My baby sister stayed 3 nights with me this week and she just about drove me and my husband crazy.She has a 16 month old baby girl and a 4 month old baby boy.She is only 18 herself.She gets really upset with the babies,even the 4 month old.She yells and curses at them both and me and my husband both just about went off on her for hitting the little girl.She didn't just spank her,the way she did it I concider abuse.The DCS is already investigating her because her house is always nasty,the kids are never clean and always have dirty diapers on.I can't bare to see them put into foster care and I'm a certified foster parent but I already have alot on my plate.Of course if they are taken I will do what I can for them as I am the only one in the family who could.what I would rather do is help her to do better with them but if you say anything to her she gets very upset.....I fear for these children but I don't want to see them taken away from the family.I love all my 'grandbabies'as all my neices and nephews call me 'mammaw'as I help raise their parents.ifeel like they are more my grandbabies than anything.please help me find a way to help them and her.
