do you ever feel like your sibling isnt raising their child well?

Well my sisters girls are very spoiled. But that does not mean she is not doing a very good job. She is an excellent mother and her husband is a excellent father. So I really have no problem with the way they raise there kids.

Well yes I do. My sister's try to cut me down often because I don't drink anymore and don't want my kids around that kind of activity. I don't yell and scream at them. I try to talk to them and put them in time out. It has worked for us so far and I am going to continue doing it, but yes I don't agree with how they do raise them but don't say anything because it's not my choice it's theirs. I just wish they would see that every decision that they make is effecting them in some way either right away or in the long run.

It is the other way around on my part, my sister is not spoiling them much, but I felt that she does not spend much too time with them either. She is a working mum, I was working too, but currently under vacation. I always scold my sister when she goes out with her friends, or when she and her husband is out, they go more for dates, instead of family time with their kids. I actually told her, her children can be babies only once, and that she should enjoy it much. I could say that my mum and me, took care and spend more time with the kids than her and her husband. Hopefully, they eventually see what they need to do. Currently, my nieces follow me more than their parents. Me, not yet being a mother myself, can eventually say that I may not have any right to even scold my sister on wrong kid raising habits coz I don't even have one of my own yet, but I guess taking care of my nieces, enough to be their mother makes me slip once in a while. My mom just always wishes now that I have one of my own!!! Good luck on that!!! haha Cheers!

Sadly yes, I have two older brothers who have a wife and ten kids all together. I on the other hand am a single parent. I try my best to take care of my kids, I never allow them to be outside once it becomes dark and I never leave them to play alone! At times it makes me very angry when I see their kids running around, all day and even at 9:30 at night! Their wives sit there and socialize with the neighbors every chance they have and expect their kids to be okay! I really don’t understand it! My brothers are even worse, because it’s like they don’t care either! When their kids are failing in school, they just say that there is nothing they can do as parents because their kids lack motivation to learn….it’s like “WHAT” I am not the type of person to pass judgment on anyone, but I swear at times I wonder why they were blessed with children, if they are so dammed selfish!

Yes. My oldest niece is 12. She is the oldest of all the grandkids and oldest of her other 3 siblings. Since the age of like 1 or 2. Her parents were on her constantly about every little thing. They find fault in everything she does and verbally criticize her in front of everyone. They have had her taken to the doctors about an eating disorder and have her on a wierd diet stating she is overweight, when her younger sibling is 3 times her size. She gets the short end of the stick on everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. We all have said things to my sister and it angers her and makes her take it out one my niece more. I hate that my sister cannot except my niece as the beautiful girl she is. I fear for my niece. I see a hard bad future for her if my sister keeps this up. We have all opened our door to my niece and told her whem she runs away (which we all know is coming one day) we are all here for her. I wish my sister would openher eyes!!!

i didnt like how my sis raised her kids for the longest time she would let them have everything they wanted so she wouldnt have to hear them complain when i yelled at them for doing some stuff the oldest child would say we dont have to listen to you your not our parent as i would yell at my sis and she would say its ok for them to climb the walls literally

YES!!! i have felt this way quite a bit actually! but i don't have kids of my own so i feel i have no right to say anything...anytime i have said stuff it has ended up in a big blow out between us! the kids grand parents buy them anything and everything and my sis gets mad, but never really says anything about it to them! the grandmother taked the girls and gets their hair cut, without permission from their mom! if she hears there is something specific they want for christmas or birthdays she will go and buy it....even when my sis has said she is going to get that item for them! anyway i feel it is making them brats that think money is the most important thing!! and they are getting to where they don't appreciate anything, they always want more, bigger and better!!! nothing satifies them anymore. they are only 10, 9 and 7! so i can't imagine what they will be like as teenagers.....uuuggh!!! i jsut wish my sis would put her foot down once and for all and take control over the situation and stop letting them run her life!!!

Yes I do. One of my sisters I think she does more screaming than disciplining. She never tries to talk to her kids to find out what they think, why they did what they did, etc. It is really hard to watch or hear because I hate talking to her on the phone because that is all I hear is her screaming at the kids.

I actually feel like my sister doesn't think I'm raising my daughter very well. Yes, this is my first child, but it's not like I'm a complete moron.

I have 6 nieces and 3 nephews at home. My brothers got married at a very young age and now doesn't have a stable job. I really pity my nieces & nephews because they are deprived of necessary materials that they needed much. As their aunt I tried my best to help provide them as much as I can. I was able to realize the importance of planning a responsible parenthood. We should take marriage seriously because your attitude as a parent will determine the future of your children.
