[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother and his wife had a second child, even though they do not have the means to raise/support the first child(let alone a second), and they claim it wasn’t a planned pregnancy. They expect the family to step up and provide free child care so they can work the same schedule and be off at the same time, they don’t bring supplies (food, milk, diapers, toys etc) when they drop the children off for free babysitting, they leave the kids for longer than the time agreed upon, they don’t supervise their kids when at family gatherings and other adults are around (leaving everyone else with the job of watching them so they don’t get hurt or destroy property), and their kids don’t listen/behave.

I am so annoyed at this situation. They are so entitled and unappreciative. And yes, it truly annoys me that they use the excuse that the second kid wasn’t planned. They deliberately had a second child. And the truth is, they ignore the second child, so why did they have it? I have stopped inviting them to my house because of the lack of supervision of their children when they come over. Other family members only have them over for the free babysitting, they aren’t invited to family gatherings anymore (most of us quit hosting them because we don’t want to invite this family). I guess this is a vent. I’m just so annoyed. Yes, I love my nephews, before anyone gets the wrong idea, but I’m annoyed by the lack of respect from the parents (and mostly how they say the second kid wasn’t planned!).[/quote]

Why are you annoyed?  Back away from the relationship and put up firm boundaries.  If you suspect neglect or mistreatment, call CPS.[/quote]
