exactly!
Even if you are siblings with the kid's parents, really to the kid,
you have no other rights.
Mostly you buy stuff for them and they might be nice to you for a
while.
Otherwise kids nowadays .. they are quite bratty. Thanks to the
parents
My brother's daughter is going to go back to her mother come 4th
may because he lost the custody fight. But to all the rest of the
family, its sad to lose her, but most of us are reliefed and happy
on the side. Cause she is like that kid you described. But we are
from a lower income family, and yet because of the kid, we had to
go buy things to make her happy. At 1 year old she already started
to beat her own aunty for not talking to her but talking to the
adults. At 1.5 yrs old, she stopped calling everyone, stopped
thanking everyone for things they buy for her. She just take and
thinks its entitled. But all in all, I blame her father for teacher
her to be the brat that she is cause he himself is a brat, bully
and jerk. I do not want to start on my brother but, he's the root
of all this prpblems the whole family has and because of him, the
family broke up.
So I am not surprised we have more issues in the future with the
kind of people brining up that kind of kids. Of course there are
good parents and good kids but I begin to feel its a rarity...
