[quote=Anonymous]OP, the last time we vacationed with my SIL and her children, they were on their screens all the time (including at the table while eating meals...when everyone was sitting at the table together) and it was obnoxious. Our kids asked why they couldn't do the same and we just kept saying that we have different rules. For what it's worth, we do eat fast food and we do allow our kids to have screen time on their iPads, especially, like you said, after a few hours in the pool.

If your kids will all together, then I think letting yours be on iPads while hers weren't was a little rude? You said you're in different cottages but then how did they know what was going on? If they were together, I would have suggested doing something together. If they were apart, I wouldn't have minded iPads for a bit, but it sounds like they must have been together if they knew what your kids were doing.

HOWEVER, the fact that your sister lectured you based on her "concern" for your children is the most obnoxious thing that happened. If I were you, I would try to make peace and have fun. Ignore her judgment but think about your niece and nephew and maybe that will help? [/quote]
