I have a friend who has two children, ages 2 and 3. I love these kids like family, they are adorable, but I hate the way they act 90% of the time. My friend basically raises them on her own, and I feel is doing a poor job.
Both children whine, hit, talk back, have no discipline, and destroy and disrespect my apartment and things whenever they're around. If you tell them no, they say "shutup" or hit me or they're mom. When they're whining for something they aren't going to get, the mom always says "just a minute" instead of "no" because she doesn't want to deal with the crying.
She constantly has them in their car seats, feeds them McDonald's every day, and doesn't put them to bed until 11 or later. And when she finally does, she turns on Adult Swim on cartoon network. I love that program, but I'm not 3 years old. The content and language are far more adult oriented.
I've made suggestions nicely, but it doesn't work. What can I do without losing my sanity and a friend?
