Your bf's neice is her mother's problem, but when she is with you, or at your house then you have the right to speak up and correct her.
If she were my bf's neice and she was crying because she couldn't get her own way, I'd simply tell her to knock it off, that it wasn't going to work on me so she may as well stop.
You'd be surprised how much they understand. They know it's an act.
I'd also let her know that it was MY dog and I was the boss of who holds MY dog, and I didn't care how she cried.
You might just earn her respect cause evidently she doesn't respect her mother or her uncle, and probably not the grandparents either. |
