[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Husband’s sister. She acted offended/put off for a bit but seems to have recovered. Now she just says really dramatically and pointedly “Well MY children must XYZ…” I feel like she is making more rules than usual for her kids just to make a point, but whatever. [/quote]

Then let her and keep doing what you want. Every time she gets high and mighty about what her children must do, just have a canned response. "I love that for you, Jane." "That's lovely. Would you like another cup of tea?" Pay her no mind and she will either tire of making her pointed comments, or spend less time with you. Either way, sounds like a win.

If some other adult TOOK and HID a 12 and 15 year old's devices, that is beyond inappropriate. All the people on this board who go nuts over other people not having the right to parent/make decisions for your children, but somehow this is ok? Absolutely not. I don't care if OP is the laziest, most lax parent ever. You don't get to parent other people's children. Seeing OP's kids on screens does not hurt her children, and if her children are so screen restricted that they are going nuts over being around OP's kids, oh well. That is her problem to work out. How do these kids make it in the world then? Because screens are everywhere.

FWIW, my child is limited on screen time and I would never and have never tried to enforce my screen restrictions on anyone else's child. [/quote]
