ree-Xi, do you think that your sister allows her children to be rude to you simply because you're family? I know several people who think there's an obvious divide between what's appropriate for family and what's appropriate for non-family; unfortunately, the divide results in the family always getting dumped on. Personally, I think it's sad to treat non-family better than family, but hey, it seems to work for some people. I suspect your sister is one of those people. If I were in your shoes, I'd have a heart-to-heart with Sissy.
