[quote=Anonymous]Again, you keep coming up with reasons that your son needs an iPad with him. You are defensive instead of looking at why you and your family have such poor manners and such an attachment to technology. Your son can play these games at home. It's really just poor manners to bring an IPAD with you on a visit to a family where they are deliberately teaching their kids to socialize without technology. Does your son have some special needs that prevent him from socializing without using technology? Does he have any other interests? I understand he gets stressed easily, but can you think of alternative ways for him to cope without using the iPad as a crutch? I am trying to help you understand that you and your son are difficult guests and it comes down to basic manners. You seem to have a hard time understanding social mores. I'm guessing this is not the only place where your family has had a difficult time complying with and understanding basic etiquette. Please work on it. The world is not an easy place and most people will write you off instead of being as patient as your SIL.

The language issue needs to be addressed. Cursing is rude and should not be tolerated. Figure out who is cursing in your son's life and ask them to stop 
. I'm guessing your son's native language skills aren't as good as his cousins so that's why he wants to use English. That's totally fine, but you need to explain that to your SIL honestly.
