[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF? Is this for real? Your kids are offended by their aunt's personality and you want to talk to her about changing her innate trait?

How about you talk to your kids about what's appropriate and teach them to accept people as they are?[/quote]

Our kids are 5 and 6. Her kids are a little older. They do come to OUR house. But our kids are never invited. We can meet at the park but she sets very specific time frame: like 2 hours and not a minute more. Even if they are having fun. [/quote]

So pick up the kids and bring them to your house or the park and take them back home.

She's always been this way, she's not going to change.  If the cousins spending time together is really important to you, you make it happen.  And you teach your kids not to take something personally when it's not personal.  Because I can almost guarantee if you tell her she needs to "tough it out" for the sake of your kids, your kids will see even less of their cousins than they do now.  Because telling someone that their personality is wrong is never going to go well.  [/quote]
