[QUOTE="ksm, post: 457381, member: 12511"] Grandpa HAS to get in the game. Once, we had a teen age boy staying with us for a school year. Great kid, but one day he got irritated at me for telling him it was time to get off the computer. He said something slightly inappropriate - and my husband got up, asked him what he said, then explained that no one talked to his wife that way, especially in his own home. The student never did it again. AND... when he went home at the end of the year, his mom called and said her son was a boy when he left, but came back a young man. husband taught him to respect me... much better way to handle it than for me to demand respect. Your niece is playing the divide and conquer. It isn't fair to your mom to always be the bad cop. Grandpa should take a stand. KSM [/QUOTE]
