Sounds to me like this kid needs a good ol' fashioned hide-tanning. Repeatedly. She's 8, not 2. She knows exactly what she's saying, and if it were me, I'd wash her mouth out with a bar of Dial and see how she feels after that. That is totally inexcusable, and Kelli, you should not have to deal with it. Someone needs to straighten her out real fast before she grows up with that foul mouth.

I'm with the majority here (it seems). I don't think you should be offended or hurt... you are the "grown up." BUT she should be taught not to say garbage like that because it's incredibly rude. And imagine if she had said it to another child? There's no "grown up" in that situation. I'm surprised her mom didn't say something to her when she said that. CF or not, if I said something like that when I was a child, I'd have gotten pulled aside roughly by my arm and yelled at with that "really angry mom face" that used to scare the hell out of me.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, long exhale.
Thank you. I feel so validated.
My sister and I aren't seeing eye to eye on this and I'm just going to remove myself from the situation for a while until they both (sister & niece) realize that
"If I am rude........I don't get to see Kelli........if I don't see Kelli........I don't get help around the house/ help babysitting/ help with errands/ get to go fun places/ company to visit me...etc." (both my sister and niece here)
We will see if that helps with the 'sinking in' part of 1. if you treat me this way 2. I will not put up with it and I will not come over to see you.
I do appreciate ALL of your comments and I do feel a lot better about the situation that I should stand my ground.
Thanks for validation!

Does your sister know you're going to be unavailable and your reasoning behind it? Otherwise she/they might not get it. Might not get it anyway, but at least you tried.
And as far as your sister and you not seeing eye to eye on this -- how would she like it if someone said something like that to your niece.

Stand your ground Kelli! I am proud of you for trying to teach your neice (and it seems your sister as well) a lesson on compassion! My daughters, with all their faults (and trust me, they are far from perfect, no one is...) they would never speak to someone that way. I am sorry that you are the one who has to teach your neice a lesson, and not her own mother.
