[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have kids? Four is a tough age, even if she didn't have her schedule disrupted by (possible travel and) an adult event. The parents should not have brought her, or should have left the room with her, but her antics do not in themselves mean she's a brat. Nor is it clear how spanking would help here.[/quote]

The funeral was for the grandmother of our neice, i.e. the mom of myself and all of my siblings. Bringing the granddaughter was warranted. [/quote]

As someone who had a very close relative die when I was 4yo, [b]the parents should have gotten her a sitter. She should not have attended the funeral- not age appropriate for a 4 year old to participate respectfully in something like that or to even understand the significance[/b]. That said, it does sound like the parents need some major parenting classes. And / Or niece has special needs. Not sure which it is (or both) - patents with special needs kids are often at their wits end until the condition is diagnosed and formal therapies are started. Regardless, you do need to keep your mouth shut, unless of course you want to risk potentially not having a relationship with your sibling.[/quote]

No four year old needs to go to a funeral. Parents should have got a sitter  or the parent (not related to the person who the funeral was for) should have taken the 4 year old outside or elsewhere.[/quote]
