[quote=Anonymous]My two cents: 1) The issues you are describing with the boys aren't about weight, or video games, or food choices. They are about uncontrolled bad behavior in kids who are old enough to have far more self control. If they are truly hitting their mother, screaming, etc. as you describe, then that's the problem, not the other things you identified earlier. 2) It sounds like you've tried, and now the only action is left to you, and its a decision: do you 1) cut the entire family out to preserve your sanity, harming your relationship with your nieces along the way, 2) cut out the boys/mother and risk making your nieces' lives with their new brothers even harder, or 3) take a new attitude toward the boys -- placate where possible to keep peace -- in order to keep your relationship with the family. If it were me, I'd be looking mostly at 3, but maybe 2 as well. Good luck. [/quote]
