BRATS! How on earth would you put up with 'em?

  Author:  51070  Category:(General Advice) Created:(8/16/2002 11:42:00 PM)

I've got to deal with my cousin on Saturday and, as usual, she'll be talking back to me, swearing at me (the worst words imaginable, too!), and she's going to be my responsibility. GRRRR! So anywhoo, she always talks filthy, talks about sex, and she's only thirteen! I didn't even think about that sorta stuff when I was thirteen and it makes me sick! And she dresses like a little streetgirl, swears like a drunken sailor, and just treats everyone like crud. When I have to be reponsible for her tomorrow, how do I straighten this punk out? How do I keep her from being such a little brat? Her mother isn't going to do anything, for she's just as immature. She's takes the kid to bars and keeps her there until 2 in the morning.

Date: 8/17/2002 12:02:00 AM  From Authorid: 49498    if that doesnt change you, coming out to Mr.Sunshine will. Then you go blind for a day or so.  
Date: 8/17/2002 12:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 25481    It's illegal to have kids in bars after 10pm. They wouldnt let me stay in the bar with my dad after then because it gets too harsh. It sounds like its her moms fault and until she gets a new guardian it wont change. even if you straigten her out, she'll go back home to her mom..Just put up with it. Tell her you wont deal with her crap when your around her, that your not her mom, and she needs to behave and show proper respect or you will show her disipline. YOU CAN STILL STICK 13 YEAR OLDS IN CORNERS..my mom did it to me today   
Date: 8/17/2002 12:07:00 AM  From Authorid: 25481    If all else fails..Slap the girl across her dirty mouth til she cries..It sounds like she needs it. I dont care if someone thinks its abuse..this girl needs Discipline.  
Date: 8/17/2002 12:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 7952    THIS IS THE EXACT REASON I'M NOT HAVING KIDS!!!!! (plus the whole childbirth thing) LOL ...ughhhhh i hate brats!!!!!!  
Date: 8/17/2002 12:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 26598    it sound like the little miss is found your button the verbal shock attack. Try psychological, for example, stare at her for long periods while shes talking and at the same time tie knots in twine, and then dont reply or facially respond to her verbal attack, just mention I hear that twine now adays can hold a four foot child to a chair when bound around her. Then laugh like your insane.
The act like you snaped out of a day dream, " Oh pardon, what were you saying?"
Mess with the kids mind, they will not know if your real or not.

Date: 8/17/2002 1:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 19625    Play Prison!!!! Eeeee, Favorite game! Lalala, When she does something really bad, or rude or anything that you find unacceptabe, stick her in her room for 5 minutes, next time she does it... 10, next time 15... etc. Quite fun really! Make sure it's a room in which there's nothing of entertainment value though, for that would defeat the purpose. Erin-

Date: 8/17/2002 1:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 30229    Well, as the MOM of 3 kids, it sounds to me like this girl could use a REAL friend, and some understanding.. maybe trying the friendship approach will calm her down, at least when she is around you. Sounds like she doesnt have any role models, and maybe you can fill that bill? I hope all goes well   
Date: 8/17/2002 1:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 23610    Here's my take on this, for what it is worth. Obviously it sounds like this child has not had a very nice upbringing and probably has a lot of pain and anger hidden under that facade of rebelliousness and "brattiness". The reason I believe this is because she sounds a lot like me at that age. My mother was a bartender and my step-father owned the bar. So...I spent quite a bit of time in the bars, bored out of my mind, ignored...and when not ignored...talked to inappropriately. I became a tough little kid and could even scared some of the adults. I found that my tough exterior was a good defense not only from people thinking that they could be rude to me....but also from being hurt or even admitting I cared about anything. Her behavior sounds like "attention seeking" behavior. You just have to decide what kind of attention you are going to give her back in return. By reacting angrily...you will only cause her to put up more defenses and become more "bratty". When she starts to talk inappropriately all you have to do is tell her something like...."you know, I really like you, but I hate it when you talk to me like that. I want to be friends with you, but you make it hard when you act that way." She's not going to change overnight...but she will probably at least go..."huh?"...at least in her head. If she talks to you with foul language just ignore her and tell her that you will talk to her when she can talk properly because you respect her and you would like to feel like she respects you too. Don't engage yourself in the behavior by letting her get your goat and reacting in anger. What she is doing is testing people. She could probably use a good friend who is a decent person and a good example. Just look at her behavior as a defensiveness and try to to react angrily. I'll bet you will notice a difference after a while.  
Date: 8/17/2002 1:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 23610    LOL...sorry...that should say..."try NOT to react angrily."  
Date: 8/17/2002 1:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 44850    *throws the key to m.man's closet out the window* ... there, problem solved   
Date: 8/17/2002 4:09:00 AM  From Authorid: 2420    Oh sheesh, thiers no way you can straighten this kid out in a day. It's going to take someone stern to deal with her every day. She's gotten away with everything and she's not going to change without someone stepping in and taking over what her mother should be doing. She needs adult supervision and rules to follow every day. It's probably a little too late for that. Good Luck.  
Date: 8/17/2002 4:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 58051    how old are you. make a point tht you're older and that she can not be disrespectful and rude to you.  
Date: 8/17/2002 5:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 56057    Unfortunately you can't change children over night. It is such a shame children don't recieve the love and attention they need whilst they are growing up. That's what it sounds like to me from what you have written. She does all this for attention. Please try and talk to her, explain to her how her behaviour offends you. That you are there for her to talk about any problems she has, but you just won't tolerate her misbehaviour. She's not going to change overnight, but you need to help set some boundaries for her to respect. I wish you well my sweet.....Bear Hugs, Boomie   
Date: 8/17/2002 5:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 59214    OK. Here;s what you gotta do. TEACh her that the way she is acting, STINKS, without slapping her and without making her feel like dirt.

