Advice for family visiting ... screen time help

Hello all,

I am probably over thinking a family visit. A close family member is coming with their 3 year old and staying with us for a long weekend. I have a 2 year old and 8 month old.

They are very much a standard American family. They do lots of unlimited screen time... cocomelon and IPhone games like candy crush for thier toddler, they eat fast food and just a lot of things way different from us.

How do you manage family visits and keep your house rules but still be hospitable? I don't want TV on all day ... especially cocomelon but I am unsure how to word things in a way that they feel welcomed

I am also very stressed because they are talking about potentially moving across country to our town so our kids can grow up together but they are raising their child in a way that I am trying to shield mine from. I wouldn't want to spend time on a regular basis but I don't have the heart to say that
