My nephew tried that 'your not aloud to hit us' shit at first, but I told him flat out that I don't give a shit about the rules so you'd better listen to me when living here. I have never lifted a finger towards him but because he knows i stand my ground hard he will not even try now. It took some work though, because my sister is a SERIOUS pushover so getting them to commit to things wasn't easy. They are getting there though.

Well good luck ;) I was too much of a pushover for them
Boy is almost 17 now and will graduate in Jan/12 6 months ahead of the normal
but that took 3 years of fighting him all the way lol making a kid do 2 hrs of homework 5 days a week without caving in lol
It can be done with out hitting them BUT god dam they can sure piss you off!
