My nephew is three. He's started to attack my 1 year old ds and other children. He's turned really nasty with other kids (but is super sweet one on one). I love dnephew to bits but I'm scared he'll really my ds or another child.

I know nephew's behaviour is for his parents to deal with. I know this. BUT yesterday he pushed another child down some stairs and the pushed over my ds who's just started walking.

My dh says I have to say something to my dsis (nephew's mum), but she's my big sister and I don't really know how to iyswim?

What can I say without sounding like an overprotective helicopter mum (been accused of that from dsis as ds has a lot of allergies so I have to watch him like a hawk) or like I'm interfering with her parenting?

We will all get together again on boxing day for ab Xmas celebration at my mum's house. I know dnephew will be a pain then because of the excitement but I really don't want a huge family row. I'm actually considering calling off on it but that would upset my mum.

Rock and hard place for me!!!
