So my boyfriend and this woman has been neighbors/friends for four years they call each other sister/brother and her daughters his nieces. Recently there has been abuse in their home so they came running to us, reports made, cps involved. They are now in cps custody (mother isn’t currently in jail yet) but my boyfriend wants to take them in and we only have a 3 bedroom, his daughter and mine plus new baby on the way. We are in the process now of signing and getting fingerprints done. The mother lives right next door but is supposedly being evicted. The mother has brought family over and threatened me. I’m just not sure if this is a good idea to take them in. He seems so keen on helping them but I just see issues down the line and we both already have a lot going on. My boyfriend’s mother already helps him watch his daughter and get her to school so im just not sure what he thinks he can do to help them. I have a lot going on as well with my health and new baby. I know he wants to help and I do too it’s just not logical.

My childs father has been inconsistent over a year with visits. He’s supposed to get our child every other weekend and Tuesday noon to Wednesday noon. He stopped using his visits and suddenly wants to start back using them again but how is that fair that he just gets to pop in and out when he feels like it? I filed a motion with courts back in October and they just now scheduled a hearing that’s gonna be in July 😒 but in the meantime he skipping visits and dodging child support (which was lowered based on the assumption of him using his visits)
