[quote=Anonymous]As I’ve read through this thread, I’ve moved from team OP to team tweens.

It sounds like they are living a complicated situation at home and were probably excited to come visit with their well off aunt. What did they want to do over this weekend? Did each of the 3 kids get to choose something? Siblings fight, did you handle it correctly? Did you really get them t-shirts in hope of a photo shoot??? How many other posed things did you hope for. Tweens don’t act like 4 year olds. They have opinions and no problem in sharing them. They don’t want to be dragged around by a disapproving aunt who sees herself and her family as better than them (which is the tone you are giving off).

You seem to have judged them the whole time as being bratty and annoying. Kids can sense disappointment like that. If you can change your attitude to let’s just have fun, that can help. Lower your expectations for the kids and just try to enjoy their personalities! Stop trying to be the disciplinarian. Be the fun aunt![/quote]
