My 10 year niece is staying with us for a month. I love that little girl so much and we've always been close, she used to spend every weekend at my house when my sister worked weekends and lived close by. I only saw her a couple times a year since my sister moved away 3 years ago.

She's been here only a week and my gosh she's driving me nuts already! I'm wondering where my sweet, considerate, loving, and wonderful little niece went cause I don't know this girl!

I'm 18 weeks pregnant so I'm hormonal but I don't think that's it! She whines, uses baby voice, doesn't pick up after herself, she left her dirty underwear on the bed and yikes, the girl still doesn't know how to wipe! But what gets to me is how often and how much she butts into adult conversation. She's worse than ss6, I swear !

Whenever I am around my mother my mom would tickle my belly and talk to the baby, and when she does that, my niece would go "grandma, remember when you did that to mommy?", whenever we talk about the baby, she would say "remember when I was a baby and did xyz?". I used to jog and practice yoga so pre-pregnancy I had flat abs and was in great shape but now at 18 weeks pregnant I've gain 10 lbs so far, I started to show early(at 12 weeks) and naturally I already feel huge and less attractive. Well yesterday I came home after work my niece looked at me and goes "At her biggest my mom was only a tiny bit bigger than you!", she put her hand in front of my belly to show how big my sis was when niece was born. She then went on about how big my belly is and commented on the pimples on my face (brought on by the pregnancy). I was near tears! I know she meant no harm but it did hurt. The thing is my sister is 5'1, weighted/still weights 95lbs and my niece was 6 weeks premature. I'm 5'6 and weighted 115 lbs pre-pregnancy and my OB says my target weight by the time I deliver is 145 lbs +/- 5 lbs so I think I'm on target. I'm not too fat-yet

She's my one and only niece and I love her dearly and yet I feel hurt by her behavior! I can't imagine how I would feel if that was a stepkid making those comments.

Ok, vent over. Thank you!
