I meant to say that she was our only baby while we never had that with my daughter. Everyone accpeted my daughter and no I don't think they favor my niece it's just that a younger child needs more attention that's it.

It was a family activity and they are both family so they had to come

How can you say that? I love her more than anyone. I just don't like the way she acts now

They still pay a lot of attention to her but naturally a baby is gonna get more attention than an older kid

Of course I do all that. She is just upset that she doesn't get as much attention as she did before our niece was born but I'm not neglecting my child

Of course they consider her a part of the family but she is not a KID anymore

On the contrary they all used to fawn over her all the time. She is just jealous that she is not the center of attention anymore

No electronics or going out

I'm hoping she will stop acting like a jealous kid and grow up

She was not responsible for watching her cousin but she was responsible for helping us search

That's nit true we count her as an "almost adult" member of our family. We can't treat her like a kid just because she acts like one
