Probably the best thing you can do is just walk out of the room. (Assuming this is a 2-4 year old?) I hope this isn't actually happening in your room. If it is, pick him up and put him out of your room and close the door. Ignoring a bad behavior can often extinguish it much more quickly than yelling or spanking or whatever. Also, talk to his mother about the behavior that bothers you when you are both calm. Try to work together to find a way to curb the tantruming.

even though you are siblings my kids go through this often..you oldest is 13 and our youngest is 1....they often try to discipline one another....i dont know how much older you are then him.....but i can see how your aunt would get made at you for disciplining her child.....you really dont have the right to..and i know that it could get a little stressful when the child has tantrums and that's all they are tantrums its a phase kids go through some grow out of it others take longer....but when you feel like you can't take the way he is acting anymore talk a walk...just get away from him......talk it over with your aunt let her know how your feeling and why you feel you should punish him yourself..maybe you two can work out something ....

Leave the room. Let your mom know that you are going out and that you will be back in an hour or so, depending on the time, or go to your room and close the door and do something you want to do. Good Luck.

Gently explain to your cousin's mom that her child's conduct is unacceptable and needs to change, and that as a mom it is her job to discipline her child and not to get mad at you for giving him a time out if won't she won't or isn't there at that time. You shouldn't have to tolerate your cousin's bad behavior.
