I have many stepgrandchildren. One family does not discipline or teach the kids appropriate behavior. When they stay here, there is constant screaming, breaking of toys and our personal items, scattering their clothes and our possessions all over the house, making messes without cleaning up.
The father, who is a single parent, ignores them and asks like he's in a hotel when they stay here from out of town. My husband waits on them hand and foot, both of us cooking all meals, cleaning up after them, and watching them while the father watches tv or is on his phone. They don't listen and I'm at my wits end. He never thanks us with paying for a carryout or meal or in any way.
This stresses and tires me out. We're in our late 60's and I don't have the energy for this anymore. I've asked my husband to tell them they can't stay here anymore and he won't do that. He also won't straighten him out with groud rules for their visits. Other than evacuating when they are here and hiding things I don't want them to touch, I really don't know what else to do.
Help!! Don't want o end up in divorce court over this.
