[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would it matter if the 2 boys were on the ipads all night? Seems like a fine solution to me-- whole family is invited, grandpa will get a few family pictures with all grandkids, etc., then the 2 boys can go off to the study if they want and watch videos.  Who cares?  I wouldn't have died on this hill.[/quote]

Agree with this.

It feels like you and your family are trying to impose how you behave/act on these boys.  Instead of being so focused on them acting the way you want them to, why not focus on how important it is to set a good example for them and hope they start to come around?

Whether you like it or not, they are now part of your extended family.  [/quote]

I think if the kids would just sit quietly, eat their nuggets and play on their ipads that would be fine and very unreasonable for Op to ban their ipads.  Problem is, these kids fart/belch/hit/scream/cry/whine/bully and otherwise act up at the table.

Would you want to sit at the same table with a couple of kids who were behaving like that?  Would you put them at a separate table?  Would you expect your own kids to just deal with it and sit with them?[/quote]
