[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone for your advice and encouragement. I really do feel better. I know it was wrong to vent about children but it was a long hard summer and my frustration level had reached its limit.

I really do feel for the boys. It has to be hard and I can't help but worry about their health.[/quote]

You were not wrong to vent. It seems like a tough situation - especially for someone who seems to come from such a welcoming family, with nice traditions, church together, beach compound- that's a dream family in so many ways. Having your family dynamic skewed for any reason is tough. It's worse IMHO when the people skewing it are actually not doing themselves any favors. These boys do need manners, respect, exercise, and real food. It must be tough to offer someone gold and have them kick and scream for crap. You are much more restrained than I am. I would have gone all Granny Law like in Talladega Nights.

BUT: you asked what you can do. You can tell your husband to work very hard with his brother to straighten these boys out. Don't be public about it. Let the boys handle it. It's your husband's brother's home. I'm sure he is hurting like crazy right now. So funnel your wisdom to your husband and support him in using his influence. Your own efforts will not get you anywhere and could backfire.
