Family in desperate need!!!
Posted Sun, 12/28/2008 - 22:44 — steweley09
Dear Nannies- this family includes four children; 3 girls and 1 boy. Mom is almost 33 with a 19 year old live in boyfriend, some other young guy, and a sick grandmother who all live under this roof. The household is completely out of control. Not only do I feel the kids need a lot of disipline but there mother needs a lot of that herself, along with all new ways of raising her children. The girls are disrespectful to everyone. There grandmother who is sick lives with them and is in constant tears by the way she is treated by everyone in the household. The girls are rude to people who call on the phone, hanging up on them and being very verbally nasty. Mom doesn't make them listen, help clean, or respect anyone. They are all physically, verbally, and mentally abusive to one another. They all trash the house and is not only cluttered but unhealthy dirty. Mom is lazy and allows all this to happen just so she doesn't have to deal with it. There is no consistancy, teenagers running in and out at all times of the day and night, and they disrespect there fathers after mom preaches to the girls at what bad fathers they have. Things are constantly broken and lost. If there are things bought for the girls and they don't like it, they have fits about it. Remind you the ages of the girls are almost 15, 13, and 10. Boy is 1. Many families dread the kids coming to there homes because they are so disrespectful, mouthy, and have grown up to feel acting out in such negative behaviors is okay. The mother doesn't involve herself in the kids school academics, nor anything that a parent should care about when it involves school or when there are problems inside/outside of school. When mom is involved it is usually to "egg" the girls on in the arguments, fights, and drama created by them. The family is in desperate need of change. They have began losing family members because of all these things. These girls should be brought up to want to feel like pretty little girls but instead aren't made to shower, brush there teeth, or even there hair. I have tried to brush the youngest hair and when I started she yelled at me and said no way because it hurt when I tried to run a brush underneath. The knot she had was so big that it bulged out of the top of her hair but her mom doesn't take the time to show them how to be ladies, care about people, nor have manners when expected. Please help this family.

What was the outcome of this family. Was they able to improve or not? That is tragic
This family described by steweley09, needs more help than just Nanny 911. They sound to me like they need the intervention of Adult Protection Services, for the poor Grandma, and the intervention of Child Protection Services, for the children. If the house is as filthy as you described, and the children aren't parented any better than have basic hygiene inforced, then the Mom does not sound fit to me. I worked for CPS for years, and I see big red flags in the info in that post. And by my experience it's usually worse than the poster "touches" on in a reporting of this type.
