Having a child should make her realize she needs to settle down. It is time to act like a parent not a child. Ask her if this is the type of lifestyle she wants her son to grow up and have. Not taking responsiblity for his family

Tell her she is going to end up an old lonely bar hag and her son is going to resent her in the end.
She's probably lonely and thinks she's going to land a man in a bar. She needs to know that there are other ways to meet people.
Perhaps she has a drinking problem you don't know about. Time to find out.
Regardless, whomever is babysitting so she can party every night is enabling this neglect and THAT person needs a reprimand. My family would babysit so I could work & go to college and have some nights out- but not every night to party.
When I was divorced I went out after my child was in bed and was up in the morning when he woke. Nothing wrong with going out but not if you can't be a proper mom too.
Just because you are a mom doesn't mean you have to stop working and going out, but it does mean you have to maintain some semblance of decorum. Help her go back to school or at least find a hobby she can share with her son.

It takes longer for some people to reach the point where they want to settle down. I would love to settle down, but unfortunately, I cannot find anyone my age who is ready to do so. She will settle down when the time is right for her. Right now, she's still young and she wants to have fun. Life is short. Appreciate the things you have with full fervor and encourage your sister to do the same.

dont try to convience her she needs to settle ,to some settleing down means turning old and having no fun , I think perhaps the best route here is just explain that she needs to act a tad more responslibily and possibilly she should spend more time and give her son more attention ....... this time for that kid is super important and her not being there very much will cause the kid to never have much respect for her ..........

you cant make her do anything. if she doesnt want to be a good mom, then thats her problem. her son will grow to resent her. i was a single mom and went out and worked a fulltime job. BUT i was always there for my son. when i went out at night he was inbed and when he got up in the am, i was there. she will learn the hard way.

I think you should beat her monkey @ss! if that doesn't work just lock her in a sound-proof closet with no light for a week, and play a continuous track of whatever it is you want her to do. After the week she'll do whatever you want, just ask my wife. I'll let her speak just this once. I spoil her.

If she has not figured it out by now, she's not going to.
Your sister is probably lost. I think you should focus on her son, your nephew. He does not deserve to have a mother who is more interested in partying than raising her child.

sorry to tell you that the only thing you can do for her is PRAY. she is not going to change unless something happens to her that'll make her realize the reality. just hope that she's not looking for a bad thing to happen. sometimes people don't listen or don't learn from other people's mistakes, they have to learn from their own. but there are also people who don't learn that easy, something big has to happen before they stop. let's hope she's the easy kind of person to learn. that's why you have to pray for her. i can't push you or making you do it if you're not a believer, i can only tell you that i'm speaking with experiences.
sincerly,
mrs. jsvalentine
