NOT MY CHILD. But she lives with me, I take care of her and basically raise her. She's my niece, 7 years old.
Her mom (my sister) does not live with us but comes over often to see her daughter and take her out and buy/pay for school, etc... Her and her husband are divorce and have other people in their life now.
One morning I go downstairs and my sister tells me her daughter just said she hates her mom and she likes her step-mom better. So of course my sister gets very upset.
I want to know should I:
1. Talk to her and tell her what she said was mean and wrong and disrespectful. & no punishment.
2. Talk to her, punish her with no TV for a week.
3. Say a little something about it and let it go.
Ignoring it is not an option. I understand her mom is obviously not there for her and my neice probably feels a bit of resentment against that, but her mother does visit, call and take care of her financially. whether or not a good or bad mother, she is nonetheless her mother
