so my niece is 13 months old and her mom doesn’t treat her right, she gets annoyed easily, let’s her cry herself to sleep sometimes, she yells at her, “hits” her i put it in quotations because she’s not actually striking her hard, just slightly for the baby to notice it, is this right? like is this a good way to parent and make your kids learn? i get angry because she doesn’t deserve to be treated that way or am i overreacting. plus when i take care of her she’s perfectly fine, doesn’t cry or cause any trouble, but when she’s with her mom she cries, gets basically uncomfortable, sorry if this doesn’t make sense i can’t seem to put my thoughts onto this paragraph..

edit: i’m 19 and she’s 22
