I have a spoiled 3 year old cousin and she is driving me insane and I’m 13 years old and she just has too much family that will give her anything she wants. She is a spoiled brat! She drives me insane and I don’t get a second of quiet time when she’s down. I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t spoil her sometimes. She throws temper tantrums if she doesn’t get what she wants. I don’t know what she’ll do when she gets to school. She thinks that she’s the boss and she is also so sassy.
