And i'm not joking! We visited last week and they seem to have a major flea infestation.
They have a dog and two very elderly skin and bone cats (aged 18yrs) and they let them sit on the dinning room table and you can see the flea eggs and droppings everywhere!
My DDs aged 6yrs and 3yrs were bitten really badly and at one stage my 3yr old had 20 fleas on her legs!!
They are refusing to do anything about it because "we don't get bitten".
So basically i've had enough and i'm not going to visit anymore.
Especially as i brought them some flea bombs and some spot-on from the vets for the cats and the dog and i treated them a few days ago.
And now my Mum rings up to say that i've killed one of their cats by treating it.
They haven't found a body, but of course it must be my fault!
Just had enough of them. I have to spend over £20 in petrol and toll fare (they are in Wales) every time i visit.
My Mum has dementia (of a sort) but seems quite ok if she wants to have a go at you, my dad lets her smoke herself to death (literally).
He gives her over 100 cigs a day and they keep dog ends in the bathroom.
When i went last week, decided to clean it up and found a 2 foot pile of ash! behind the cistern! and then they had a go at me for cleaning it up!
I bring the children over to visit them but it's a waste of time as my mum has no interest and my dad is just too exghausted.
Fed up that they have to live like this but refuse to have any help so i'm staying away for the sake of my children's health!
