[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a similar situation. I had no problem stepping up and discipling the nephew when the parents weren't around or failed to do so. If the situation isn't working for you or the kids, the first step can be to call out and correct any problematic behavior when you witness it. And make sure you're around.

If the ask about sleepovers and your kids don't want to, just say they're not up for that right now.

Things are much better with our nephew now, years later. It was a learning curve of mine learning to stand up for themselves and accept people outside of their pair and nephew learning what was acceptable behavior in our home and with his cousins. Now they're good friends and enjoy regular visits with each other.

They've got a lifetime ahead, many years to grow, learn, and adapt.[/quote]
This. I have no problem correcting if under my supervision.
Actually doing gives you a good way to start talking behavior with the parents.
‘Yep Barbie , kids had a fine time. Got a little tired of each other after while, but that happens. I had to put Larla in timeout for 15 min because she did x,y, z. 
She was back on track after that,.
See what what happens after.[/quote]
