How long to allow sister and her baby live with me?

Question

So my 19 yr old sister is living with me with her 11 month old and they've been with me for only 2 maybe 3 weeks and I'm already regretting it. Today she said she would watch my son who's 1 and a half so I could go to school and my fiancée could work but when my fiancée got home my son has poop down his legs and it was crusted in his diaper and now has a rash, he hasn't had a rash since he was an infant!!! I'm trying to help but her and her daughter just scream all day and night and also destroy my house the problem is she has no where else to go she doesn't talk to her mom and our father is not a dad. She has no diploma no GED and no job she has nothing and i just found out I'm about 4-5 weeks pregnant and my bf wants her gone before our lease ends because we are moving into a house and I kind of want her gone before baby arrives but since she has absolutely nothing idk what to do!! She's not very helpful and has been nothing but a Debbie down and a negative Nancy it's annoying!! HELP!!! I don't know what to do!!!

Answer

She needs to start helping to contribute and she would grately benefit from getting her GED. I suggest setting up terms and conditions for her living there. Quiet hours, chores etc and that she needs to get her GED asap and a job. So she can save money and be out before your baby is born or by the 3rd trimester would be even better for you... Good luck!

Answer

Its hard when theres a child involved but you need to sit her down and show her some tough sisterly love she needs to get a ged and a job and start being and independent single mom and provide for her and her child 2-3 weeks doesnt sound like much but it really is she could have set up something with the local college for her ged at least

Answer

I'd say give her notice right away and tell her to get a job and start saving because she has a deadline. There are plenty of resources for her to utilize if she needs them to help her and her child. I would not rely on her to watch my child and act as if she isn't there. She can stay to get on her feet and that's it, is how I would act as I don't think I could kick her out having a child.

Answer

I dont know how it works in the USA with regards to welfare and state but my sister is 19 too and family is everything. She could stay as long as she needed to find her feet. Although theres nothing wrong with a fre house rules but i also (not saying i agree lol) but ur expecting a 19 year old to watch two kids under 2 and get it right? Lol

Answer

Teach her to be an adult since she doesn't really have anyone. Help her get enrolled in a GED program. In my state local colleges offer the classes for free and the test is the only thing you pay for. See if she can get state funded child care. Help her become an adult and be on her own

Answer

Lol give her a month.. 2 at most 👍🏼

Answer

If imagine an 11 month old and an 18 month old is quite hard to look after at 19..

Answer

Sounds like it's time to set some rules and boundaries. Maybe give her until the lease ends.

Answer

Not being mean she is grown now. She has to start doing something to help herself. Sounds like she needs to apply for some state help and get a job.
