[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like they need stimulation, boundaries, and peers. Like a school — a place where they have age-appropriate activities and expectations. It is not realistic or appropriate to expect them to behave like guests in your house. Nor is it realistic or appropriate to expect that you would either set up an environment where they can roam free or be cool with them trashing your house. I think this situation is set up for everyone to fail. Look at your intentions honestly. Do you want to help her, or just feel good for saving her? If you want to help, as many people said sometimes holding your own boundaries and not taking on an unrealistic task is helping.[/quote]
