They've got to learn somewhere. This is why I now have them. They lived in conditions "unfit for human habitation" as the Child Services worker said. I knew they were living in filth, but I had no earthly idea it was that bad. My daughter-in-law came from a family that weren't what you'd call "clean" people. I tried to tell my son that as I went to school with her mother. My son had to find out the hard way and soon they divorced. She got the kids and my son remarried and started a new life. He pays his child support but the daughter-in-law used it to buy meth, run around with all types of bad people, neglect my grandchildren and then feed them food from the dumpsters behind Walmart. The house was infested with roaches, bed bugs and the girls had "super" head lice. There was no running water and the commode was backed up. The refrigerator was no longer working and was molded up. Clothes were piled up everywhere and the Social Worker said it was not only unfit for humans, but a fire hazard as well. My son could not take his own children as the house they live in isn't big enough; but he lives right down the road from me and there was no one with me and my husband so we had two spare bedrooms. It has been a nightmare at times, but in the long run, it has been worth it. Hopefully I can change some things and make them responsible adults. I have to constantly stay on them about picking up after themselves, not throwing paper and pop cans in their room floors, pick up their dirty clothes, etc. They were NEVER taught. Sometimes I have to tell them "Look, this is the reason why you lost your home. It is not all your fault as your mother was supposed to teach you, but we can't continue living in filth. You do NOT want to lose your home or kids when you grow up do you. Well this is why you must learn to clean." They have no argument for that.
Wow! No wonder they have no clue how to clean. Thank God you are there for them. I can't imagine raising children in the environment they came from. Prayers for you and the girls. Sounds like they're in the right place now.
Thank you for your prayers. If you've ever watched the series of 'Hoarding; buried alive" that's what their house looked like. And I still haven't figured out WHY there were about 15 to 20 piles and I mean HUGE PILES of cloths stacked in mountains in their back yard. Someone reported her for the cloths and her father who is a "Constable" was told by the Judge to clean it up. I think then whoever reported the yard, also reported the house. My main concern was the drugs she was on and if my 4 year old granddaughter who is now 6 was going to find something and take it.
You're welcome. Their mother sounds like she should be in jail.
She was. I was told by child services that they doubt she ever gets her kids back.She's had a little over 2 years to prove herself fit. She refuses to get a job, she has never rented or bought a home as someone else has always provided it for her. Her father and others have GIVEN her every vehicle she has ever owned; only for her to wreck them, and she hasn't proven she is totally off of drugs. She goes to jail almost every 3 to 4 months for non-payment of child support because she'd rather do drugs or buy unnecessary things with it. And she stays at this friends house until they get tired of her only to move to another friends house. She does work for an Amish man part time and has almost broken up his home. The wife can't stand her. And my husband and I think she is blackmailing the Amish guy because she gets a lot of things from him. The Judge refuses to look at the Amish man as an employer because there is no wage statements. And she refuses to clean herself up and find a respectable job that shows proof of earnings. So I'm sure I will have them for a long time.
