I Have Something to Say

My husband thinks I have a harsh attitude about his brother's daughter... our niece. But she is twelve now and she just literally spit out her wad of bubblegum in the parking lot where I work right next to my car! Someone (me included) could walk on it and drag gum all over our floor!

Am I wrong that it pissed me off to have to clean up after her?!?!

If I did that my parents would stand with me until I cleaned it up and so she should have to clean up her mess too. There’s nothing wrong with getting a kid to clean up their own mess especially at her age. Even when I was about 5 I threw a crisp packet on the door mat and my dad made me go and pick it up and I wasn’t aloud any more crisps until I did it. She needs to be responsible for her own actions.

@SW-User I agree!

Not wrong at all. It shits me up the wall when people leave gum for people to step on. It’s the same as someone letting their dog back out aturd on the footpath and the owner doesn’t clean it up. A little common courtesy would never hurt anyone.

@SW-User Precisely!

Shouldn't she be taught, or already have been taught, that there are trash cans for spitting out gum?!

@OldSchool I would have thought so... but her parents only laugh off her behavior and don't like disciplining her. She cries super easy at everything so she has the manipulation thing down.

She needs a proper spanking and i mean not a game spank...a proper bawl your eyes out discipline spank

Her parents don’t believe in discipline.@braveheart21

My mum would always scold me for spitting on the road when I was young

@Sambriggs96 That's a good Mum you have!

Well how old is your niece why should you have to pick it up? have her do it and well if your brother let her behave this way well what can you do? Well you could say when you are with me you are to behave correctly .

@updown2020 Here parents don't like discipline or teaching. They pretty much let their kids entertain themselves and if they cry they try to make them happy. :/
updown2020 · 61-69, M
@realrare Well you wonder why she is the way she is.
realrare · 51-55, F
@updown2020 I don't wonder... I know it's not her fault she's an awful child. Her parents brought her up to be annoying. I ,however, get scolded all the time because I get mad at her.

It's very ill-mannered to spit in public.
realrare · 51-55, F
@Travelbug I agree!

No. She sounds like a little brat in the making

You both need a good spanking. Hers harder than yours.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@realrare Then all three of you women should get a bare bottomed spanking.

@DavyPNW I hate it so much... not just this instance, but the fact that they are not teaching her anything of value. Life is sure going to be hard for her.
