I'll start this out by saying that I have no kids but I have other brothers with kids as well and get along fine with them. I even watch their kids and plan fun activities and take them to the movies, etc.
But my one brother has two kids that (in my opinion) are completely out of control. His 10 year-old son is just constantly kicking and punching at me, and not for play, he's trying to hurt me. The other day he literally came up to me when I was sitting on a couch and started kicking me as hard as he could right in my stomach. His father was sitting right beside me and never even said a word. I asked him if he thought I liked that and he said "I don't care" and then I politely asked him to stop (he did it two more times and then stopped). His thing is that there is NO WAY he will ever listed to anybody, if he is asked to stop doing something he just keeps doing it for spite. At one point my father (his grandfather) just started yelling at him to sit down and be quiet because he was running around in circles making a bunch of noise while he was watching a football game. Again, his father was right there and never said a word. In the rare times his father (or anybody else) he tells them that he hates them. I mean, if he doesn't get his way 24/7 he completely loses his shit.
Another time I was at a party and he started taking down the balloons and jumping on them to make noise. His father said "Please stop doing that" and he immediately grabbed another balloon, walked over to his father, put it on the ground and jumped on it just to prove that his father can't tell him what to do. There was never any punishment. Later on he took a ball and fired it at his cousin's nuts from point blank range and hit him square which really hurt him. When my other brother told his father what he did to his son his response was "Yeah, so?".
They also have a daughter that is pretty much the same way but without the violence. She completely ignores anything you tell her and if you are the least bit forceful she becomes indignant.
At this point, I am completely fed up and can't take it anymore. I don't want this kid kicking and punching me (not that it hurts but it is fucking annoying). When I said something to his father he said "He's playing, that's what kids do". Maybe he thinks this way because he was the same way as a kid, a sneaky little bastard who always took a cheap shot. The difference was that when we were kids I'd beat his ass.
Most of the time I just stay away from them but with the holidays looming I'm going to be subject to this idiocy again. Any tips on how to handle this? I know I'll get some comedic replies and some serious suggestions and I'm looking forward to both.
