[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  I probably should have clarified that the boys did not smoke right outside the house, but walked a few doors down and smoked in front of my neighbor's house.  Either way, I find it unacceptable behavior for obvious reasons.  They are in their late teens.  We don't live in DC, so it is illegal where we live.

As for the lounging on the couch, this was not Christmas morning, but Christmas evening after dinner (they arrived around 3 pm Christmas Day).  The boy was acting extremely rude slouching down on the couch with his feet up and not engaging with the group.  I actually think he is depressed, which makes it sad, but still feel his parents should have corrected the behavior.

No I didn't say anything at the time because I didn't want to cause an argument on Christmas Day.  Also considering that their mom (my sister-in-law) was trashed from drinking too much wine, bring up the issue would probably have created more drama that I didn't want to expose my kids to.  They were clueless as to what was going on, and I consider that a good thing.

I still don't think bringing up the issue now is going to do any good.  If they plan another visit, I will bring it up then.  I don't think saying the boys are not invited is going to do anything good for my relationship with my brother, so I will just set the ground rules for the visit before they come.

Thanks to those who gave thoughtful input.  And for those who called me a prude, I got a good chuckle.  You don't know anything about me.  What I do around my kids vs. what I do with a group of adults only are two different things.  I expect the same from my adult nephews.

Your explanation doesn't help anything and now I have to agree with PP that you need a surgeon to help you remove that stick up your ass. Slouching and not engaging is NOT a problem. He's a moody teen. His parents don't need to correct anything. YOU need to correct yourself and your idiotic demands that a teenage boy not get comfortable on the couch and interact with the group.

Also, they were smart enough to go away from your house and away from your kids. Sorry, grinch, but you can't dictate anything about what they can and can't do when they are NOT in your house and they have actually made an effort to go AWAY from your house. WTF is wrong with you? You ARE a prude and between your two posts, we know all that we need to know about you. [/quote]
