My daughter and son in law have split up several times in the last three years. He gets mad at her and throws her out. Then wants her to come back. They fight in front of the children, ages 5 and 3. The last fight , we had to call the police. He threatened to throw her down the steps.
As for my daughter. She will not clean house, cook meals,etc. The kids can go days without baths & wear the same clothes for days. They share a room& they do not have any sheets on thier beds, they sleep directly on the mattress with just a blanket. We have beds for them and their own rooms. When they come to stay with us, they have told us that they have had chips or cookies for breakfast. I have taken care of them up to 25 days in a month. I make sure they have meals and are bathed. My grand daughter needs dental work and I have been after my daughter for over a year to get her in. She finally called the dentist today. My daughter calls them names. She has even told them they are stupid. She yells at them often. She has had two affairs and doesn't seem to think it's a bad thing. I feel she is in need of mental help. She is pregnant for another baby, and it scares me that she will either not take care of it or make my 5 year old grand daughter take care of it. The kids like being with us. My question is this. What are our rights as grandparents? Can we take them and get guardianship of them? What about the baby? How do we handle the parents? I don't want to get childrens services involved, and we DO NOT want them put in foster care! Thank You for any help!
