I try to reprimand him but its hard when I tell him no and walk away for a split second and my mother, father or sister lets him do something.
I'm so sorry for you!! That is totally unacceptable. How is he supposed to learn respect for his mother if they undermine your authority? Have you asked them how they would have felt if someone had done this to them while they were raising you? Consistency is a must for a child. It gives them a sense of safety to know where clearly established lines are. Plus if you can play one adult against another why behave? What does it matter how he acts if others undermine you and the consequences for his actions? I'm very sorry you are stuck in that tough of a situation. Do you think it would do any good to explain how their behavior is negatively impacting your relationship with your son?
