yes, worse than mine! my niece is going through what i hope to be a stage. starting with hateful looks, refusing to eat anything for dinner claiming 'this is yucky, i am NOT going to eat this' (even though she ate it weeks prior). i still pick out her clothes (is she too old for that? she almost 7, not quite there yet) and even though she claims these pants are her very favorite the day befoer, she refuses to wear them today.
what to do about such an attitude? my sister is about to start giving butt busting and i'm begging no. (reminders of our childhhod) the niece (i'll call her mini me, as she looks a whole bunch like i did when i was little and even has a bit of attitude like i did too), so mini me, has been spending an awful lot of time at grammies. wondering if this has something to do with it???
any suggestions? my sister is really at her wits end and i'm starting to get a bit frustrated after a very bad morning i was hoping to be good. even made hot cocoa for her, hoping to start the morning off right. also, should mention, her grades are starting to slip. went from ab honor roll to c's.
help help help get this brown eyed minime back on track before she ends up on maury in boot camp!!!!
