[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 56354, member: 3626"] I'd say your dad is right about it being too many people to stay in someone's home. He may be right about telling your husband about the misbehavior depending on the circumstances. Other than that, I think he is far off the mark. No matter how the other kids behaved, all he is going to do is cause friction and hurt feelings by playing favorites. To bring it up in front of the other kids is downright cruel. Seems like it he should offer to take at least two of the other kids this time around unless it is one of those strictly blood relative type visits and then I would make darn sure grandpa took the other three on a special trip at another time even if I had to fund it. I do have one question -- if the PCs misbehave, do you mention that to your husband? If not, then I agree with your father that you shouldn't mention it unless it is something you would naturally tell no matter who did it. If it is something that should be brought up in therapy, maybe you could make an agreement with your husband that you will give a list for the therapist to see but it is not something your husband should do anything about because any consequences have already been doled out.
