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.
Non of us can teach or lecture the kid cause my brother gets really upset. So I keep my hands off so that my brother does not get angry and takes it out on my parents who happen to stay with him. Its all very ugly.
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...
