[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. He's actually my stepson, so I don't have a say on the Xbox situation. He is plugged into that thing all day but DH just says "it's summer ". [/quote] Well then let's step back. The issue here isn't really the kid, is it? * Be glad you anticipated in helping him see something more than x-box. * remember what it was like to spend all that time with adults. * separate put your feelings for your step kid from your assessment of what kind of kid he is. * not his fault he "ruined" your vacation. (In quotation marks because it isn't clear to me why you would expect to get a vacation without an 11 year old after marrying into the family. I haven't had one of those in decades, because we have a kid and that is that.) * once I read the word "step" it was all crystal clear. I went on a family vacation with my dad and my stepmom when I was 23. She was detestable to me the whole time. No fun for anyone. (My dad invited me along). [/quote]
