[quote=Anonymous]Time for a meeting. Sit with each one of them individually and tell them that as much as you love having them come to stay with you, they don't seem happy. Give each the option to continue their stay and if so, ask what would make it better. Remind them that you've given them a chance to settle in and adjust but that it's time to lose the attitudes and act like a family. Is this behavior that you see in them at home when you visit them? Also tell sister that you will speak with each child about the possibility of staying and if they don't want to, they will be returning home. And don't pull punches, tell her (and your mother too) their behavior has been less than stellar and that you are expecting a change. Remind her that you very much want to help but not at the expense of being a doormat. Can sister come stay with you for a bit? I'd be curious if that helps at all.[/quote]
