[quote=Anonymous]Your niece lacks self awareness because she is only 9! It sounds like she loves her older cousin and wants to spend time with her. Give her some grace! Tracy your daughter to ask for space with kindness. ‘I love playing with you, Larla, but I need some space. I am going to go read in my parents room for an hour.’ She can set boundaries and advocate for herself without being a jerk about it. 9 and 11 are old enough that they can work it out. Agree with everyone else that your 11 year old needs to learn to be with other people, especially family. I would let her hang out in your room when she needs a break, but she should learn to share a bedroom for just a week. Some day she will go to college or live with friends, does she ever have sleepovers? Bring a white noise machine, or ear plugs. She seems a little old for you to be giving in her to all the time.
