You need to discuss with them that its your kids your rules! You really should get your own space, I have lived with extended family before and know how you feel. It is no good for the kids to have so much conflicting discipline to deal with, it ends in tantrums from morning to night. Do your kids a favour and get your own place.

Having your own 4 walls is the best solution. Mum will also see herself as the boss of the house and expect things to be done her way. Sis will always be a rival. This can only be toned down by having your own crib.

Talk to your kids and get them on side with you. Tell them that grandma and auntie have different ideas, but you are their mother and when you say something different then they need to listen to you. Sometimes when gran and auntie are looking after them then what they say is fine, but no-one loves them as much as you and you are the most important person to listen to when you are there.

If it's the case that you all live together you need to sit down and decide to only parent your own children and grandma needs back off too or even better just get the hell outta there. That would drive me mad, you poor thing!
