[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You stick with your nieces and nephews. They are your family. If dad doesn't want to come, that's on him.[/quote]
The brother is family as well. His kids are young adult, they need to start acting like it.[/quote]

It depends on if the dad has behaved badly (ie had an affair/has subsequently neglected his bio kids for the new family) or if they’re just generally upset that he got remarried.

If the former it’s perfectly reasonable for the young adult kids to not want to spend a holiday with them.[/quote]

It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the divorce, affair, or remarriage. It might be that one of the step-relatives is a problem person and they don't want that person around.

Remember, OP, your nephews know the stepfamily a LOT better than you do. They might know something you don't.

Sincerely,

A person whose stepbrother rifled through my grandmother's medicine cabinet during Thanskgiving dinner looking for meds he could steal.[/quote]
