[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Of course I told him not to curse. It's just...things do happen. I am not shocked when a child curses. they grow up and learn. I know some people are; I choose not to hang out with them  - but this time they are my relatives. Again, of course my son knows not to curse. But when he is upset, and he is generally not used to so much interaction (he is introverted and an only), he is not on his best behavior.

iPad - he is allowed to have maybe an hour a day and they have to take turns. Of course he wants to show his games to his cousins. It's not like he is walking around the house with his ipad. I honestly don't know..you are saying it is rude, but why can't he show them something he is proud of? all games are age appropriate. I just know my SIL becomes uptight about it.

For English - so the consensus is that I let my son speak whatever language he wants? and then SIL does whatever she sees fit?

Ok, I think I know my problem now. I don't like the constant feeling of being judged for my parenting/them seeing my kid a "threat" to their parenting. It's hard. I really don't see how anything (except maybe abuse or obscenity) can harm kids in those 5-7 days.

But yeah I guess we should visit once a year. I still don't know what to do about video games. I could tell my son to watch/play in our guest bedroom only, but he will want to share and they will be curious.
