A couple weeks ago, dcb was throwing a tantrum and was hitting his mom in the face and pulling her hair. She literally just laughed and did nothing.
I was speechless. I know it can be awkward to discipline your child in front of somebody, but come on. 
I think if the kid is doing that, they're not disciplining them anywhere. I've had kids do that and I tell them, it's not nice to hit your mom. Not in my house.
