Stupid SIL!!!

[Aaliyahsmummy]

Sorry this is a bit of a rant:

Hubby came home from his parents last night and told me a interesting story:

As he pulled up his sister and her hubby were trying to get there car started so he walked over to help- was a simple problem (the fact that this guy does not have a license and has no idea how to use a car properly)
He then noticed that their 2 year old daughter was sitting on her mums lap in the front seat:confused:

He said something about the car having a air bag and that if her hubby had a crash (and he has had like 5 in the 2 years I have known him) the air bag would Kill his neice, they brushed it off and said oh but shes crying and then drove off while hubby was still talking to them about it!

Hubby then went inside and told his dad who rang SIL and went nuts at her she claimed they pulled over and had put her in her seat, but we are all convinced that she is lieing ( she does that alot)

So what can I do??? I know this is not the first time- SIL has tried to do it while I have been driving and of course I yelled at her.

She really is a terrible person, untill recently she 'lived' with us- or more accuratly left her daughter in our care and went out all the time.
They dont bother too feed her properly, and I swear she has not grown in a very long time(much smaller then her cousins of the same age that were the same size as her only 6-12 months ago).
Add to that my SIL has been told her daughter needs to see a specialist about her ears, she has constant ear aches, and my SIL a: cant be bothered and b: says its too expensive, meanwile SIL had tubes put in her ears only 3 weeks ago ( in a private hostpital) so she knows the pain and I know she has the money!!!

I just dont know what to do, I feel so sad for my neice, she is being neglected and being put in so many dangerous situations. I should add that I havent put alot of stuff in this,all this stuff has happened since she moved out of my house, alot more happened while she lived her and before she lived here!

Thanks for reading, sorry it turned soooo long!

DOCS. And the police. If she's driving without her child properly restrained that's illegal. DOCS may say she's not a priority as there are far worse cases out there, but the police will be able to visit regarding the safety restraints and that might start the ball rolling.

Your poor niece - this must be hard for you :hugs:

What is your brother like with the situation? Can you take him aside and give him a good slap?

Thanks Chesby!

I think the police may be a good idea will call them tomorrow and see what they have to say.

I dont think I explained very well in my poorly written rant:p
Its my husbands sister and her husband that are the problem. unfortunatly he was born and raised over seas where they dont use seat belts and he speaks limited english (so I cant talk to him at all) and my hubby speaks limited Arabic so cant discuss it with him 'man to man' or anything.

I made hubby send his mean older brother an email telling him everything that she has been doing, even though he is mean and I hate him, he will absolutly tear her a new one-(the reason I hate him is cus he says what he thinks-in the harshest way possible, and alwasy gets his way in the family) Hopfully this works!

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, was very very stressed and mad this morning so im sure it was a hard read:D
