[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was there any activity for your 11 year old DS at your dad's (day camp?) or was he just home with grandparents all week? If the latter, it's kind of understandable he was on the phone and playing video games a lot - he was probably bored out of his mind!  I don't think I'd send him by himself anymore - visit your dad with him and keep the visit short to just couple days. [/quote]

This.  I can't think of anything more boring for an 11 yr old.  Were there any other kids around to play with?   Old Asian grandparents don't "play" but there are a lot of expectations about behavior that can get grueling after a while even for an adult.

I am Asian, Korean, born there and when we have family gatherings the kids interact and play with each other.  I would never send my kid by himself for a week with my parents unless they were also hosting his cousins.  No wonder your DS was on the phone and playing video games.

Have your DS apologize to stepgrandma and never send him over there again.  Problem solved.[/quote]

Agreed and agreed. What 11 year old wants to sit around and chat with adults?
