I think it’s very important to set boundaries, i think you shouldn’t let the kids stay either. You have to put yourself and your family that you have created first. I would say let the kids stay and charge but i think after the first couple of months, she is gonna stop giving you any money for the kids. ( idk your mom obviously just going based off what i read and my assumption)
If the children are staying with you could you take her for child support?
@Pagan idk how that would work but I doubt it 🫤
@Sahra Morgan and that’s what makes it hard. Cus I know I have to put my family first but since the kids were born I basically been responsible over them. They really have nobody but me. That’s what I was telling my husband. She’s horrible when it comes to paying/paying back money. So if the kids were to stay w us, I rather do it without expectations. But he says he wants her to pay so she doesn’t feel like she has no responsibilities. It’s also hard bc the kids never had a stable house till they moved in w us. They either jump home from home or sketchy hotels. Their mother does things for her comfort without the kids in mind.
I agree with the husband because it sounds like this is about the kids eating all the food in the house and not having enough money to buy more so yeah, I’d definitely charge them or they can leave. I’d be frustrated as hell if i couldn’t feed my own family because others who stay with us eat it all and won’t replace it.
Oh wow this is a tight situation. Honestly you and family have to come first . I feel like you can support from a distance you know . People will do what you allow . If you think it’s best they stay with you definitely have her financially help and if they disagree then the kids will have to go with them .
If she didn’t pay for groceries for 1.5years and is complaining about her $100 i dont think she’s going to give you those $350 😓
