[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only discipline my kids as I think it's disrespectful to do that to another child, especially when their parents are right there. 
I realize things will naturally get better as they get older, but in the meantime I'm dealing with the fallout from the situation (my kids get hurt, scared, or start acting like them).  
I'm also an older mom (40s) and I'm just not as patient with "disrespect" as younger moms seem to be...so their disregard for authority bothers me the most I think.

You're showing your kids that you won't advocate for them when they're hurt or scared by their cousins.  Talk to your sibling about how to deal with the behavior, and let them know that you'll step in if there is a safety issue with one of your children, and you should also feel free, if your nephews sass you, to set clear guidelines about what is/is not appropriate when they communicate with you.  Don't teach your kids that they have to just suck up behavior that hurts them or isn't respectful of them.[/quote]
