Sometimes it's a necessary act for a sibling to lead the way. Indeed i would have smack her butt too (I have a younger sibling as well). Tell your parents that her behaviour is leading to a path of violence and destruction (be serious because they might think you are joking). If she is staying with you then you might have to take charge once in a while and discipline. Time out sometimes works very effectively for a girl her age.

so you have to talk to your mom about this and tell her all your emotions like I don't want her to be a bit..!So then you hold your little sister down and talk with her...threaten to take away her toys and her games and to lock her in her room if she swears or hits or..you know but w.eand you dont actually hold her prisoner but do take her stuff away and the first time it might now work she might still be mean or the second or third but she is going to wail and scream and stuff...but ya if it takes that then the extream has to happen if you dont want to throw her stuff away hide it... and ALWAYS keep time out a option...you can put her in the room and close the door until she is ready to come out a apologize...I know i sound really harsh but think of the longrun but also.. you could hit her and obvously lightly...right tell her what she did was wrong you did the right thing ok just try not to do that so often ok but always try and do your best to corrects your parents mistakes!...I hope i helped hunchristina xoxo

Your stepmother is creating a monster, with no respect for anyone or anything else.When your sister gets older and she spits in her mother's face,your stepmother is going to say what did I do wrong. you tell her you created the the monster now live with it! But for you "bust her tail" and she will grow up to know she can't treat you that way!

Oh boy... You didn't do anything wrong. Your little sister is a complete monster, and since she technically assaulted you, you are not wrong!! It would be the same as if she charged at you with a knife and you knocked her out. I'm guessing she has no rules and pretty much runs the house - am I right? You need to speak to her parents as rational adults (you're not criticizing them, but you don't want to be around her and others will feel the same way) and tell them she can't be allowed to run amok like this - she's BEGGING for some rules or guidance. Otherwise, wait until she starts school and gets her clock cleaned by another kindergartener.

Watch the age difference and you must understand the behaviour of the child as a child.How you would have behaved if you were in her position?Then examine yourself and you will find the answer yourself.The feelings of a girl at the age of 4 can not remain constant later on or when she reaches your age.It all depends on how both treat one another and the reason behind her behaviour.If you can not change her then change yourself.It will change everything.
