LOL at some of the replies here....
My oldest three are preteens and teens now, and it doesn't get any easier, unfortunately. When I tell my kids no, they ask their grandparents, who then happily say yes (sometimes just to annoy me). My MIL goes out of her way to undermine a lot of what I do and say, particularly with my daughters. My daughters all play sports, so my MIL tells them that it is haraam and that they are bad muslims. I tell them not to eat something, so she feeds it to them. We have very different perspectives on raising children, and to be honest it is so much easier when she is not in my home. I now have three girls who are worried that they are turning black and a son who thinks that his sisters need to do more for him and tries to get out of doing his chores.
Just three more weeks to go!
