yesterday me and my mother and my brothers wife were sitting in the living room yesterday holding my newborn niece , my brother's wife's mother and little sister were visiting and they wanted to go shopping my brothers wife's younger brother was going to drive them shopping my 3 yr old niece, 6 yr old nephew and my brother's wife little sister who is 7 were playing in the front of the house my brother's wife's mother and my dad were sitting outside watching them my 3 yr old niece saw her uncle in front of his car and she ran up to him in the street and a car was coming her mother was watching from the window and was very upset and she yelled at me to call my 3 yr old niece inside and i was really upset because i didnt like the way she yelled at me. when my niece finally came inside the house her mother yelled at her about running in the street and my niece started to cry.

i felt like she was yelling at me like if she was my mother or my boss and i know she was upset at her child for running in the street unattended but i felt that she had no right to yell at me like a child

my 3 yr old niece is very disobedient she talks back to the mother she doesnt listen to anyone when they talk to her she does things her way sometimes she presses herself down on her newborn sister when she tries to kiss and we keep telling her not to do that to be gentle and she still does it and i feel like her mother had no right to talk to me like that when she cant even control her own children and when i told my parents they were upset at me and they said i always like to cause trouble and that im overreacting i didnt tell my niece to run into the street what do you think of this situation ? do you think i was being too sensitive do you think her parents don't know how to control my niece and nephew has anyone ever been in a situation like the one im in with a brother, sister, friend, or relative who has a child

  1. She needs spanked.


  2. hmm...

    ok, I think I understand. You were yelled at by the girl's mom, because her daughter ran out into the street?

    At 3, a child should understand not to do that. Mom should teach her.

    Were you supposed to be in charge of watching the kids for something? That is the only possible reason I can think for you being yelled at. If you were, in fact, in charge of keeping track of the kids, then you deserved to be yelled at.

    If you were not in charge of the kids, then she probably yelled at you because you were closest to the door, or have a louder voice, or could get to it faster. Moms freak out when they feel their child is in danger. Anyone near is at risk.

    Let is go, she most likely did not mean anything against you.

    And... I agree, the child needs to be disciplined a little, and this won't happen anymore.

  3. If your niece doesn't get enough positive attention, she will want negative. Make sure to give her attention, ask to do a drawing or some other activity together. If she likes you and you act disapointed in her, she will stop eventually. If she likes negative attention, instead of going on and on about what she's done, you should simply tell her not to do that, give her a small talk, and give her her punishment. If she does get alot of negative attention for things she does, she may do them again just to spend time with you. No matter how bad she is being, remind her you love her at night, and when she is good, keep doing activities with her. She will soon understand that the attention she gets for being good is better then for bad.              Hope I helped! :)
