Skids taking responsibility for their actions

I just wanted to thank everyone for their input on my last blog...but I think its a consensus that the skids should take responsibility for their lack of interest in their half sister and for their own actions...and we cannot solely blame BM if her kids are assholes, its that nature vs nurture debate.
No I should not tell DH that his kids basically hate him and don't care, said it in a round about way...but Im sure he knows its true.
I do also hold SO accountable to an extent as well, I asked him to teach them proper social etiquette, etc...but he says that BM has all the power and she really does, the kids really don't care about him, its sad but true...I know DH could do more, but they don't want to receive it...as someone put it once, in response to me, he would have more success banging his head against the wall.

Again it is appreciated...

Parents are responsible for the relationships they have with their minor children. I known plenty of women who are single mothers who give the dads pure hell. Those kids still think their fathers hung the moon. Why? Because the dads never allowed the mothers stupid antics to impact they did with/for the kids.
