Ahhhh so I don't want to sound terrible. But I probably will.
How do I deal with my niece and nephews behaviour. They are a few years older than my child and I'm often not happy with the way they behave with my child.
The way their speak to their Mum is awful. I hate it. They are quite often awful to each other and will wallop nine bells out of each other. I'm a sibling, so I'm not unused to this behaviour, but I think it's perhaps worse than the usual sibling behaviour. And my child is not used to such behaviour.
Their behaviour seems to get worse, and though we've always spent lots of time together, going in trips etc, I've become concerned about how they speak to and behave with my child. And I'm not always very happy with how rude they are to me as well. I don't want to overstretch my position but feel inclined to step in when i think they go too far where my child is concerned. They do not tend to listen to anything I say anyway.
How can I deal with their behaviour without overstepping my position. I struggle to standby and let them speak to people the way they do.
