Our BM is like a teen in a very big body. She has no sense of responsibility but unfortunately the SKs refuse to leave her nest. They get to do anything they want there! No rules. No accountability. Party Party.

My poor DH. It has been so hard, being the one who gets to hear about all the disasters after they happen and he is powerless to prevent them. The latest--SS, 17, burned his arm while throwing gas in a bonfire. Just think what could have happened! It got infected so he finally went to the doctor and got a prescription. Well, guess what, we just learned that NO ONE picked up the medicine for 5 days. Now SS has strep throat and pneumonia. He was in the ER last night, taken by his aunt, while BM was out of town visiting her BF. SD called and let us know. Then BM had to call and wake us up and tell us "I'm on my way to the hospital." So what. She ended up not going but we both couldn't sleep after that.

I just can't get over her neglect. MIL is really mad, spewing to DH about how she took off leaving no food in the house, etc. We live very far away so we can't do much except watch the train wreck.
