[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, they are in college, I think it is fine to reach out to them directly.  Do you have relationship with them?  If so, meet with them for lunch and ask them directly.
You are doing the right thing by being fair.
Good on you![/quote]

Thank you! They are away in their college towns. This gets me thinking though. I could wait until Thanksgiving when they might be home.

We have not traditionally done things one on one as they are just past being minors and, previously, mom controlled all the interactions. So, having lunch would be a first. One way this might work is to involve the child of mine who is most in touch with them....maybe my child could attend the lunch? I will think this through some more and maybe I will involve my kids after all.

Thank you for the help and kind words! Yes, I am fair even though they have been told I am Satan. LOL

There is clearly more to this if they don't support a relationship or you never tried and just want an opinion and to control them.  No, you don't offer lunch.[/quote]

How would an aunt go about controlling college age people? Dcum is attracting more dumb people unfortunately. [/quote]
