This is getting in the way of the kids' relationship with their aunt, and it's also starting to strain my relationship with her. ADAD— MarylandMaryland: Consider letting her handle them the way she feels comfortable doing so? It happens all the time regardless of family proximity and parenting style: Home has X rules, grandpa’s house has Y, day care/school has Z and public places are all over the spectrum.

AD●I agree with Carolyn as long as Sis isn’t trying to discipline your kids in your home.
