I need a mommy's help!
I'm seriously getting tired of my niece talking down to me and not listening to me.
Scene:
Aryana(niece):*walks in* turn on cartoons.
Katie(me): Thats not how you ask for cartoons.
Aryanna: I.want.CARTOONS ON!
Katie: Um, no, not when you're asking like that..
Aryanna: I want cartoons on!
Katie: Excuse me, how do you ask for things?
Aryanna: Cartoons PLEASE!
Katie: thats better, but I'm watching a movie, not right now.
Aryanna: I want cartoons on!
Katie: I already told you no.
Aryanna: you dumb!
What should I do <.< This is the same routine every frickin night and day.
I can't exactly go to my parents, they're like "Just turn cartoons on for her so she'll be quiet. She can't watch cartoons anywhere else in the house."

She is testing you and it depends on what she already knows that she can get away with. You have to remember that you are the adult and she is the child. You cannot lower yourself to their level. You tell her that you said no, and that is how it is goin gto be and after you finish your movie then she can watch cartoons. Do not back down or give in, because then she knows if she keeps pushing you that you will give in. And if she keeps on, tell her that you have to restart yuor movie now, because she was distracting you, so now she has to wait even longer to watch cartoons.
You have to let them know that you are the boss and what you say goes. Otherwise, they learn rather quickly who they can control by their actions.
And depending on your beliefs, you can always tear their asses up if they misbehave to bad. My mother tore my butt up all the time and I survived. My child knows if I ever get to the number 3 in a countdown, that he will have his butt tore up. Now, all I have to do is say "1" and even at 11 he jumps into action.

My parents spank, I just smack on the hands or thigh, but thats only if they're really being bad.
After I posted this she starting chanting "I want cartoons! I want cartoons!"But I just ignored her. She's stopped now. I usually just tell her how its going to be. I was in the room watching a movie first, she didn't ask right, so shes going to have to wait and if she has a problem with it, then to suck it up. But she does it every night, and its getting kind of annoying.

That is your other option. Threaten to put them to bed. 
They hate that.

What she said - -
Just remember, they test to see how far they can go and the next time they try to go further.
For all who don't have any kids yet, if no one has told you before then let me be the first to tell you, it is NOT easy to raise children!
But, on the upside, if you allow them to live through the teenage years then one day God will bless you with grandchildren and you can spoil them and send them home to make their parents miserable!
And remember: Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children!
