My daughter loves going to stay with her aunt but she gets so spoiled there as she does everywhere she goes to stay. But sometimes when she comes home she just won't listen and decides she can back talk and be mouthy when she gets home. I credit this to the fact that her aunt has 3 older children that are not always respectiful to there mom. But how do you deal with it when you child gets home? I don't want to take her way from being able to go over there but I also don't want her thinking she should be acting that way. She is only 3 so I know she understands what she is doing. I am just not sure what to do to correct it. So how do you deal short of not letting your child go there.

I agree a little swat does not kill a kid and my children do get one every once in a while.

My kids use to give me attitude after being at their dads for visits and I put a stop to it right quick by putting them in their place..Letting them know that "I will NOT be spoken to that way by ANYONE" or whatever the case may be (how they spoke to me, treated me, behaved in general etcetc) and by letting them know that I have rules and in MY HOUSE they are to follow MY RULES etc etc..what goes on at their dads is his biz but at home I'll have nothing less than what i expect of them and so on...they learned REALLY QUICK to not try and pull that crap on me anymore...
If I were you I'd just put my foot down with her and stand strong in what you say...Let her know that its unacceptable and you will NOT tolerate it and if she doesnt smarten up she simply wont be going to her aunts anymore..

I have tried that with her. and it does seem to help. She is not bad if it is just one night and i think that is what I am going to have to stick to and tell her she can't stay there for the weekend anymore. It is when she is gone for the weekend that she decides that she does not have to listen at home. The fit she had yesterday only lasted for about 10 min then we sat down and had a talk and the rest of the night was good. It is an on going process that will take time and standing strong is the key. Thanks for responding
