Sorry I know this isn’t the right place to ask but idk what to do
So my sister’s kids are getting along really badly right now, after a fight they had a few months ago. And today, my older niece physically attacked the younger (they’re sisters) after the younger ate too many peaches (?) I’m not entirely sure how the fight started, but it seems that my sister was cutting peaches for them to share because my younger niece asked her, but apparently my younger niece was eating them really fast, so the older snatched the plate, then the younger took it back, and the older started beating her. Now she has this really bad bruise on her shin. My older niece has done physically aggressive things like this before, but her parents have never really intervened. Her dad says that she’s too sensitive because she was crying, and my sister doesn’t want to hurt the older one. What can I do the intervene?
I'm so sorry to hear that this is happening. I'm relieved that you are thinking of them and caring about them and that the younger sibling isn't alone in this.
First, the most important part is to make sure the younger sibling can be safe with you and come to you if issues like this happen again. Which I'm sure you're already doing a good job at, b...... 2 reply
I got questions: How old are your nieces? Are your sister and her spouse doing anything, or just downplaying the issue? Are there big differences in how your nieces are each being treated by them? reply
tell your sister to separate them and to make sanctions for the sister who was aggressive, even if it "hurts" her it cant go on like that
and if the mom still dont do anything intervene yourself if you're here when it happens reply
