Aunt Alexandra thinks that Atticus isn't 'parental' enough with Jem and Scout.
He doesn't make them call him 'Dad' or 'Father', they call him 'Atticus.' He also doesn't make Scout wear dresses like a girl should (in Aunt Alexandra's opinion) because he knows she'll be hanging out with Jem, climbing trees, climbing fences, etc.
He talks to his children like he talks to other adults; he treats them as equals which Aunt Alexandra thinks is incorrect. In her world, adults treat children in an authoritarian manner (boss them around), they don't ask their opinion or explain things to them, they just issue orders.
Atticus is older than Aunt Alexandra. Atticus is the father of Scout and Jem, while Aunt Alexandra is Atticus's sister.

Atticus and Aunt Alexandra disagree about how to raise Scout. Aunt Alexandra believes in instilling traditional femininity and social status in Scout, while Atticus believes in teaching her to be independent and compassionate.

To get her out of the house
There are a few reasons why they butt heads- Aunt A. wants Scout to be a lady, Atticus wants to let her be a kid. Aunt A. wants to fire Calpurnia, Atticus insists she is part of the family. Aunt A. is a gossip, Atticus minds his own business
No. Atticus also had a brother, Jack. Alexandra and Jack are the only two siblings mentioned. :)
she is different
He was Aunt Alexandra's husband, and Alexandra was Atticus's sister.
Francis Hancock, son of Aunt Alexandra and Uncle Jimmy's son, Henry, so actually Francis is a second cousin, even though he's older than Scout.
