Some background information.
My sister is suffering depression which she REFUSES to seek help for in any way, is VERY stressed, & has anger management issues.
She is 36 and has 2 children aged 4 & 2.5.
She is single.
She NEVER takes the kid’s out. Instead prefering to sit at home on the internet buying on e-bay.
The TV is the babysitter.
The kid’s are so bored. They love it when my sister and I would take them to the beach etc. They were well behaved as they had something to do. When their bored they of course play up. This angers my sister.
She looses her temper VERY easily with the kid’s, especially the 4 year old over stupid little things such as playing with a pencil while eating. Dropping food on the floor while eating. Being too loud. pulling leaves off a tree etc.
When she looses her temper, she screams LOUDLY so neighbours can hear. She also threatens them with “Leave that alone or I’ll chop your hand off!” etc to touching things. Or “The spiders will bit you and you’ll die if you go in there.”
She also hit’s. But NOT SMACKING. Actual hitting.
Just the other day she rung me at night & asked me to come over? Why? Because she had blackened the 4 year old’s eye & she had a fat nose!!! What happened? She had broken her glasses again. So my sister sent her to her room. But she was so angry she went into the room & threw the glasses at the wall very close to her head. She stated she wanted to scare the sh*t out of her, but the glasses hit her in the nose instead.
She had kinder the next morning & she was in a panic.
when she brought her daughter around, it looked as if her nose was broken & she had a massive black eye.
But really worried me was that she then said to her daughter “Now tell Aunty W what we practiced (for kinder).”"Eliza threw a toy at me!” She was coaching her 4 year old to lie to cover her butt plus then placing the blame on her 2.5 year old!!
Would you ring DHS?
I am getting very worried.
