well, if your kids are your life, then its pretty obvious that you aren't the type who would neglect them. but your sister may be worried for a reason. i say lect social services check you out, because you may not realize it, but it may be true. but its seems like you really love your kids, and they can send someone to help you out with your house and stuff! i don't think they will take them from you. plus, there always the possiblity your sister was overeacting!

Was this the first time she has mentioned it. Was it just toys or food and clothes that was a mess. If it was just toys then she is just being picky. But most of the time when family members get upset about something you are doing then it is usually good reason cause they care for you and your children. Take a good look around and see what you can improve. I have 4 kids and found that you have to clean everyday 3 times or more a day or it can get away from you and could cause a problem. Children also like a clean enviroment and organized. They are preform better and are less confused.

Its a shame that a family member has to stoop so low. If there is a problem family should help out. I do not know the actual situation or if you are close with your family. If she in deed makes the calls and if in fact your house is untidy, I would straighten it up becuase, you certainly do not want to get involved with social services. I hope all is well and you can get this resolved.

have really hard look at yourself, is she telling the truth if so tell her your sorry and ask her to help you be a better mom. if social services get involved they might take them or be on an at risk register. so show your sister you can do it. clean the house from top to bottom.

Can she report you? Certainly. But, if your house was merely ‘untidy’ that is NOT anything close to neglect. If it was ‘filthy’ (and I’m not saying it was!) then that’s a different matter.

I your house is usually neat then I wouldn't worry about it. Dose your sister have kids? Ithink thatif she dosen't she should babysit 5 or 6 kids!

Tell your sister to go right ahead and make that phone call, you're going to call someone and report her too.
