[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that you even say "our family dynamic" without recognizing that they are now FAMILY is telling...and disturbing.[/quote]

+100000 As a stepchild twice over, that effing sucks.[/quote]

The OPnever said "our family dynamic" they have also done everything possible to be welcoming and accommodating.[/quote]

But ONLY if the boys aren't the kids they are. If they were "proper" boys there would be no problem.

Why couldn't the boys be allowed to attend but have there devices in another room?

As pp said, this event was not the time to take a stand against a new party the family.[/quote]

I get what you are saying, but are you really suggesting that its OK for people including tweens, to continue with escalating bad behavior with no consequences socially because that's "who they are"? The world doesn't work like that. I'd be curious as to how these 2 boys are in school, do they have many friends? I have a feeling they have emotional problems as 1 suggested, which certainly needs compassion but you also need to tell BIL to step up and deal with those BIG issues otherwise they will become more and more estranged naturally. Not to be harsh but the BIL was welcomed into a family that had no real obligation to do so, so the sort of entitlement he has here is kind of ballsy, these aren't his parents![/quote]
