Need Opinions, help!!!! I really need help on how others view this, I think what my sister is doing is WRONG!! She just got a new cute lil yorkie about 4 months ago (her name is Binky). My sister has 3 kids, a 16 y/o, a 11 y/o, and a 2 y/o...she barely pays ANY attention to them, mainly ignoring the youngest. She's too busy with her new joy Binky...I understand she's excited and all, but come on these are your KIDS!!!! Im not saying she cant treat her yorkie like a kid as well, BUT please don't ignore your children. What can I do? How do I tell her what she's doing is WRONG?! Anyone been through this themselves or know others that do this?? ugh, I feel so bad for these kids...All she talks about is Binky, and it seems like thats all she cares about either!!! Please help. Thank you, now im off in introduce myself in another forum. |
Welp, a lot of us do consider our Yorkies as our own "child", from younger members as young as 18 to senior citizens... And I think many of us probably spoil a Yorkie more than a child. That said, what does her husband (or significant other) do about it? It could be like a "new baby syndrome" where a new member of the family gets all the attention and other children are ignored. You could gently suggest to her that her other children need her attention and time as well, especially the 2 year old. Or when you go visit her, pay special attention to the 2 year old to "show" your friend that the human baby needs some care as well. Another thing you could possibly do is alert the grandparents, and see if they can help out or something... |
Well personally my kids would never have LET me ignore them not that I ever would have - but I can say in her defense that most people with small kids AND a small yorkie puppy tend to neglect the yorkie - this is a surprising post - I'm GLAD I never had a yorkie when my kids were small - I now get to give my girls all my attention like I did with my REAL boys...It's kind of like having 2 sets of kids ! |
What about your Mom? Does she notice what's going on with your sister? I believe if it were my daughter neglecting my 2 yr. old grandchild [and I have one of each] I would sense it and "take her to the bathroom"! [that's where we had our "misbehaving" discussions when my Amanda was a child! :) ] The older children can voice their concerns but the little one can only "act" hers out. She probably hates the new puppy! Maybe your sister doesn't realize her actions ... perhaps you can "tactfully" point it out to her without causing a negative reaction? Good luck! |
Thanks all, she does not have a husband or significant other, she is a single mom right now...our mother, sees it too, and tells her, but she does not really listen at all to her, just blocks her out, we are much closer so, I was hoping I could let her know. The two year old tries his hardest to get attention, always following his mommy and making noise, but she does not even pay attention...when im there for a whole day, I can honestly say she spends ALL her time with the yorkie, and does not even want to cook dinner for her kids...although she does but hates too...lots of time she'll just make sandwiches now. I will try to pull her aside and tell her what I think. Thanks all for listening! I'll let ya know how it goes.... |
