Here is my problem. These two people have two kids and another on the way any day now. Well my husband and I have had the baby 1 yr old (our god daughter) every since she was born basiclly. Well I wanted to buy my son something for his birthday and I wanted it to be a go cart. Well her realy dad said I know where you can get one for 350 dollars so I was like ok. Well in the end I found out that he lied to me and he got it for 200. After he found out that we knew he basiclly stole 150 dollars from us, he wanted to take his daughter back. Well they have no place to live, the house they have has no heat so they are staying with friends in a two bedroom house with 10 people in there and I said no, so I am having to be nice to them just so they won't take this baby to a unsafe situation. What else should I do?

Let me say your an awesome friend for helping out. I would ask him why he quoted you the higher price and perhaps even say if you needed money or help, you should have asked rather than more or less cheat me! Sounds also like they cant care for the baby your taking in and loving.IS there any chance they might sign over legal custody of the baby to you? It sounds like your loving and give the child what they cant. Nect time they try to get you to buy something, I wouldnt take their word for it. They need to concentrate on bettering their lives for the sake of the kids. I commend you and your hubby for the being the parents to the one year old!

I told them that and they didn't have a response. They just keep talking about us behind our backs. But yet my husband and I are the ones buying diapars and milk and cloths for the baby they don't even come to see her unless they get mad at me and then they take her for a couple of days and bring her back or i hear from people that they are being mean to her so I go back to being nice just so I know she is safe. Thank you.. I have tried to get them to sign her over but it is all about he State Aid they get. They won't do it cause they will lose some of the money. Thank you for the suggestions.

if you turn them in for welfare fraud they'll lose the money anyway.. and you will start receiving it. just a thought hun but maybe you should check into it.. they are defrauding the state and everyone that works hard to pay that money in... although i would still like to stick a foot up their butts.

that's an easy answer hun... imagine you are me and what i would say. Seriously though, i would call human services. the children should not be in that environment and if they are any kind of parents, they would rather their child be where they know it is safe than somewhere they are uncertain of. that should give you custody of that baby that you love so much. of course, i would prolly stick a foot up his butt just for the aggravation.
