that's easy to say man but if the mother isn't taking any kind of disciplinary role i feel that more than a little frustration is due. my family moved in with my in-laws last january and it boiled my blood that they would never discipline our daughter. she's only 4 so we're not too tight with her, but running around the house, throwing things and hitting people is behavior that warrants a time out at least. instead, they would let it continue unabated and eventually start screaming when it frustrated them enough. then whenever we stepped in to lay down the law she would find comfort in their indifference to our rules and we would literally be told to leave her alone. after 9 months it has really fucked with her behavior, but we're finally out and things are getting somewhat back to normal.

if possible, i would definitely recommend moving the fuck out
