I am fuming over my neighbour who was supposed to look after my 10yr old DS's yesterday. Turns out she left them and her 2 youngest (8 and 9)with her 19yr old son (who has just moved back home after getting into trouble where he was living). He entertained himself by throwing things at them,wouldnt let them play outside, had music blasting out at deafening level, wouldn't let them play upstairs in the kids rooms, play x-box or even watch TV, all which they would normally be allowed to do there. He even had the 4 of them doing his chores! Said he would "beat them up" if they didn't! He was also mistreated their dog, which really upset my two animal loving kids.
She was meant to be there with them for most of the day, she had said she would have to be out for "an hour or so", with her DD(16)which I was not too worried about, but she went out at 10 and didnt get back to 4pm! I only found out what had happened when my 2 got upset at bed time and wanted to sleep in the same room, as (her son) had threatened to come over and "get them" if they said anything!
She offered to look after the boys for me and I am having her 2 here today, but if she knew she was going to be out all day, she should not have offered to child mind, she knows that I had other options available. I would have looked after her 2 anyway today.
She has not returned my calls, and even sent her kids over to mine this morning with her daughter, rather than bring them over herself.