BECAUSE if you physically disapline her, she'll think it's fine to do the same to anyone that gets on her nerves (namley you! lol). And if you make her feel less than she is, she'll just rebel some more.

Instead take her for a drive to the 'street corners' the real slums of whereever it is you live (every place has got some)

And talk sharply, buting also understanding. Not, "You stupid little brat!" But, "You do realize that the way you present yourself makes people think less of you? Some one who meets you is going to treat you like like trash."

Then get out of the car (in the slums) say your buying something at the corner store. But let HER walk around and see everything. If all else fails. Just stand on the corner for an hour. You can occupy yourself lol, read a mag. and tell her, "No. No I don't feel like going home. I'd much rather sit here and read about sex in the zine. Wouldn't you? Or watch girls get picked up on the street. Thats always amusing."

Reverse phsycology!
  
Date: 8/17/2002 6:23:00 AM  From Authorid: 8184    Sit her in the corner.  
Date: 8/17/2002 7:30:00 AM  From Authorid: 38095    I see a chair in the corner, ropes (possibly chains?) holding her in place, teh first time she curses. Also, if you have one of those cheap water pistols, get some hot sauce, mix it with some water, and squirt it in her mouth when she curses you. She'll stop, directly.  
Date: 8/17/2002 7:36:00 AM  From Authorid: 61860    I hear that belts and whips work wonders, too... ~Locke Hart~  
Date: 8/17/2002 10:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 40979    If she back talks smack her! lol all I have to say. It works on me   
Date: 8/17/2002 1:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 56489    Well that's were the kid gets if from, daughter like mother sanerio, you can't fix it though. Aimless  
Date: 8/19/2002 8:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 60229    well for starters she should be taken out of her moms custody. its not her fault she is like she is. obvioulsy she has no good role models. try taking her somewhere or showing her how much you care by buying her something in her interest. she thinks no one cares what she does is why she does the things she does. try being her friend not someone who is gonna put her down everytime she comes around youd be shocked if a friend is all she really need someone who is there for her to look up to other than her bar hoppin mother. try this and let me know if it works white snow bunny
Date: 9/2/2002 9:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 59940    You dont have to deal with her everyday,though ,do you? be THANKFUL that you dont have to do this everyday!
I have to put up with this kinda crud EVERY DAY from my TEN YEAR OLD Brother!!
Fayes Eyes...Oh yea,and thus kid?sounds like she has no respect for people so...I carry no hope for her rehabilitation,im sorry...
I hope the good in her arises some day,though...
Fayes Eyes
  
Date: 9/2/2002 9:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 59940    PS: hurting her will make it worse.Thats probably what happened!
If you slap her,i swear that by god,she will NEVER get better!
I was hit as a child,both for reasons and just for the heck of it.
I have no confidence in keeping a secret with my mother,nor would i ever confide in her without feeling like a loser who just blurted to the most popular and snottiest girl in school that she thought mr football star was hot,lol.
But trust me on this one.I dont suggest hitting.Some kids want to be hit,and some dont.
Fayes Eyes
  
Date: 9/4/2002 9:07:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 51070    Nope, I won't slap her unless she hit me first. I don't believe in hitting someone unless they deserve it. But I think that she needs to be told that her attitude just isn't good. She recently confided in me about how much she hated her father and how she doesn't like her mom. And, after what she told me, I feel somewhat of a kinship with her. Thanks for all the advice, though.
