Your child isn’t a brat…shes a baby… Tf? Your sister needs to be put in her place. Not much you can do to discipline an 11 month old besides tell her no lol. They cry and test boundaries and see what can get them what they want. That’s what they do. They don’t understand their feelings. They don’t Like being away from mom and dad much especially if it doesn’t happen that much or with someone that doesn’t usually watch them. I’m gonna assumeyour skat sister doesn’t have her own child? I would’ve loved for someone to tell me my child waa a brat that needed discipline at that age. Not even a year old. Hell no.

Sounds to me like she isn’t disciplined. Telling a child no is not gonna do anything if you give in to what she wants when she cries. Spanking isn’t going to ruin your child like people try to say. Their is a big difference between spanking and abuse. But try a time out chair???

Sounds like your sister is a brat :woman_shrugging:t2:
11 month olds need a lot of attention and are still learning right from wrong.
If your sister can not handle a baby (because 11 months is a baby, not a child) you should have someone else watch her.

Um, your sister is off her rocker. Keep your baby away from her or at least don’t let her watch your baby alone. An 11 month old is not a brat. She’s a baby. Don’t go to work if you can’t find childcare, she is not suitable.

Don’t leave your child with your sister…she will hit her!

Try redirecting, maybe more time with family or going to visit. My daughter got time outs and spankings. :woman_shrugging:t3: She also got plenty of attention and love. And to stay every other weekend with my sister. I found a balance. Don’t feel bad just find a balance that fits your family.

An 11 month old cannot control their temper tantrums and they get worse the older they get and eventually they can control them… a baby needs a schedule or daily routine it helps with baby learning behaviors. Your sister may not understand but I would educate her that your baby is doing all normal things

Tell your sister to worry about her own self and leave you to parent your baby how you want

I know it sounds bad,but do not hold her all the time.Put her in her crib,or playpen with some toys.She needs to learn how to self soothe.If she cries ignore it.Crying won’t hurt her.Then you can clean,shower etc.Holding a baby non stop is not good for either of you.You can also lay a blanket down and put toys around.Sit on the floor with her/him.You’re still bonding,but also letting the child move about

Omg of course a baby is attached to their parents…Id be more concerned if they werent…My advice its clear your sister isnt very empathic or understanding to the emotional needs of a baby…If it was me id think twice before ask her to babysit…How exactly can an 11month be a brat…Baffles me what goes through peoples head…I thought you were talking about a 8/9 year old at first til i saw 11months…Your baby deserves to be with someone that can attend to their needs especially emotional ones…I expect she could sense your sisters irritation and that just made her more upset…

You can discipline her without hitting her. When you tell her no, mean it! When she tries her crying trick, let her cry and don’t give in. Crying isn’t gonna hurt her. Don’t hold her everytime she wants you to. You need to get a hold on this while you still can or you’re gonna have a nightmare on your hands as she gets older. You can still love on her, just when it comes down to certain things, show her you mean it and don’t give in. She’s just seeing what she can get away with now. She’ll learn. Maybe reward her when she listens to you and give her some Momma loving. Lol. Good luck hun. You’re doing a great job! :wink:

I don’t think your baby’s the problem it’s your sister. An 11 month old can only retain so much and understand so much. And if your sister can’t understand that she’s definitely the problem. I suggest finding somebody else to watch your child cuz it sounds like she doesn’t have the patience to be around young children.

Not much you can do for her at 11 months. Just keep redirecting her. If she is getting into something she isn’t supposed to or doing something she isn’t supposed to. And at 11 months On this earth who the heck else is she supposed to be attached to. Here is a parenting tip: don’t let your sister watch your kid anymore. Clearly she has no Patience and can’t distract an 11 month old baby for 2 hours. Sad that your poor baby had to suffer when it’s very easy for a grown woman to occupy a baby for 2 hours. I would say I’m sure you are doing fine if you daughter is attached to you and don’t let your sister watch your kid anymore.

I had 4 kids…ages 3,7,9, and 11 placed in our care and my husband worked mudnights 7 days a week 12 hrs a day. It was tough.I understand why you hold her.Dad needs sleep.

My sister babysit for me, ONCE, my daughter was around 9-10 months. She messaged me non stop saying my child was out of control and spoiled BC all she’s doing is crying, as soon as I got that text I went and got my daughter and never let her watch her again… Later found out my sister sat her in a pack n play and left her there!

