Struggling with partner and his children?

I'd like some advice, and to see if anyone's ever been in the same situation.

Firstly, I don't have children.

I've been dating a man for 14 months, met his 2 children after 7 months.
It's still a very part time relationship, as in I go over there 3/4 times a week and only see his kids once or twice per week. (He has them for 4 days/nights per week)

I love him to pieces… But the way he has brought is children up is completely different to the way I would have brought mine up (if I wanted any)?

They NEVER say please or thank you. To me, if you can only teach a child one thing ever, you teach them manners.

Also, they spend every second of the day on some sort of electronic device. They're 5 and 8. They've both got iPods, iPad, iPhone, computer consoles. And they are GLUED to them 24\7.

And if you tell them their not allowed their devices as we're going out, they sulk for the WHOLE day, until they can finally run back through the front door and pick them up. That's all they've known since they were born, I believe they were given them to shut them up as babies.

He doesn't discipline them. He buys them everything and anything that they want. They don't play like children should do with toys or making things or Lego or anything you can imagine, they just sit like aliens.

Do you think I should end it? Obviously I can't tell him how to parent his own children. But I love him. I don't know whether I need to relax and just stick it out? Help

I may have made a mistake?

Sooo I'm originally from India and I've come to USA to visit my family and I was at my uncles house and he has two sons out of which one is very annoying. I was on my iPad and I needed a charger so I just had the need to whisper to my mom, " if I meet that god damn child outside I'm gonna be pissed" and as I was waking out of my room I saw my uncle carrying him and he was right oudside the door and I think he heard me
What do I do?

How to get messages sent to cellular data number on iPad?

My son has an iPad with data. I understand that it doesn't have a "phone number" but it does has a "cellular data number" that the person at the Sprint store told us about when we bought it. We have a few apps that require a phone number, and when we put this number in, it says that a message has been sent to this number. But how do I get this message? Where does it go? I was hoping an alert would pop up but nothing did. In the iPad settings it only lists the Apple ID under where I can receive messages from, not the number (and when I try to add the number, again it says they need to send a verification to the number that I can't access).
