Talk to the parents. Tell them that if it continues then they have to move or you move...You have to remember that the kids are being kids...It is up to the parents to fix the problem.

You should work on behavioral skill modification & development.
The child needs to be asked repeatedly the same thing in a calm voice... "Is that helpful or hurtful?
Drive that into the 2 year old and sit them down in time out after each infraction. You should be at the point where you can see an incident about to happen... stop it before it happens.
Ask the question by using the child's name! Johnnie? Is that helpful or hurtful?
Johnnie? Is what you're about to do, helpful or hurtful?
It may drive you crazy but in a short time you will see positive results. You'll know you've been successful when the "Helpful or Hurtful" line is directed at YOU!

What you need to do is correct the child yourself in an intimidating tone, and say to him, do not hit, that is wrong and you do not do that... You may even, tell him to go sit down as a time out. Your roommates will either say something to you or not say anything at all, but take it like a message that you are not pleased with what their child is doing to yours and next time they will be more alert and involved as to how their child is misbehaving. If they do approach you, then you simply be honest, and tell them, you have to teach your child that he cannot be hitting mine... Part of showing maturity and get respect from others, is not to fear when something has to be said, do not think whether they will get mad or not, they will either respect you for it and simply get upset, either way, their lost, especially, when it comes to being a mother and defending your child... So do not take the bullshit and stand up...

The only way that the 2 year old is going to know that they are doing something wrong is if they recieve discipline. At 2 most children are just beging to learn about the pain of others. If that parent is diciplining the child it will never stop.

I would just explain to them that the children cannot be together unless theirs can learn a little manners. Explain to them that being a parent makes you protective of your kid, or of any kid for that matter. Its not the fact that its THEIR kid thats beating your kid up, (surely if their child were in your care and receiving such treatment you would defend it) but you have your child's well being to consider.
They should be willing to teach their child some restraint, since after all, its a skill it will need through out life.

Obviously spanking is not the answer, it just shows them that hitting is okay. If you're not able to move out, I'd start saving for it, until then if possible just keep them separated. I know it's not fair to your little one but 2 year olds tend to be territorial. It's a phase most of them go through.

Buy some discipline books or print up some articles on discipline and leave them out. It could be a phase. Talk to the parents. If they're not willing to teach their child right from wrong, ask them to move, or move yourself. Maybe you could start to "teach" your child discipline and ask if they could do the same for theirs to help you teach by example. Good luck!

First let talk to your roommate and let them know that this is a real problem for you because they may not be taking it serious if they don't think or know that you're taking it serious. Next if you can't afford to move out or kick them out then go on Judge Judy! I'm sure she'd rule in your favor!

If the child's parent wont deal with it then give them 30 days notice to get out.

Either kick them out if you are paying the rent, or move yourself if you are not.
Your kid does not need that, and it will cost you much more later if you allow it to keep up.
