[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, you sound judgmental and rude, and yet you are expecting a 7 yo to be understanding and polite. [/b]Do you see the disconnect here?

I literally do not care what your sister's parenting style is, it's none of my business. But YOU do not sound like you have strong parenting skills. Although this girl is not your daughter, you were the adult responsible for her. And you are talking about her in a way that indicates to me that you have absolutely no idea how to handle difficult behavior in a kid this age. Any adult getting this angry and worked up about a child's behavior has work to do on themselves.

And to PP's, I don't consider what OP is describing as *good* behavior from a 7 yo. But I don't find it particularly surprising. 7 is really young. Kids that age need tons of guidance. Even if your sister was parenting exactly the way you want her too, the child would still make mistakes and need help. If you are going to spend time with this child, you need to be prepared to handle behavior like this. That's what an adult does. She's the child, you're the adult. [/quote]

The bolded is accurate but I think OP is totally fake anyhow. [/quote]
