My dog bit my niece- what should I do?
My dog, who is a German Shepard/lab/mix 40lbs, bit my 5yr old niece the other day. My dog was laying on the couch when my niece came up to the couch close to her. My dog apparently started growling and then when my niece got closer she bit her on her face. She is usually shy around kids at first but warms up to them. She is use to my niece but has growled once or twice around her before. Any advice on how how to train her not to bite, or if training would even work??
My niece doesn't like me. What should I do?
My niece treats me like crap and it is so sad I usto change her crap. I was told, she said she is jelous of me. She is getting married. I want to say to her Bla Bla congradulations and to him Bla Bla good luck. Do you think that I would be out of line? I actually think it is kind of a true and nice statement.
My Niece Calls Me Mom What Should I Do?
My niece is 6 and is mt my husbands sisters daughter. My SIL had her at 16 and now is 22 but she can't look after her. We have full custody and she wants us to adopt her daughter. We have had her for 9 months. We love her a lot but recently she has called me mommy and my husband daddy. She will snuggle into me and just say "mommy tell me a story" or she will go to my husband and say "daddy can I please have a drink" At the end of school everyday she has started to run up and say "mommy, mommy, mommy" I don't correct her when she does say it.I work monday - thursday and work half day on friday and I always take my niece to the park after school on friday. I spend a lot of time with her and I think that's why she is calling me mom. Should I be telling her I am not your mom or should I let her call me mom. She is 6
What should I do if my niece has a crush on me?
It depends really. If she's young, it's just an idolisation thing and there's nothing particularly harmful in it, just ignore it, she'll grow out of it. If she's older and actively trying to make some kind of move though, it's harder to say - avoid being alone with her is the first thing though. Beyond that, there are options such as sitting down with her and a friend (one each, possibly) and having a conversation about it being uncomfortable, inappropriate and completely unrequited; having a conversation with her parents; pushing her towards going out and meeting those of a more appropriate age and relationship to her; or making it abundantly clear that you have absolutely no interest every time something even slightly crosses the line.
What should I do about my niece getting too clingy?
Well I'm 15 and I have a niece who is 6. She is REALLY loud and annoying and she is also WAY too clingy to me. I'm guessing it's because I'm the closest to her in age. But it still REALLY annoys me because she always wants me to play with her but even if I don't want to, my mom makes me do so. I end up getting in MASSIVE arguments with my mom because of that as well. My niece acts really bratty when I play with her though. Like she gets mad when I beat her at some stupid little game board thingy. I end up calling her a brat and sometimes I tell her to shut up when she starts screaming and whining about it so she goes and snitches to my mom about it so that's also when the massive arguments come in. She also tries to force me to hold her hand when we go to the store but doesn't bother her mom(my sister) my brother or my mom, or anyone else for that matter. She pulls at my hand REALLY hard when I actually do let her hold it so I snatch my hand away from her and then she starts to snitch on me again about it. I hate kids and this REALLY just irritates the h*ll out of me and I don't want to be her little "playmate" anymore! >:( I don't hate my niece, I actually love her very much but I jsut can't take this anymore!!! What should I do!? ps. When I act rude to her or tell her to shut up or call her a brat, it's because I lose my temper because my niece just acts SO incredibly bratty sometimes. I also get in arguments with my sister about those things because when my niece acts like a brat, she hardly ever does anything about it >_>
My niece hates her stepmom what can I do?
She does not like to go to her dad's b/c her stepmom treats her like Cinderella except maid part. She treats her own nicer and my brother just watches to avoid her big mouth. he doesn't mind if my parents and I have her sometimes on his weekends but sister-in-law does. My niece and I are like best friends and I want to help her. What can I do? hope to avoid lawyers b/c expenses.
My niece doesn’t talk what should I do?
My niece lives with me, I have custody of her. She is 8 years old and she doesn’t talk, I took full custody of her when she was 5 and when she first started living with me she talked a lot but now most of the time she’s just in her room playing with toys or drawing. Her teacher at school told me that she refuses to talk to the other kids and she goes to the library at recess. Of course I’m concerned and I don’t know what to do, I asked her why she doesn’t talk much and she just says that she’s scared. Do you think I should take her to like a therapist? I don’t know if that would be right, I don’t want to like ruin her childhood.
What do I call my niece's daughter's daughter?
You are the Great, Great Aunt therefore your nieces daughters daughter is your Great, Great niece.You are the sister of either a brother or a sister who has a daughter. You are the Aunt of your sinlings daughter. If your niece has a child that makes You a Great Aunt. If that child has a child then you become Great, Great Aunt.That is what I was taught but I may stand corrected.
What should I do if I'm worried about the way my niece is being raised?
I think that you cannot really change how someone else raises their child absent of obvious child abuse. CPS is not going to react to the child being fed junk food or seeing a family practitioner instead of a pediatrician. Furthermore, if CPS did intervene they could make things worse since they have the power to separate the child from the family that she loves and there is no guarantee that she will be placed in a home that is any better.The best you can do is to fill in the gaps wherever you can. As an aunt, it would not be unusual for you to take an active role in the child's life. You can take her to the park and play with her, giving her the opportunity to be active and get some exercise. You can bring her gift baskets of healthy snacks. Teach her to cook - fun bonding time with you, teaching nutrition and healthy eating habits while providing a healthy meal.A lot of times, parents feed their children unhealthy foods because they lack either the time or money to buy healthier foods. Sometimes it is due to lack of education on nutrition, but I think that is rare. If the child's parents lack time or money, they may welcome your offer of assistance to cook or shop.Kids learn from experience and example. You may not be able to affect her life to a great degree at this time, but if you are active in her life, she will get good experiences from you and see a great example in you which may lead to her making healthy changes once she is in control of these parts of her life.My parents ate (and fed to me) nothing but junk food, processed foods, and fried food. As a teenager, I turned away from this and lived mostly on salad telling them I was a vegetarian. This was not really the case, but was an easy way to get them to buy fresh vegetables. Once I was grown I set out to learn good nutrition on my own as I had seen first hand what bad nutrition does to people's health. It was through the example of healthy people in my childhood and teenage years that led me to make better choices for myself and now for my own children.
I have fell in love with my step niece. What should I do now?
Fell out of it. It's not about being modern. Maintain some ethics and standards.Move on before you humiliate your whole family in front of their relatives.It's not about others infact ,your consciousness should never allow you to think about blood relations unless and until you are very needy.So Think over it.
