my cousin alexis is so unrespectful. She has not been disciplined. If she were my child she would be in army classes with mean drill sergents. I was raised the same way. I may be still a mature 10 yr old but I don't mind life now. Alexis would not live a single day in boarding school. She is so self centered. Why do they do this? Why so much?

Sounds like you are a good cousin and a very mature 10 year old. She is at a stage in her life when she is really testing her boundaries to see what she can get away with - and with very little discipline she can get a little crazy. Also, at 4 and 5 all she really knows is the world revolves around her and so it is probably very easy for her to appear self centered.
You can really help her by leading by example. Show her the way kids can have fun and still be respectful.
When my son was 10 he read the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and used a few techniques he read about in that book on his little brother (my youngest). There is a part in the book where a fence needed to be painted and Tom Sawyer told his friends how much fun he was having painting the fence. So, after a very short time he had all of his friends painting the fence for him. My older son convinced our youngest that cleaning up after dinner was something only big kids got to do - so sure enough the 4 year old jumped in and did almost the entire job by himself because he wanted to be a big kid.
It is not your responsibility to teach your cousin how to behave but you could have fun seeing if you can persuade her into good behavior. Take it as a challenge.

no rely what breed this dogs is, you haven't any longer have been given any theory of his previous adventure. that for the period of itself is a huge warning call, whether that could be a Pittie or a Poodlette. It does sound as though he has some intense themes approximately being left on my own, and the destructive guy is terrified - i might suspect that he were in a team concern the place he develop into possibly in no way left on my own until now. Above and previous besides the fact that his previous history has been, he's of an age while canines start to mature and get hormones - and compete with others around them. whether he weren't a rescue dogs, and no rely what breed, he could *in no way* be left on my own with a 6 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous baby. EVER. whilst rescued canines may well be marvelous and candy, and Pitties could make large pets, any dogs that is anxious may well be an fairly risky dogs interior the incorrect concern. the certainty which you be attentive to there are questions is the very definition of questionable...as in iffy. Please have him neutered in the present day for his own protection, and then fairly particularly, i might touch an excellent bully breed rescue and ask for help rehoming him with an experienced adopter that does no longer have infants. there is not any longer something approximately this occasion that could make me think of it develop into an excellent theory, and that has no longer something to do along with his breed. Your first duty is on your baby, and that i see this as a bad element waiting to ensue. no longer in basic terms will a baby (or you) possibly be bitten, however the dogs will lose any risk he has at coming up right into a solid puppy. you have instincts for a reason - please, please hear to them.

If Alexis is as bad as you seem to think she is the reason is her mother created a little jerk of a kid.
Not all five- and six- year olds are "stuck up" and "annoying". You apparently only have Alexis as a frame of reference.
Also, though, at ten years old you aren't going to see Alexis as the little, very young, child she really is.

Children are children, they need attention from over 25 year olds.
This is what parents do to children after taking community classes in babysitting, first aid, cpr. How to take care of babies (girl scouts past 20?).
In basic high school class Psychology 1. Babies need attention to get food, change clothes, sponge bath. Mature Adults over 18 tend to give attention, instead of recieve it. Being exposed to more mature subjects like Red Cross, 2nd Harvest.

Some kids are just like that. I am trying right now with a 7 year old, almost 8 and he just likes to annoy me and it doesnt matter if he's in trouble, he still likes to be disrespectful and rude. He also argues like crazy! Im not sure why they do this I am still trying to get inside his head.

Kids act that way because their parents act that way....they model what they see at home and in the end it all comes down to parenting, if parents would parent their children instead of trying to be their best friend all the time, kids would act more respectful and less like jerks

Not all 5 and 6 yr. olds are like that. I have 3 children and none of them are disrespectful or rude. They are all very well behaved and polite. It's all in the upbringing.
