Ranting because I’m mad…
I am so mad as a mother right now. All my life I wanted to be a mom and for 13 years I struggled with infertility and only
just last September did I officially have my first child. After having my child I loved him more than I ever thought I could love something and when I say I will do ANYTHING for my son I will do anything!!! That’s from simple things like changing diapers and feeding to literally choosing him over ANYTHING else including my own life! So many mothers I know feel the same way as me when it comes to this. With this being said I HATE seeing other MOTHERS treat their children badly then wonder why their children act the way that they do. So my brother (18 now 16 at the time of this first part) had a baby with a girl who he had only known for about 4 weeks before she had gotten pregnant. We all supported them during their pregnancy they lived majority of time with my mother who supported them financially I through her baby shower after her mom fell through. Well fast forward to when her baby was 3 months old well ANYTIME their baby would cry they gave him a bottle to the point where when I would go over and I would be the one to change his diaper he had extreme diaper rash to the point I mentioned something about it to them they dodged the question so I told my mom about it and she took him to the emergency room and he had to get prescription antibiotics and a cream. The doctor told them some ways to prevent this and of course they completely ignored it and went on about their days. Fast forward to Easter I ask what they were getting him and they again dodged my question so I ended up getting him his Easter basket even though I was trying to stay afloat myself. (I would never be mad if someone couldn’t afford something but if you have brand new clothes brand new shoes alcohol and what not YOU CAN GET A FIVE DOLLAR EASTER BASKET FOR YOUR BABY!! fast forward and they have another child. They now have two children and EVERYTIME I am over there there is one child eating something from the floor there is no room to walk and the baby baby is always on the couch while they are all upstairs door unlocked and all (they now live on their own in section 8 housing this is important info to the story not bashing section 8 because I also lived there) . This is not for them having lack of help I am always cleaning for them and my mom is always watching the children. Well I say all of this and trust me there is more because THEY ARE TRYING FOR A THIRD BABY?!?!?!? She said it’s because she wants to be pregnant the same time
Her brothers gf is and to be honest it’s not really my buisness besides the fact I have to unmatt their hair when they come over I have to SCRUB dirt off of them. I have to give my nephew his first real food of the day I have to find something for my niece to drink since she is breastfed. I just wish I could give them more of a wake up call but everyone jumps when they say jump and if you don’t then you are a POS. Anyways if you wanna know more comment your questions and maybe I will have answers
Maybe your brother is struggling mentally and she's putting so much pressure on him? Have you tried speaking to him about it?? And if this is really that concerning then call your local authorities that take kids away from parents? Offer to adopt? Like I understand the rant and all but I think you should actually speak to your brother and get his thoughts and feelings on his girlfriend and kids? Because you won't know what's going on inside his head and how he feels. Maybe he's trapped? You say you want to give them a wake-up call, I'm assuming you're in the USA, call CPS is it called? Maybe that will give them the wake up call.
