[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] Nope. They're being brats. They don't get to manipulate their father or the rest of the family that way. I understand that they may have reason to be angry. They're still taking out that anger in inappropriate ways. They need to be told "Your dad's stepkids are also part of the family now. We don't treat family this way at the holidays. If you choose not to come to the family gathering, that is on you. Everybody is welcome." [/quote] It's appropriate to avoid your step mom if she's a home wrecker. They "get to" react however they want and show up or not as adults. Your recommendation is for how one would talk to a child and we've decided these are not children any more. The real kids know how family is treated, they saw their mother put out on the curb by dear old dad.[/quote]
