    Your dad maybe right that she would be worse off somewhere else, but most times people need to hit bottom before they climb back up. If people would quit supporting her, feeding her, taking care of things for her, then either she will shape up and get a job and grow up. OR.. she will get worse before better. You didnt say much about her daughter's daddy, so i am going to assume he isn't as bad as her. Someone needs to stand up and let this " mother" know that she is going to lose her daughter if she doesn't straighten up. It might not be you since you are " just a sister" but someone needs to.
    I hope things get worked out for your family. I understand your frustrations because you just want to shake some sense into her, but sometimes you got to let people you care about fall on their face.
    If ya ain't careful, this flea will bite your arse!

    Ok I may get slammed here but your sister is an adult & who she sleeps with & what she does quite frankly is none of your business. If your parents are babysitting her children so she can go out partying then they are enabling her to continue her bad behavior but again this really isn't you business. What is she going to do if GOD forbid, something were to happen to your parents?

    The troubling part here is that she is receiving food stamps while living with your parents which your Mom uses which is against the law. Does she include their income when she files for her food stamps? If she's not & your Mom gets caught using these benefits, your parents & sister could be in some very serious legal trouble since this could be considered welfare fraud.

    If I were you I would stay as far away of the situation as possible. The less you know the better.

    Good luck.

    You are right, she is an adult, who is disgusting for sleeping with everyone she does. BUT it IS my business because she brings these guys home to my parents home, where I live next door to them. And my kids are alot of the time playing. (where we store the toys, not because I leave them there). My moms isn't taking advantage of the stamps, shes using them to purchase groceries for my sister and her daughter, as I said before she would blow. The social worker knows the situation, so no problem there.

    That's what I was thinking, I'm glad your mom has them to provide decent meals for her grandkid and others in the home. Especially if your sister isn't going to take responsibility in even doing that for her child.
    The only thing I can see here happening is if the childs father is a good father and ends up getting your sisters daughter.
    How long has your sister been in the "party" state? Sad to say, and I'm not taking up for her at all, but she may be going through a wild streak, she's 30, separated..... Hopefully she settles back down quickly.
    It must be difficult for you parents also, as they are prob. doing the best they can right now, and that would be to take care of their grandbaby.

    I'm with your mom. Kick her out. If they don't she will still be there doing the same thing when she's 40. Meanwhile your parents will likely die much younger because of the added expenses and stress.

    Just a lil FYI on Food Stamps: You can have an person who is NOT on Welfare, authorized to use your food stamp/EBT cards, i.e. your mother because she is caring for the children. She would have to go to the Social Services office and fill out a form with your sister, but it is possible. Its not fraud.

    But I feel for you and your family in having your sister act so irresponsibly. Thats just crazy and I see it a lot in my line of work unfortunately.
