Maybe the children don't seek power, so much as seeking their parents' approval. Perhaps they're just doing what they're expected to do.
Then they behave AS EXPECTED with the relatives, doing as the relatives do, when seperated from their usual environment, ie, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"
If they're taught to approach food in a particular way, if that's what is expected in their family, they will try their best to fulfill their household's mealtime itinerary. See? The kids are just trying to grow up, doing what they need to do, to survive, because we humans are just like any other animal in that way: we learn how to be, who we are, what we do from our home environment. Your story of two families illustrates that very well!
