What do I do when my sisters teen wants to move in with me?

She is 17 and basically in SC you are an adult - her mom kicked her out for skipping school. She the teen was in the wrong that is for sure - but no way can I leave my neice in the streets. The mom (mysister) is living with her boyfreind who is very critical to both of her girls she has always put him first. They hate him, but at times he does a great job of putting on a good show of character. I am so uncertain on what to do I have tried talking to my sister but she ives in a perfect world where nothing is ever wrong and if it is its somebody elses fault. Please help with any advice and what to do!! Don’t kids teens need love too?

Answer #1

What ty has said is very true. Take her in if you can and raise her properly yourself. Her mother has done the most worst thing in the world. She’s always going to be a mother to that girl. You don’t just do something like that.

Answer #2

If your niece is legally allowed to live with you, then by all means take her in. BUT. Lay down the law. While she is under your roof, these are the rules. Of course kids need love. I’m sorry, I am not trying to be judgmental here, but what type of mother kicks their kid out of the house. A perfect world? Where her teen is on the streets? That is beyond delusional.

Answer #3

well make sure she know what she doing. ask her why she want to move in with ya. and tell her all the responsibility she going to when or if she going to move in with ya. see what your mom has to say about it?
