SO you are concerned because the child is well-behaved and not going crazy in public like so many ill-behaved kids out there? What is wrong with being well-behaved at 5?

My children's step mum (and now dad is like this), only speak when spoken too at the dinner table, eat every bite on your plate even if you are so full you will be sick, forgetting to use manners gets you grounded, no running around even outside, no making mess or noise. The kids basically sit and read quietly at their dads they may get to go out for a walk if they are lucky, and that means a quiet walk, no looking at ants or picking up sticks along the way. The kids must be perfect at all times, the step mums kids are perfectly behaved all the time.

How sad, id be thinking twice before sending my kids to stay at that house.
Her kids might be perfectly behaved but it sounds like fear is driving their behaviour.

Controlled kids end up being controlled adults who lack drive, they end up in a dead end job forever and even in abusive relationships. Nurture your head strong little ratbags people, future leaders of the world!

Yes they are controlled by fear, I think they got smacked a lot until they conformed. I have limited the time my kids are there, my youngest was hit with a wooden spoon once by his step mum, so since then dad's time is very limited.

How do you expect a 5 year old to talk? Im not sure i understand this question...She plays piano ✔️ Cooks with her parents ✔️Outdoor activities ✔️ free play ✔️ Two parents who are caring and looking after her✔️ AND giving her the skills to be able to communicate effectivey✔️ It sounds to me like you have the problem and not your cousin and their child.... SPEAK WHEN YOUR SPOKEN TOO??? Are you for real????

My daughter speaks like an adult because she loves to read and hates watching television. She has such a huge vocabulary and is very intelligent because of what she’s learning through reading. She loves to cook with me. Why do you have a problem with it? Do you want her babbling baby talk and chucking tantrums?
