That's sad that it's not as you expected.
Can I ask are the boys playing up because their mums away or for another reason?
When I have our little ones without their parents , it's my rules . We are agreed on that because I don't believe in the whole 'I'll tell your dad when he comes home thing' . So we deal with issues immediately.
Is that something you can enforce as both the boys parents are no there ? It would be a shame if your visit was spoils.
