My five yearold neice is so rude and spoiled. Her real dad isn't in the picture but she has a very nice step dad who loves her so much and Bayla is just so rude. Ryan's sister lives 6 hours away and yesterday she came down and stayed the night. I took Bayla outside onto the porch balcony and I asked her to get her jacket because it was cold. So what did she do she took her jacket and hit me with it. I became very cross with her and took her back inside, and told her mom and her mom did nothing!!!!!!!!

How old is she?

I don't think it's important enough to take her inside. Just say "Bayla, we don't hit.", and don't scream in her face, but say it in a tone clear enough that she knows you mean business. If she is continuously doing bad things, start giving strikes. When she hits 3 strikes, take away a plan you guys have made or something fun she was hoping to do. I know she's not your kid but however long she is with you she will follow your rules. It's good practice for you Natalia.

Good luck.

No I'd never hurt her or scream at her she's just so annoying. Bayla is allowed to miss kindergarden whenever she wants,she's so bratty. Anyway I have to make lunch and get out to the hospital.

She obvouisly is allowed to get away with anything, she should'nt be allowed to get away with hitting you and her mother is obvouisly not giving her the right punishments. And she should not be allowed to miss kindergarden. And for a 5 year old its disgraceful.

Sounds like she needs a good ole' fashion butt whippin!

Natalia, have you talked to her mom about your feelings today. Just tell her, that when they visit at your home, you expect better behavior, and ask her why she did not defend your stance, on her childs rudeness. Imagine your little ones being home, and she visited, you could just not trust her behavior around your babies. Tell her that, and make her sit and ponder the importance of respecting others - and tell her, her daughter may very well not be welcome at your home, especially when the twins come home. You do not need her negative Karma, in your space, and you had just expected more from your sister, the adult responsible for this child.

See, I would just tell her, and talk to her, like a sister would.
