She's 8. The only reason I'm asking is because I live with them. Her mother babys her like I've never seen, and I kid you not, she just learned how to tie her own shoes this summer when he taught her because all she had to do was cry to get her way with her mother.
She cried over dinner tonight because she said her chicken was dry and then got mad when no one would make her anything else she kicked her brother, so he picked back on her and she started screaming at the top of her lungs until she was red in the face. (she can dish it out but can't handle anything from any1 about anything)
I'm not trying to take over her parenting or the childs disipline, but she doesn't have any sisters and I was just wondering if there's anything I could do to be a better example since im there now. (i'm an only child..)
Her mother has done a fine job in raising 3 boys I'm just concerned that since she's adopted and the only girl she's turning into a baby that gets away with murder

the other day she cried because she got a haircut and someone at school told her it was nice and they liked it better the old way. she came home sick and early from school (her mom went and got her) in tears and told us and told her teacher that people were "being mean to her" she takes everything to heart and so seriously and cries over everything. Is this normal? I don't really remember being so emotional.
She was adopted when she was a month old and I know her adoption wasn't life changing or traumatic. I do know that she has no idea she was adopted.

shes being rude just because she can get away with it and when mom sees this she will realize this is not good. if she don't stop the crying and whining then she'll have a mess for live. if youput her in time out in a corner every time she cries for instance it hsould help her out. she will turn out very badly if continued like this you cannot let this girl run things and doing this against teachers and adults is not good.

She is only 8, and not your problem, regardless of you living there. All you can do is lead by example.
