[QUOTE="witzend, post: 10540, member: 99"] I don't know, I couldn't stand my niece at about that age. She may have been 10, but still. She wasn't a difficult child, either. Just incredibly self-absorbed. All she ever wanted to do was talk about how much money everything she owned cost when they bought it from Nordstrom. Of course, my sister (her mom) did the same thing. And she earned twice as much as any of us. AND she had the nerve to demand that we all stop buying presents for the adults in our family for Christmas and just put all that money into the kids because it would be nice for them to have a big Christmas. But when I asked if that included not buying for her 21 year old daughter, that wasn't included because she was in college and "needed things", while our 23 year old niece wasn't to be included in the gift giving as she was "married". Considering her 21 year old is a lesbian and was living with a working woman, I didn't quite get the connection. Other than she wanted her four brothers and sisters to supply her kids with a dream Christmas. [i]Gimme, gimme, gimme![/i] I wasn't going to spend any more on her kids whether I spent less on her or not. But I was happy to exclude her from the gift giving. [img]:wink:[/img] I realize that I was a lot harder on the niece because I didn't like the mother much, and she was mimicking her mom. But I couldn't stand to be around the child. If you don't like J, you don't. We don't have to like everyone. [/QUOTE]
