How to deal with a family members child?
Ok, here's the situation. My youngest (21) sister and her 3 year old son have decided to move in with me. He's a good kid most of the time but occasionally needs some ... guidance.
Now, my dilema is this: What am I to do if I don't agree with the punishment dealt out by my sister, who is often too forgiving or ignores it altogether? This is not my child but this is my house, in which they are living rent-free.
Is it my place to punish the child? Am I allowed to raise my voice to this child? Like I said, he is remarkably well behaved in spite of his upbringing thus far.
My wife and I have no children so this is new to us. Sure we babysit on occasion, but this is a full time thing.
Hopefully I put this in the right catagory.
