[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OKay, OP, I tried to follow what you're saying, and I think I understand so I'm going to try and give you some constructive advice.  Here goes.

Little Larla "Talk to the hand, and don't talk to me!!"
You:  "Larla, that's rude and disrespectful and I won't be talked to that way."

Little Larla "Can I have a drink?"
You:  "Sure"  walk to the kitchen "What would you like, I have milk, juice, wat..."
Larla:  "DON'T TALK TO ME"
You:  "Larla, that is rude and disrespectful.  I'm not getting you anything to drink until you're able to ask me nicely."

Larla:  "Suzie (your dd) get off the couch!!!"
You:  "Larla, that's not nice.  Suzie can sit on the couch if she wants to."  "Suzie, get back on the couch and sit here if you want.  I'll be next to you."

I don't understand why this is so hard for you to understand or do????? What am I missing?[/quote]

I'm not allowed to say those things. My sister would absolutely flip.[/quote]

Then avoid your sister. Problem solved!

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? "I'm not allowed to say those things"? Yes, you can say them. As long as you are not yelling and are remaining calm, those are perfectly acceptable things to say to a child in your home/in your presence to defend your child.

If your sister doesn't like it, she can leave.

If you're on your sister's turf and she doesn't like it, you can leave.

You need to grow up.[/quote]
