[quote=Anonymous]It's bothering you more than the kids and probably always will.  It's just one of those "relations with family members" things that you have to deal with.

Just keep handling it like you have been, and maybe try to explain some of your expectations a little more to her.  I'm sure she feels stressed having four kids running around when she isn't used to it and is assuming you do, too, so it trying to help (thinking maybe that you don't realize your little kid is doing X because you're talking to your older kid who is doing Y, even if you already know how to handle this already).

The fact that you haven't told her your kid has Asperger's suggests to me that there are some issues between you and your sister that go beyond this.  It seems like you're afraid to tell her something because you think she's going to either judge you for it, tell you what to do, or assume she knows best.  Maybe that's her personality, but it probably is also some of your own insecurities about your relationship with her.  If she is a teacher, I actually think she probably knows way more about Asperger's than most people and could actually be a big help and support.  I would investigate your feelings about this and why you aren't telling her.[/quote]
