Sis has 2 girls, 2yrs and 3yrs (both huge). The 2yr when she comes over lays claim on all Vietbabe's toys -- these are "mine" (and won't even share them) while Sis does nothing about it.

I don't say anything b/c Vietbabe doesn't seem to care. But lately she has been pushing Vietbabe against walls, and twice sucker punched her out of the blue. Sis just says, "see what it's like with a problem child?" (Um...yes, I do see it actually). Vietbabe is tough and cries briefly and gets right back up. Mom is annoyed that Sis does nothing about it (not even, "don't hit Vietbabe"). She did it again today when Sis wasn't there and I thought my Mom was going to go ballistic (physically) on the bully. I'm concerned b/c I think my parents get upset seeing this teeny baby getting clocked and they are very close to smacking the 2 year old (not calculated - just an upset immediate reaction to seeing Vietbabe fly across the room).

I don't know what to say to Sis. I actually feel bad she is dealing with this kid whereas Vietbabe (for now) is so incredibly easy (ah..13 months...heaven). Any advice on what to do? I'm not the conflict type so don't want to alienate my Sis (or tell her how to parent) and I don't want to stop having visits with the kids. But I know blood may drawn one day if nothing changes.

Thanks.
