I love my nieces kids but she never pick them up.The kids crap up the house hit and kick everyone and harass my dogs.They think we are a free 24/7 baby sitting service.My 19 year old who was helping me with the kids got on a bus and moved out because she was sick of all the chaos getting yelled at all the time and treated badly by my niece, her kids and everyone else because we are so stressed.I get no sleep and can't function and its really ruining my relationships with friends and my boyfriend. When my neice does pick them up she gives them ton of sugar and let them get starbucks and let them watch really dirty scary movies. so the kids have nightmares.They never give of us any money in return, but if I say anything I will never see them again. I feel I am obligated to do this because the kid's parents are so hopeless.

    Ever heard of that little two-letter word NO? Ever heard of boundaries in terms of what you do for others?

    You may have to say something sooner or later because its obviously adversely affecting your entire life. If they get mad and decide to never see you again because you are setting healthy boundaries then that shows how immature they really are. You are not obligated to help them because it is fucking with your life. It is good to give a helping hand to those in need sometimes..but at some point in situations like these you need to kick them out of the nest and hopefully they will learn to fly. If something bad happens because you set up healthy boundaries it is still not your fault. It is their fault because they need to learn to be better parents and stop pawning off their kids to other people.
