What would u do?

Question

If you had a niece/nephew that got everthing that they wanted, and once they got it they acted like a little brat towards there parents?

Answer 1

Have you tried pointing it out to the parnets?? If not try that first and then if it were me i would let that little kid know that there are many of children in this world that get nothing and tell him/her how ungratful they are...
I had to do this once... And not that they listened the next day but they sure did when i sat them down and told them how they looked threw others eyes.

Answer 2

I have one and there's not much you can do. Actually to make matters worse my nephew is an only child and then when he plays with my kids he won't even share his toys.

About the only thing that you can do is not let your siblings children treat you that way. Perhaps if the parents see you getting the respect you deserve from the child that they are buying things for, they will understand that kids need discipline and boundaries and that that's what earns their respect, not giving them everything they want.

Answer 3

There's really nothing you can do other than bring it to the parents attention. My sister is like that for her oldest child (but not the other3) and he gets away with murder. It's to the point that I don't allow him in my house. Unless it causes a problem with my kids I just ignore it. Well, not exactly.
I tell my kids (with my nephew and sister right there) that the way he acts or things he says are bad and that if they ever did it, I'd beat their butts. Pisses my sis and her kid off, but oh well!! She'll be the one to bail him out of jail when he gets older not me.

Answer 4

As the children's aunt/uncle, I believe you have a right to voice your opinion to the child's parents. Whether they decide to listen to what you say is a different story. They may not be aware of the possible problems that their children's behavior is or may be causing. A little word of caution however, be very gentle when talking to a parent about their child's negative actions. Parents tend to get angry at other people easily when someone says anything -except for praising- about their children.

Answer 5

It's a big mistake to give children everything they want. What happens when they're teenagers and they want a hot car, that gets them killed? Who is giving them everything? Mom and Dad? Maybe have a talk with them, explain that you are worried about them, they can't BUY the kids' love and respect. Most kids just want affection, parents' time, and attention. And though often they deny it, they DO want structure. You get from children exactly what you expect of them. Give them the guidelines. If that fails, call Nanny 911!

Answer 6

you are spoiling the kids and the parents and everybody needs to set limits or the kids are going to become uncontrollable. It is going to cause big problems now and in the future. just cause they can get everything they shouldn't. I know every parents wants to provide the best for their kids but don't ruin their lives by being easy. they should be punished for their behavior and control them enough, let them know not everything they do is acceptable. they are not the grownup but the kids. they should listen and respect their parents and elderly.

Answer 7

I don't know that there's anything you can do about it. However the parents can do plenty including taking away what they just gave their child and explain why.
Have you tried talking to your niece's parents about it?

Answer 8

The parents need to be spanked more than the kid does. They will have a wonderfully self centered, immature, greedy, selfish little monster when he grows up.

Answer 9

Feel sorry for them and their parents and try my best not to worry about it. Nothing I know of that you could do to affect either their behavior or the parents response

Answer 10

If the parents are taking the abuse, why bother doing anything? They obviously have no respect for their parents. It only gets worse...
