"They cuss, yell at adults and show no respect whatsoever. We have brought this to Monica's attention multiple times. She always reacts like we are wrong and says, I'm not going to beat my kids. At no time did we imply she should beat her kids, just give them a time-out or a scolding. If any of us tell them Stop, please don't do that, they act like victims."
"DEAR NOT ENABLING: Monica is a terrible parent. A responsible mother would see that her children learn appropriate behavior before they get into serious trouble. Because you cannot help your daughter to see reality, I recommend you stop inviting Monica and her children on these vacations. Their behavior is unacceptable, and their cousins should not be further influenced by their bad example."
Three daughters share annual family vacations, but two 8- and 9-year-old cousins repeatedly cuss, yell at adults and show no respect. Family members repeatedly told their mother Monica, who dismisses concerns and refuses discipline, saying she will not beat her kids. The misbehavior led one daughter to refuse future vacations. Family members love the children but find their influence harmful. Advice given: stop inviting Monica and her children on vacations because the mother's refusal to correct behavior endangers the cousins' example and family peace. Separately, a 70-year-old man caring for his ill 71-year-old wife runs a single-employee business and seeks caregiver support and resources; counseling helped but did not address all his needs.
