Are my sister's children perfect?

Question

My sister has five children(one is married) the other four at home
they range from ages 12, 9, 3 and 7 months.
Whenever I see them they are always quiet and they get on with each other. I think they are perfect.
could they really be this well-behaved or do you think they would have fights and disagreements at home?
Is it a front?

Answer 1

No, they just know how to behave in front of company. No kid is perfect...don't worry

Answer 2

They have their moments.

Keep in mind, though, with that far an age range on them, they probably fight less than many other siblings who are closer in age do. There would just be less to fight about, because what the 3 year old does might be annoying or frustrating to the twelve-year-old, but I wouldn't imagine the 12-yr-old would really try to get in an argument with a baby.

There is also something about big families that kind of make them closer. MOST families with more than four kids, that I know of, are really quite close.

Answer 3

No kids are perfect! I have four and they are very well behaved around others but can be little hellions at home. Kids don't put on a "front" but a good parent teaches them good behavior. My kids can get along well at home too but one minute things are calm, the next minute can be chaos! Continue to think they're perfect and love them! Offer to babysit and you'll find out how not perfect they are lol.

Answer 4

I have 3 kids and I do not believe that any child would be considered "perfect." I believe that it is simply that she warned them before they arrived at your house, or they are extremely well behaved while visiting and then they fight at home. My kids have the opposite problem - they are good at home and mean/fight with each other while we are out and about. Their ages are 10, 2, and 8 months.

Answer 5

perhaps what you relay mean is behaved and well manered
this needs to be tough to a child starting at day one ..
many parents give in to the child's demands or become too lazy to discipline and then ask what happened to my baby when theye reach the teenage years
a child will respect you more later for some dicipline today it is the MOTHER AND FATHERS JOB NOT SCHOOL ,GRANDMA,BABYSITTER OR WHOEVEER . all children have good and bad times the well diciplined ones have more better because theye learn the rules and the concequences

Answer 6

Nobody is perfect. Some are close, though. Everybody disagrees at some time or other, but perhaps the parents have taught them how to go about it in a more civilized manner. Either that or they're on medication.

Answer 7

i really doubt they are perfect - my sister and I were like that, we'd be very well behaved when we were out anywhere, but we fought and argued a lot when we were home. I know a lot of children that are like that, and i'd say thats probably the case with your sisters children - especially the older two.

Answer 8

It would have to be a front and their parents tell them to behave themselves when you come over and they have been taught to be polite and no one is perfect and they would not be normal if they don't fight among themselves in their normal day to day routines but it seems your sister is doing a good job with them.

Answer 9

they arent perfect. i can sometimes get my 4 children to to behave but as soon as someone becomes the slightest unhappy all of them start crying and throwing fits. And as soon as we get home they start fighting and everything.

Answer 10

No one is perfect, the cracks in the walls show through sooner or later, It's good fun looking for them in the 'Squeaky-Cleans'
