[quote=Anonymous]I would come down hard on the whole situation. I would say, "I get it we are all in a shitastic situation"... "I am sorry your parents are getting a divorce, I am sorry you are being forced to stay here" turn to your kids "I am sorry that your whole world has been invaded" but.... "we are family and we need to make this work" these are the rules... I would write down the rules. Wake (time) shower (time) eat (time) clean up your own stuff Activity... what do you do pool, hiking, just sit around all day I would make the kids (1 at a time) help with dinner, I would make them earn screen time, etc. Find things for them to do withOUT each other so they get time alone. They need to act like a team ... a family! They should have an opportunity to express themselves, if something bothers them hear them out (individually). Truthfully... I wish I could have done this with my niece and nephew who are now a wreck. [/quote]
