A Rant
The day after my last post, I got up early, started on the floors in the dining room, great start to an awful day. Around 10, my daughter showed up in tears, kids bare foot, freezing temperatures outside, blood on her shirt - grabbed my husband and just bawled her eyes out. Yes, she and the son in law had gotten into another fight.
My father in law was there, scooped up the youngest granddaughter and I got the baby, the two older girls went into the living room and parked in front of the television.
10 days later, they are still with me, all 5 of them. I'm having issues about the son in law naturally, but she has taken the kids to see him twice, picked him up from work a few times and this morning took him to work. He has been in Texas on an oil rig, so if she has left him for good, then why not allow the kids to be home, in their own beds for a week ? I'm confused, the cell phone has not left her ear since she arrived, she has been gone most nights, and I have been working all day and getting up with the sick ones at night, and my body finally gave out. I spent Saturday night until this morning in bed sick.
I don't know what happened, she gets angry when I ask, but when I arrive home, she is either asleep or gone and my husband has the kids. I agreed to keep the kids while she works 10pm to 6am, but I feel that she should participate in feeding them, bathing them, getting them ready for bed, and at least giving me a little down time when I get home from the office.
She must be out of sorts, I know I was when I got rid of my ex - but I think right about now there should be some very serious decisions made.
We will continue to take care of the little ones, this is not their fault - and they must be cared for, but had to get this little rant off my chest.

boy oh boy oh boy, i understand that she shouldn't stay in an abusive relationship by all means get out ... however enough is enough ... so what she gets mad when you bring it up. i would bring it up EVERYDAY! she is doing it again, she knows you will let her get away with it...STOP IT! make her take responsibility for HER kids. if that means pissing her off everyday, then so what she will just be pissed off EVERYDAY. i know you love your grandkids and by all means do what you can, but you and steve are not their parents. take a stand and do it now.... stop worrying yourself about her feelings, but it is clearly obvious she is not worried about yours. i would wake her ass up every time i walk in and nothing is done. every time she is not at work and comes in late she would hear it. put your foot down and stop "babying" her. --ok now im pissed!
You are right. We have been a little bit here and there. We have been sick and in bed, so its been left up to her quite a bit the last two days - and she can't "send them to their room" at our house - so its begining to frustrate her. Not so sure what went on with her and him -
I don't want to be the cause of her going back into an abusive relationship, if that is in fact what went on, but can't stand the thought of the kids in DHS either - it isn't their fault. Just want stability for them, and she isn't capable right now -
Tonight I'm going home, eating, and to bed. I am too exhausted.
