jsut tell him she is a little out of hand, he is your borther and he donet want ot skrew up his kid, hell listen
just tell him your kid is spoiled and kinda braty!
not a thing..you will only hurt ur relationship with your sibling..
To be honest i dont think anything you say will make him realise as, especially when there is just one child, parents tend to spoil their kids. I have two kids, a girl aged 2 and a boy aged 4months and I do tend to spoil them even though i dont want to or mean to i do because i love buying them things and making them happy. You could try saying to him 'dont you think you may spoil her a little bit much?' if he says no then point out why you think she is spoiled. Apart from saying exactly what you think and losing your brother and your neice there isnt anything else i can suggest.
Be honest and don't hide the truth, but also bear in mind this is his child. Explain it to him as you would want someone to explain it to you if it were your child who was acting bratty. If my child were a brat and I wasn't able to see it I would want someone to point it out before it got out of control.
i think u should be blunt but soft and lay it on him easy and say ur child is a little out of hand and basically get watever she wants and is very mean you should be more strict and watch her behavior tell him it will be better if she is less like that cuz she will have a lesser chance of getting beat up in school . also she will have alot more friends
just fine out a good time and tell your brother about her nicly of whats all she is doing and i know your brother will take out a time and improve her, if not that you should try and improve the nieice yourself as thats the only chance you have got.
Retarted (redarded)? Wow, that's pretty mean. It's not your place to say anything. How he raises his daughter is his business. As long as he isn't doing anything to warrant a visit from CPS, he can do whatever he wants. If you don't like your niece, stay away from her.
The worst that could happen is he stops talking to you. Tell him what she does that you don't like, if she does it in your house (and I emphasize YOUR b/c your parents doesn't count), tell him "I can't have her behaving like that in my house, I love you both but she's going to--insert reason here--(like break, destroy, hurt, influence, etc)." If it's something trivial, leave it alone...like picking up something she fancies that you don't want her to play with like a pillow or doll, etc. If it's something serious, like hitting or kicking when she's angry, that's when you tell him that "you can't have her behaving like that...." EDIT: It seems as though most people posting here believe you are a child yourself. I had not judged you by your spelling and thought that you had brains enough for yourself to realise when and how to talk to your brother. I don't think you should take the parenting into your own hands. That would be stupid, she's not your child and you should know your boundaries. I think that you should develop an open and honest relationship with your brother and tell him how you feel. If you can do that without getting immature, he may understand where you're coming from and try to fix whatever problem exists between your three relationships.
Its your brother, right? So just tell him. My brother didn't hold back when it came to how he felt about my son and though I was angry at first, I looked at it from his viewpoint and I could see how I was blinded by my own determination to do things my way. It turned out to be a blessing and I learned how to lighten up as a parent.
I wonder how you're so sure that his child is a spoiled brat. Some kids are easy going by nature; some are difficult from the first. You sound rather young in your post, and maybe a bit jealous ... and perhaps not in the best place to offer parenting advice. Unless you have concrete examples of your niece's misdeeds, I think you'd be stirring up a world of trouble for no reason.
be honest and say to him if he's not careful his friends and family won't want to visit him anymore , nothing worse than a spoilt brat, whose parents are blind to their faults ,Its called being cruel to be kind good luck
Maybe you are being too judgmental. Your spelling suggests that you are young too. Are you jealous? Can you validate why you feel that way to him? If you can speak to him, if not move on he will figure things out as he goes.
Parents rarely believe what others say about their children unless it is good. Especially since he is the one that has spoiled her. I think that anything that you say will fall on deaf ears. but, if you feel you must, the best thing is to point out something as it is happening rather than giving him a list of past mishaps. For instance, if she is talking back to you in an disrespectful way, Call him on it and say," Your daughter has no respect for me or anyone else. You need to put an end to that before it gets out of hand. If you can't control her when she is 6, you won't be able to control her when she is 16. I love you and I love your daughter and I hate to see her grow up treating adults with disrespect." As I said, it will probably fall on deaf ears but if you feel that you must speak out be prepared for an angry response from him. Who knows maybe he feels the same way but he has been unable to stand up to the girls mother and your comment may be just the thing he needs to do it. Good Luck. I'm praying for all of you.
Not a thing, and hope it passes. There's always at least one in every family, so don't get to worked up over something you can't control. If anything, you might hurt your relationtionship with your brother. Don't let that happen. Family is too important.
If it's to the point where it's really bad, then I would just tell him. If it hurts his feelings, oh well. He needs to be a parent and stop raising a brat. But all in all, he'll have to deal with it worse when she's older if he doesn't get control over it now. Good luck.
My sisters kids are horrible but you just have to deal with it. The parents create their own monsters- they'll pay the price on a daily basis and the kids will eventually outgrow it.
