I blame that on her mother, who has no job, and neither does her daughter, and they both always get what they WANT, WANT, WANT...Neither one of them has ever had discipline in their life. Mommy makes excuses for her and let's her beat her up and me. I won't put with her BS.

You know, you just gave me an ideal. My niece thinks Santa is coming. I'm hiding all the presents in my trunk and I'm just going to put coal under the tree this x-mas, with a note from Santa saying
"I checked my list twice, noticed you have been a bad girl for hitting. So, I asked you're mom to buy coal for me. I was too afraid if I came down the chimney with the wrong presents, you would either call the cops on me, or beat me down."

Which was probably the point of printing the story in the first place.
The Daily Mail loves to get it's readers all riled up. Just look at the reader comments on the article. They are probably leaning back rubbing their hands with glee from getting such a reaction.
"We've done it again Ladies and Gentlemen, we've filled our readers full of judgemental hatred"
Don't allow yourselves to get taken in by rubbish like this.
Open your eyes and read between the lines.

Actually Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. It however was made to celebrate Christ then corrupted by people trying to find a reason to get family members to visit ect and have a gift exchange.. inventing en.wikipedia.org... Chris Cringle. Then of course retailers capitalized and corrupted this holiday in to the opposite of what Christ message was. So it is basically a insult to the memory and message of Jesus Christ. The Holiday over shadows the memory of Jesus so much that most people forget it is his birth day. Go ask some children what the meaning of Christmas is... most will say to be rewarded.

Has the Mother ever asked for outside professional help regarding her Daughter?
I'm guessing you are in the States so that may cost a lot, and theres always the danger of Professionals giving your Niece a lifelong stigmatising label and drugging her up to the eyeballs.
Obviously i don't know the situation fully, but from what you have wrote it seems Mom has given up. Which is sad if that's the case.
I'm sorry you are in this situation. It's very good of you to help out and i hope things will eventually improve for all of you.

Oh yeah, she has, and you know what the mental health clinic told her. "we can help you but, we can't help your daughter" I cracked up laughing about that one.

I think, I've tolerated enough.
You live with it 24/7 , 7 days a week and let me see if you survive.
Good Luck.
I have a life too, and these two are making it, 10x more difficult for me.
But, as usual, everything is my fault. Maybe she should live with you.
Yeah, like, I don't do enough for them.
Just destroy my house because you think it's okay.edit on 17-12-2011 by Manhater because: (no reason given)