I’ve already raised two boys that I love dearly. Now i’m raising two grandchildren, 1 is 13 the other is 2. The 2 year old has a temper and gets mad when he doesn’t get his way.I teach him right from wrong, (honestly that’s our job). He’s a great 2 year old who gets lots of love,attention and discipline. One problem with parents these days is they don’t believe in discipline.I wish you the best of luck.

You’re sister is the only brat here. 11 months old that behaviour is pretty standard, but is your sister pretty clueless about kids in general? because she sounds it.

If you want to involve a village when it comes to taking care of your child, you need to be able to accept constructive criticism about the behavior of your children. Otherwise keep them yourself. Most of the time people see things that we don’t and because they are our children and we love them it hurts our feelings when things are said. No one has a monopoly on parenting. Also, you can most definitely “discipline” an 11 month old. NO, it doesn’t mean you have to hit them. there are a hundred and one ways to discipline a child without physically touching them.

Your sister is out of line. That is completely normal behavior for a baby. You don’t discipline a 11 month old who is still learning what no means.
Also her crying when mom and dad aren’t around means she has a healthy attachment to you. Right now she is learning boundaries and learning to understand words. She is bound to be more fussy when you aren’t around. If your sister csn’t handle that and can’t help establish boundaries you are trying to teach her find a sitter who can.

Your sister is a bitch and likely didn’t want to watch her anyway. I am a nanny for a 6 year old with adhd, he hits, screams, curses, dumps toys… never ever have I told his parents that he is a brat, you just simply don’t do that. If you know your baby is crying to get her way, then definitely don’t give in, but for right now all you can do as far as discipline is model and talk about what we do and don’t do. But seriously, find a new babysitter

Well stop holding the child all the time. Just cause dad needs sleep dad needs to adjust to having a baby. They cry get over it. If it wake you up sleep somewhere else get noise cancelling ear muffs :woman_shrugging:t2: let her cry she won’t die if she cries. And she’s attached cuz you hold her all the time let her develop independence like there is no need for your child to be held all the time crawl around let her play independently. You are not your child source of entertainment 24/7. They need coping skills and to adjust to other people caring for them. socialize your child. Play groups and stuff

Your sister’s the damn brat! I don’t think I would trust her to watch my baby again that’s for sure, especially if that’s what she thinks of her. She’s a baby. A baby is not a brat, especially a baby that’s not even a year old yet. I would definitely not have her watch my child anymore.

Two hours and your sister had an issue. Does she have little ones? Ever had a little one? A pop on the butt will not hurt your daughter, it is the sound that makes them cry when disciplined. It is not abuse they are well padded. Only had to a couple of times with my son. Daughter needs to be more independent and not rely on you to hold her all the time. My son was well versed with my siblings so never had a problem there. Close bedroom door when hubby is sleeping during the day. He will learn to tune it out. Leave with someone more often so to get used to it. Just visit at first with the person with your daughter. Sounds like sister isn’t close to your daughter or you maybe?

Distraction is key, she is not even a year old, shes not being bad, shes learning, dont discipline her, just distract her with something else, and when she cries for attention, just dont give it to her, only way she will learn, need to nip it in the bud now, dont react to their behaviour, if they see you react and they get attention, they will keep doing it.

Umm 11 months. Still a baby! Infants to 2 yrs old are only expressing themselves. They can’t speak actual sentences. It’s Normal for them to throw tantrums, they are so small and feel a bunch of emotions that its hard for them to sort through, when a baby does throw a tantrum let them calm themselves down. It’s not anyone’s fault. And what’s wrong with being clingy? Bfs & Gfs are clingy, so is it ok for grownups to need attention and get clingy but it’s not ok for lil baby’s and kids? Your sister needs to stop acting like your baby is spoiled. Adults get away with being worse and she is complaining about your child? Time outs are only ok for 3yr+.
Infants & kids need love, they need to be assured they are not alone & safe.
Ask your sister, if your going to think that way then why do people need to be in a relationship, you don’t need to be hugged everyday, you don’t need to hear “I love you” everyday, when your in a bad mood, why can’t you control yourself? If babies aren’t allowed to express emotions then adults have no right to be jerks or clingy or self centered.

The “crying trick”?? If your infant is upset, they’re upset. Just because YOU or YOUR SISTER, who are GROWN by the way, wouldn’t be upset at being left alone for 5 minutes doesnt mean a child wouldnt. The more shes with other family/sitters the more comfortable she will be. My LO hated staying with sitters at the age, and now she barely looks at me when we pull up to grandmas house. Tell your sister babies cry and if she cant handle that you need to find another sitter.
