Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Unfortunately, family gatherings are only at my dad's house, or her house, or her sisters house...which would make said suggestions hard because I can't enforce "my" rules at their houses. I've talked about this with my dad, and he and my stepmother have mentioned the bad behavior (nicely, of course) to my stepsister but she gets very defensive, so approaching her would probably do no good. I'm still thinking of how to handle future get togethers, because my dad holds a lot of barbeques in the summer. Thanks for listening to me, everyone!
