So a few of you may know that I have my fiance's niece and nephew over for an "extended" stay along with their mother as mom and dad go through a divorce. Well, mom doesn't do **** to keep these kids in line, and unless my fiance and I are home the kids run a muck through the house all day. Yesterday I came home to find our four thousand dollar television now has blue wavey spots in the left corner of the screen and the off button changes the viewing mode instead of shutting it down, the walls I spent 20 hours painting and detailing have been scratched all to ****, my ps2 cover was cracked and ripped off, my 250 dollar reciever for the surround had pop spilled all over it, my xbox 360 had pop spilled all over it and all MY dvd's have been scattered from one end of the room to the other and about half of them scratched to the point where they don't even play anymore.
Now these kids listen to me and my girl. When I tell them they need to pick up their mess they do, and when I tell them they need to do something while I am at work they do, but when mom says anything to them they don't listen. I told mom to tell them to stop draging all my **** out and ruining it, but they did it anyway until I jumped in on them. My question for all you mom's and dad's out there is what can I do? I have no experience with kids of my own let along kids age 9 and 10 who won't listen to mom, but listen to me. The kids are good kids, and for the most part it is just them being un-attended to kids. They are polite and respectful to us, but I really don't give a **** about that. I want my stuff to be secure and I want them to listen to their mom when we are gone.
I already know what most of you are going to say, something about how it is their mom's job to control them and blah blah blah, well that **** isn't working and my collateral damage bill is getting higher each day.
