[quote=Anonymous]We had this exact problem over the holiday and weekend. My SIL came to visit.  Her 8 yr old threw a tantrum in Target...the laying on the floor, kicking and screaming kind.  The 6 yr old daughter if she wants more food just reaches into your plate, bowl whatever and grabs what she wants...doesn't say please or thank you.  She is generally mean to my daughters who are 6 and 4 years old.  Their parent never said anything ever to correct their behavior.  We took the kids bowling and the 8 yr old was throwing a tantrum because my older daughter was winning.  Everytime she bowled he ran screaming and crying red faced through the bowling alley.  The manager came over and told us  that if he did it again he is going to have to leave.  SIL says there is nothing wrong with his behavior.  We took them to the pool, I brought snacks for all the kids...after they had eaten all of those the parents give them money for candy but didn't offer my kids any or offer to give them money, I thought that was completely rude.

They live abroad and want us to come visit.  I told husband no...not spending my time and money to be with them. My kids asked why they don't have manners and asked last night when they were leaving and then asked if they have any other cousins.  Unfortunately, they don't.

Grandparents seem to overlook their bad behaviors and actually favor SILs kids. [/quote]
