[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I remember from childhood when I didn't want to do something my feet would be killing me which didn't help my mood.  If it was something I was interested in, I was foot loose and fancy free.  It just may be that age.

Also, did they eat differently when they were visiting you compared to their diet at home?  You mentioned early on that they would eat simple carbs all the time if they had their choice - if the food was different, it may have messed with their blood sugar, making them hangry and cranky.  Of course healthier food is better, but dietary changes may have had an impact on their behavior in the short term.[/quote]

Op here. I asked for a list before they got here of what to buy. It was pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, donuts, cereal, mac n cheese. I bought them what they asked for but tried to also provide healthy sides (broccoli, peas, strawberries, apples, etc.). They asked for soda and juice but I did not buy those things.

Their diets aren’t great but that’s really for their parents to sort out, not me. No way am I picking a battle like that with visiting tweens. [/quote]

I’m mildly curious about your relationship with the kids’ parents. Did you grow up differently than your sibling? [/quote]
