other peoples kids....:/

Has anyone else been put off when seeing other people's kids? I mean the way they behave. One of my close relatives has a 5year old daughter and a 9mo son. And every time I go to her house I just... Cringe! I could not stand having a life like that. Her daughter is so disrespectful, not only to her but to everyone. And as I am just her aunty I cannot punish her. She is just so rude and spoilt. And has no sympathy for anything or anyone.

I worked in a daycare centre for 2 years. And am now a primary school teacher. Both of these jobs give me a level of authority over the kids. But its the parenting styles! When the kids are at home.
It makes me think twice about how I will raise my son. You only get to do it once!

Children are not born naughty or bad. Everyday of their lives they are learning and taking their ques from their enviroment. Ot is not really fair to place all the blame on a child. Parenting is hard, we will all make many mistakes along the way. when a child is born, so is a parent, it is all new. However the problems with the little ones stem from their upbringing. Sometimes as a parent you need a little support and someone to remind us. However to blame the little ones as terrors is not right, they might be right nightmares, but they are that way due to parenting xx

Omg. Yes. My sisters 2 year old is the worst. My sister lets her do whateeeeeever. She can eat chips for breakfast. Chips for lunch. And chips for dinner.

She will let her be in a soiled diaper ALL day.

And when she doesn't get her way she throws fits and cries for hours and it's quite annoying.

My aunt has 2 children they're almost perfect children when she or her husband (their father) aren't around they behave, listen n eat their food... I've been staying with them since the beginning of the year basically.. so I do a lot of baby sitting for her...

One is 6 yrs she believes her self to be a princess, the other 9 yrs he thinks he's number one... ok well when my aunts around they call her stupid idiot moron etc,

For an example I'll tell them not to do something like eat a flippen jar of frosting I'll say if your hungry eat a sand which or an apple basically anything but that.. next thing I know my aunt will come around they will look at me smirk and tell her they're going to eat it at first she says no then they cry or scream for a second n instantly eat it any ways...

They scream for hours when they don't get their way even hit there parents scream that they hate their parents that they wished they lived some where else even tho these kids get anything they want... literally everything! They tell my aunt n uncle what to do n get away with it..

Like I've never seen such disrespectful children in my life! Everyone tells my aunt she needs to put punishment in her life..

Then on top of it I understand that every once in awhile young children will have accidents but my little cousin mind you she's 6 has been potty trained since she was 2 almost 3... she used to pee her pants multiple times a day... n lie to everyone when we asked her if she went peein her pants now she literally poops her self n just roams in it... DONT get me wrong it is NOT child neglect... she likes it she doesn't think its gross at all, she just doesn't like when people find out its ridicoulus! Then my other cousin being 9 he freaks out bout everything has almost attacked me but instead had a mental break down over hot pockets I bought for myself becuz I had a craving for it... my aunt just says he's OCD about certain foods like cereal hot pockets certain chips everything I swear he loves to have my aunt sit me down n lecture me and say I intentionally hurt his feelings, by calling him names or eating his food or some BS like that which I don't do he is a little boy I eat what I buy..

Sorry I started ranting.. but seriously some people need help with parenting... its saddening.. who knows I might be like that with my child to other people but I hope I'm never like that

I cannot believe some of the parents today either. I know a "mom" who  will sit there and ignore her 3 year old while she has company. This little girl will be bouncing off furniture and screaming and she will just ignore it and talk louder. One time she fell off the couch and started crying and "mom" told her to shut the F up. I was appalled. Needless to say I do not spend time around her anymore.
I just dont understand how some of these parents can take their kids into public the way they act! Screaming and running around like animals. I would be ashamed of myself as a parent if my son ever acted like that.

I argue everyday with my youngest niece, she has even tried to swing at my stomach numerous times right in front of my sister and she didn't say a word to her at this point I'm not leaving her alone with my son and when she wants to hold him she will seat down just the way we were told when she was a baby.
