[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s been said already, but it sounds like just as your daughter has mild special needs in regard to anxiety, your niece also has mild special needs in regard to personal space, reading people, and boundaries. The way you describe her she sounds very much like a child with ADHD. Considering she’s even younger than your daughter, I would try to be a little kinder in your thinking. You are framing it as entirely about her behavior (and her parents’ parenting) when your child’s sensitivity and lack of flexibility is also part of the issue.[/quote] OP, take the advice above and make it about your kid. Tell your ILs that your kid has extra need for peace and quiet and is still learning to be more outgoing. Due to these needs she’ll need to room with you. Since the niece is more extroverted, ILs need to redirect her attention to other things to help not overwhelm your kid. [/quote]
