[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel for you, OP.  Couple of years ago my sister too was going through a very messy divorce and begged me personally to let her two kids stay with us for a month until she moves all of their stuff out to their new place.  If I thought she and I were terrible as teenagers, her kids made us look like angels.  My usually outgoing twins were literally terrified of their cousins after only a few days with them.  At one point they didn't want to come home after their day camp because "Larla and Cruella were there."  TO THEIR OWN HOME!  After 1 month, my sister started saying "oh, can you please keep for a bit more, until the school year starts" and I put my foot down.  It's now been three years, my sister barely talks to me at all, her kids are just as mean as ever and my children cringe every time they have to visit my parents and they find their "beloved" cousins there.[/quote]

Why did your sister thinking was fair to ask you to keep them with you, thereby making you have four kids to deal with? How was your relationship before that? Does she understand that her kids were being mean to yours and that the situation wasn't good for anybody?  I'm sorry you went through this. [/quote]
