Two real spies are sent in. Their mission is to Hijack a soviet Missile launcher, launch the Soviet missile and test the new US orbital defence laser.

The contingency plan for this scenario, as set out by the Pentagon Nuts who planned it from deep within a secret underground bunker, is to let the 3rd World War happen anyway. |

Why is my family acting this way? How do I respond without making the situation worse?
I’m 25, married and have a 10 month old daughter. My daughter and I frequently visit my Mom and Dad. Usually while we’re there my sister will show up with my 6 year old nephew. My nephew is constantly misbehaving. He doesn’t mind me or anyone else. There have been several occasions when I have tried to be stern with him and I end up getting yelled at (right in front of him) by my sister. The other day we were over there and my daughter (who is pulling herself up to standing, but cannot walk or stand without holding on to something) stood up beside him at the couch. She was holding on, but he kept pushing her and wedging between her and the couch so that she couldn’t hold on. I told him three times not to do it, and even explained to him that she needed to hold onto the couch or she would fall. Sure enough she fell, and landed "too close for comfort" at the leg of the coffee table (which has two upturned metal hooks for feet!!!). I grabbed her and tried to explain that that was why he couldn’t do that and he started screaming at me, "it’s not my fault! I didn’t do anything!" So I calmly, but firmly told him not to yell at me. The whole time this was going on, my sister was parked in the kitchen all the way across the house looking at a magazine. When i told him that, she called my name out sternly (as if I had done something wrong). I ended up leaving…
If this was the first time this had happened it would be one thing, but he’s all the time putting my daughter in danger by not listening to me. As a matter of fact, if I ask him not to do something he does it anyways. He’s not my child to punish, I know that…but his mother evidently doesn’t care what he does. She’s told me on several times that he was her kid and she would raise him how she saw fit. This was right in front of my dad, and he didn’t say anything at all about it. He just pretended like it never happened
Basically this means that I can’t have my daughter around him because he has absolutely no respect for me. He told me that I’m mean to him…"ever since the baby came along." He and my sister live right beside my parents and are over at their house ALL the time. It’s almost like they spy on them and if we go over their they can’t stand to let us have a visit. They always end up showing up.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to stop going to my parent’s house because my daughter’s safety is an issue. I’ve tried to talk to my mom about this and all I got was, "You girls should be ashamed of how you act toward each other!" Well I fail to see what I ever did to her. I’ve never been anything but nice to her, and my behavior has never changed toward her son. Anytime he was acting up I always have tried to correct him. This whole issue has cropped up ever since my daughter was born. What’s worse is that my own mother seems to side with her.
WOW! I never understand these situations, when a bad child is allowed to create chaos. It baffles me.
You are NOT wrong to reprimand him, even if he isn’t your son. You owe it to your daughter. But since everyone is being an a$$, tell your parents you will visit when your sister is not present. Tell them all that your visits will be separate from now on, and you’ll be glad to make a schedule with her so long as she can show enough respect to keep to it.
That’s about all you can do. Or tell your parents they can visit you in your own home, where you have control.

My cousin is about 1 month youger than my twin boys and I can hardley stand to be around him. Thank goodness they live thousands of miles away.
However, you need to go over with out your daughter and try and make sure your sister has other plans. Talk to your Mom and Dad if possible. Tell them that your nephew is out of control and while you love him And your sister, but you just don’t feel as if your daghter is safe around him.
Let her know that you cannot keep coming over with the chance that your nephew is going to hurt your daughter. But invite her to come over often to your house.
