Babies in danger?? What should I do?
This is technically about a baby’s health so I’ll post here. I guess this may be a bit of a rant as well. I’m a mom of two. A toddler and newborn. Im not trying to brag but I do pride myself in being a pretty good mom. Now my sister in the other hand.. so I feel like this background is important so I’m adding it. I have four siblings, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. I’m the oldest. Our parents were horrible, abusive, narcissistic and literally never home. So I raised all my siblings and took care of the household. I’m still young, 21. My sister is 18. She had her baby just before I had my seconds. Only a couple weeks apart. I knew this wouldn’t be good. She told me it was for the money. The child benefit. And because she was lonely. I get that part, but yeah a baby ain’t gonna help. My sister is irresponsible, downright lazy and manipulative. She’s a user. She uses people til they have nothing left and then drops them. She has no emotions towards others, herself is her main priority and she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. I love her so much but she is a little messed up and of course I don’t blame her due to our past. Anyways I could tell her and her boyfriend weren’t doing well from the start. They never support led his head. Made him sit against stuff at 4 days old and his head would snap around and he’d keep falling over. They would force him to sit straight upright and hold the bottle in his mouth until he projectile vomited because he couldn’t take anymore. And yes I’ve said stuff and showed them how to properly hold him but they don’t listen. Just recently they had him in a bouncer at 1 month old. He can’t even support his head. The car seat is a freaking nightmare. It’s so loose he could fall out at any given second. They were going to change him so they put him in a sitting position on the floor and then let him fall backwards onto the floor!! He cried of course cause he hit his head. And they thought it was funny. Keep in mind he can’t hold his head up and he’s 8 weeks now. They let him watch baby shows since day one. Am I overreacting or is this baby in danger?? I’m so stressed about this shit. Like are they just super ignorant or do they just not care? I’ve explained they shouldn’t do this and that and why not in a nice way but they blow me off and say it’s okay. Like it’s not okay to me. This is my nephew and I’m terrified for him. I don’t even know what to do now. Should I talk to them but not in a nice way since nice isn’t working? Like I don’t want to overstep but This isn’t really easy to watch without saying anything. I don’t think they’d hurt him purposely but they’re being dangerous even with multiple people telling them to stop. I just need some advice.
