I agree with Craftwave. You could get her to watch show like the Super Nanny show, and get books or any material that will show her how important discipline is. Saying "well, they are just kids, let them have it, or let them do it, or it is not big deal" those comments and ways of thinking does not provide children with guidance so they can make it in the real world. That is what your job is as a parent, prepare your children to become adults and live in the world independently. If there is no discipline, then you aren't being fair to your children. The real world doesn't accept or reward bad behavior. Wait until they get in grade school, and teachers and other parents start telling her how they behave. I bet she wouldn't want to hear that they have behavior issues. No one will invite them to parties or to their houses if they have no idea how to behave. Being 2 years old doesn't entitle you to get your way and act up. They need to know what boundaries are at all ages.

I feel sorry for the children because she is not doing them any favors by not discipling them. She needs to find out that kids love structure and that they do better knowing what the boundaries are. They feel safer that way. True they will test them from time to time to see if you still mean what you say. The question is whether she loves them enough to tell them no. Not disciplining your children is only telling them that you don't care what happens to them. Have you ever watched the Super Nanny or some such show. There are also good books out there if you can get her to read one of them.
