[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s bizarre. I’ve literally never heard of a kid feeling comfortable having an attitude like that to a complete stranger. [/quote]

Yeah me neither …. Also bizarre that PPs referring to this as normal 7 yo behavior!

My niece doesn't understand what's normal behavior because my sister doesn't believe in correcting her. [/quote]

Do you correct her?  Or tell her what is appropriate?  Maybe you skipped over that party but it seems like you got mad at the niece, sent her away and then told her you would not hang out with her anymore.  So without meaning to, you modeled being mean.  So perhaps go over with your niece what she can say or do before you get to the park or wherever you are going. It should not be your job, but if you cannot stand bring with your own niece, it’s time to step in and at least teach the kid about appropriate behavior.  [/quote]

Yes I did. My sister parent her daughter differently than me. She said she wants her daughter to be free range and manage her behavior. She's basically like a untrained puppy at the playground ground and other family functions. My kids are confused why she's allowed to do whatever she wants and they don't.[/quote]
