It annoys me so much. What do I tell his mother so that this kid (2 years old) learns some manner? I just hate it when he cries as if someone is killing him He cries so loud and so wild that neighbors check on us to see if we are abusing him.. Gawd..

A little loud that the neighbors are coming. But normal. My nephew will do this.
What I do is after she leaves. I will let him cry a few minutes while I am putting in a tape. Either Dora the explorer or Blue's Clues. I pick him up cuddle a little on the couch so he can get interested in his movie and he is fine.
I would advise this method. I know you most likely don't want to watch kiddie shows but it works great.

O.k , first is the child a boy or girl. Second, of all. Whether you want to believe it or not, this is actually normal in most cases. If this annoys you so bad I would suggest you not hang around as much. Because the child is going through seperation anxiety. I am very positive you went through it. Because all kids do. Right now this has nothing to do with MANNERS. Third, so what if ppl check to see whats going on they're just nosey and its none of their business. So my advice to you. If you cant handle it. Dont ever become a mother, cause i guarantee your kids will do it to. Grow up then come back and ask an adult question.

The niece sounds like she is going through what they call : "Seperation Anxiety" Before her mom leaves for work bring out some of her favorite toys to play with or turn on her favorite tv show so she will be distracted by her favorite thing to do instead of focusing on the mom leaving for work. Kids get anxious when people they are attached to often leave their sight because they don't understand at this stage that the leaving is temporary! Don't worry what the neighbors think and just take a few deep breaths and count to ten!

My son does the same thing and he stays with my mom. The little one is going through a phase where they are attached to the mom, but still want to be independent. My mom and I get around this by popping in a video of his choosing before I leave. When I leave, I tell him that I am going to work and that I will be back to get him. Some mornings, before he is settled, he is pushing me to the door saying Mommy go to work.
It is a phase that even the most independent child will go through. It might help if the mom can call during the day to speak to your neice. It is not a lack of manners on the part of the child, it is a growth stage. Try having a coloring activity waiting for the child when she arrives. This will catch her interest and hold her interest long enough for mom to head out. It will ease your suffering from hearing her cry.

Yeah we also have that problem, people walking back and forth on our nature strip to make sure we're not harming him. The child may have seperation anxiety, has the mother spent much time away from the baby? Or could the baby be upset because somethings happened when mum was at work? The child may calm down once you distract her from the fact her mother is going.

A niece is a little girl. A nephew is a little boy. Very normal to cry when mommy leaves. Try to be soothing and to distract him with something he really likes: fun TV show (2 year old appropriate), toy, snack, sing a song, do something funny.
By the tone of your question I imagine he/she is picking up on your negative vibe.

Tell his mom to reasure him she coming back and to do a quick dropoff. Then, right when she leaves distract him with something. A toy, pet, breakfast, etc... That way he can take his mind off of his mom in a good way. If he does well with that and doesn't throw much of a fit reward him with something and tell him why he deserves the reward.

Tell the kid to take a nap when his mother is leaving. Then let his mom leave. When he wakes up tell him his mom is at the store.
And Btw, dont use that attitude in asking a question.
It makes less people answer.
kay?

Distract him with a project before she leaves, and then make sure her leaving is brief and to the point. Then keep him busy with the thing he was working on before she left. It's a phase. It'll pass.
