Bratty relatives
This is just kind of a rant, but any advice from someone in a similar situation is appreciated.
My stepsister and her husband have the most spoiled, brattiest child I have ever had the misfortune to come across. This makes family gatherings a pain in the ass for me, because me and my husband are the only other family members with a child. Anything she does is fine, unless it's going to damage something. If she speaks rudely to my son, it's fine. If she doesn't want to share, it's fine. I don't think her mom even cares; I know the father would like to discipline her, but that is their marriage and not my business. I guess I just don't feel like it's my place to tell her to not speak so rudely or whatever, because parenting is such a touchy topic with some people. I really don't like my son playing with her though, although he is still so young that I don't think he minds. GRRRRRRRRRRRR...I just don't understand it when people can't see their child is a brat. And I can't exactly keep them apart at family gatherings as they are the only two kids and of course they are going to gravitate to each other. *sigh*
