...my niece. She is 9 years old.
My parents and niece are up for a visit, which I did not mind the idea of. But she is a spoiled rotten brat that has my parents wrapped around her little finger, very manipulative and she knows she is doing it. Sad part is she is very much like my sister....sigh. And the lying.. I know all kids do at some point to varying degrees but she is the queen of the whoppers.
Today at the beach she was told not to go into the serf... so what does she do... sneak down there take off her shoes and goes in. I sent my very patient DS after her because I can't hobble fast enough.. She ignores him and goes out a little farther. So Grandpa has to walk her down,, he also has a bad back and knees...so she runs down the beach laughing and skipping. Personally I would of tanned her backside but she gets away with that.
There have been a number of other issues....including touching my rescue horse that has ringworm all over her face.... in which I told her what the mare had and what ringworm is, in children's terms. Sigh ~~
Even my DH who is very good with all kinds of children... lets just say she is really, really trying his patience.
I am trying very hard but I just don't like her. Know it is wrong but I can stand people like that at any age. Guess I am a bad Aunt...
Sorry everyone....but I had to Vent................
