three year old roommate...

My boyfiends niece who is three years old has absolutely no discipline . She is constantly kicking and screaming. When she acts bad, no one really says anything to her. When she knows shes being bad she just goes up to them and gives them a kiss or a hug and its all forgotten. Well just a little bit ago i raised my voice at her and i got yelled at by my boyfriend. Him being sarcastic said i was going to be a great mom... I dont knoW what to do. I refuse to let her kick me hit me and her get no punishment for it. My child would definitely not be allowed to act like this.

I'm such a smart *** I'd probably just start hitting people and say oh I thought it was okay and acceptable and then give them a hug then do it all over again a few minutes later
I hope they have fun with her hitting when she turns 8 years old and can really pack a punch
You can sit back watch and laugh your *** off
Tell your boyfriend you don't want that child around your baby if they cant teach her to stop hitting

Stand your ground because that's ridiculous.  Also explain to her why we don't hit and kick people.maybe offer a different activity to do like play dolls or something

Well, whether he wants to get mad or not, he needs to hear it, as well as her parents. Not only is it unhealthy for you and baby, it's equally bad for her as well to be taught she can do whatever she wants. This is the age when children need set in stone discipline to begin to shape who they will be in the future, and as you can imagine, that behavior being allowed is only doing her harm, no matter how nice of parents they think they're being. They might not want to hear it, but they most definitely need to. I'd say it's time to sit them down, and have a discussion. Congrats on being pregnant, and I hope things sartt to look up for you, and the little girl as well. :)

She's old enough to be put on timeout
She will learn not to hit very quickly 3 minutes on timeout is all she needs
make her apologize when she's done and tell her you love her
It's not necessary to yell at her it's not her fault that she's acting this way its her parents fault
I suggest that you make a time out spot for her
Explain to her parents that she can't continue hitting
Because when your baby comes she's going to hit the baby they shouldn't let their daughter go around acting like a nomad

Don't worry about making him mad, its your kids life on the line, beside your pregnant yoi have a right to be emotional & make people mad. Put your foot down, let him know you have a say too. I'm going throw the same thing right now, but i wont let my kid be a spoiled brat with no discipline. People have a rude awakening if they think anyone else but me is going to raise my child how they feel its best. Goodluck

Tell you boy friend if he wants to be apart of your baby's life he's going to need to learn how to discipline kids because you don't want your boy or girl in jail by 16...

It's definitely going to be tough because obviously your boyfriend doesn't believe in discipline & your child will need it consistently from both parents for it to work. Maybe you can look into going to free parenting classes because he'll probably listen more to someone else than you. As far as that child, the family is going to be sorry for letting her act that way. You make her know in your own way that you will NOT tolerate the things they do & that she will not touch you. I won't say what to do but trust me they'd wonder why she avoids me ;)

I agree with you , you need to tell him " if he doesn't like how your handling the situation then he needs to do something about it " its not healthy for you or the baby.But I wish the best with your pregnancy and the situation.. Lol

I have friends like that and when their kids do dumb stuff I just ignore it until it affects me then when they do something such as kick or smack me I put the fear of God in them lol. I do everything behind their parents back so when the kid comes around me they act like perfect angels. I say stuff like I don't care what everyone else puts up with I'm not putting up with your crap. I do it to my own nephews and they love me more for it. And when your boyfriend says stuff like that let him know you don't care how other children are raised but your child won't be anything like her. And when she hits your belly over react like crazy act like it hurt like hell and leave the scene and mope everyone will feel bad even if it didn't hurt the next time she doesn't it might. It'll just prevent further hitting from her.
