📝 Aitah for wanting my nephew to go outside?

To start this off, my other sister sometimes babysits my sister’s son every weekend, and he’s 12. I’m 29 and my sister is 31 and our other sister is 37. Please don’t take anything I say to mean that I don’t love my sisters or her son. Well call my sister Jennie and my other sister kelise. So Jennie called me and asked if kelise could babysit because I live with kelise and she wasn’t answering her phone. Now sometimes I’m more of a babysitter than Kelise, because she just lets him do whatever. Kelise doesn’t work weekends which is why Jennie asks us to babysit. Anyway, this past week we had my nephew over at our house for spring break. My problem? My nephew had a screen in his face the WHOLE WEEK! There was even a time he needed to take Tylenol because he got a migraine! My idea was to take him outside or something. Let him enjoy the high 70° weather we have. My idea was the beach. It should be noted I don’t have any kids and Kelise has 4 kids. Jennie called me and asked how everything was going and I told her the truth. That his face was 5 inches from a screen the whole time. She wasn’t very surprised, but I then told her that I wanted to go to the beach and bring him. Well Kelise heard and went off on how she didn’t have the money to go to the beach but I think she missed the whole idea of what I was saying. See my nephew wouldn’t want to go outside with just me. I’m a very boring person, and even tho he loves me, we don’t talk about a lot of things. I mainly just mess with him here and there, I don’t usually talk with him unless he’s doing something he’s not supposed, or I’m asking how school was when I go with Kelise to pick him up. I’m narcoleptic so I don’t drive myself. Anyway, so my sister goes off on me and I finish the conversation with Jennie and then talk calmly to Kelise. I tell her why I’m trying to get my nephew outside. He doesn’t need to be online 24/7, I remember being told all the time in school by my friend how they went to the beach, or on vacation. Granted not everyone has money for vacation but we live very close to the beach. Now it should be mentioned I was distant from Kelise a lot but that’s other drama. She was a bitch that’s all I’m gonna say. Anyway, Kelise used to tell me all the time how she would walk on the beach, go almost everyday, and enjoy the sand in her toes all the time.

This post is getting too long and is all other the place. My issue is, if I’m gonna be part of babysitting, shouldn’t I have a say if whether or not he’s on the game every second he’s over at my house? (My house loosely. I only pay the utility bill)
