do with your child's temperment than age though.. A child could be 8 but if they don't do well with sharing attention with other kids, its not going to be fun.
Hours short of exactly 24 months.
DS1 was 22m and it nearly killed me! It was what ended up being 6 weeks before his little brother was born and he just lost interest. He nursed a couple of times after DS2 arrived but then he started refusing. He would say "it brudders now". It made me so sad for him to not want it anymore when our goal was 4 years but he seemed to be okay with it so I guess he knew best. DS2 is 8 months and totally boobie obsessed.
Anyone tried therse?? http://www.mymilkies.com/
I used a wrap in a cradle hold. Then just untied the whole deal and layed them down. HTH!
Thanks mamas! Its so good to know I am not the only one dealing with idiots! The thing that bothers me I guess is that he isn't even that small! Just smallER than my first born. To me he is perfection, why don't they understand that??
