My husband and I went to visit an old friend of his. He has a wife and twin 4 year old girls. The wife was at work and the guy had a bunch of his friends over dressing a deer someone had killed hunting. The girls were filthy and dressed in rags. The house was atrocious with filthy floors, clothes everywhere, and even half eaten food (days old) lying around in the floor.The girl's toys were all torn up and they had colored all over the walls and floors with magic markers and crayons. We've been there before and the house was a mess so I know it stays that way. One of the girls finished off her dad's beer while he just grinned. My husband is mad and says I'm too uptight and judgmental because I commented on how bad it was there. He says to look at how happy they all are. Am I too uptight? My kids are teens (clean and well behaved) and my husband doesn't have kids so I can't compare if it were his kids. So am I a prude?

These are not poor people. He has a $2000 HDtv on the wall and a nice bass boat. The house is brick and would be very nice if it was clean. The coloring on the wall wasn't done in a day. I;m talking ALL over the walls.

No, it's not you with the problem! I know some people like that. They have (well, had) a really nice house until their kids tore it all up, and they think it's funny to give their kids beer. They have all kinds of money, but they live like poor white trash. I don't get it. My family was poor when I was young, but our house was always spotless and we were never dirty. My mom (who was a single mom) certainly never gave us any beer! We were always happy, by the way. I'll bet if you decided to let your kids get dirty and mark all over the walls and stopped cleaning for a few days he would change his tune. Then you could ask him why he's so uptight! Haha!

your not beign uptight they are beign neglectful parents and that is wrong tell your husband you understand hes your friend but as a friend hes doing a great injustice to those kids by not saying something to him if he can get a nice tv and boat he can get his kids some good clothes and the wife should be keeping the house at least sanitary thats not a healthy enviroment for those kids physically or emotionally

No honey you are not being uptight. Tell your husband yeah they are all happy cause obviously they all drink. I would call DSS and make an anonymous tip. You have to think about those kids.

I am sorry, but I see this as being their business. I also have Two children. well, they are not children now, they are now out on their own. but I know how children can be. it is just that some people live in different ways from others. people see things in different ways than others, also. but the truth is, it is their home. they have the right to live how ever they see fit. that is their choice. and their right.

Tell him his friends live like pigs and it's an insult to you that he would even take you into that house of filth. Ask him is that how his parents raised him?
