Her Best Friend Keeps Having Children That They Just Can’t Afford Or Properly Care For And Is Now Possibly Pregnant With A Fourth, So She’s Considering Contacting Child Protective Services And Reporting Her Best Friend
This 26-year-old and her best friend, 26, have been close since middle school.
She is the godmother to her friend’s children, and she would do anything for her friend’s children.
However, she has gotten sick of her friend and her friend’s husband, 27.
Her friend doesn’t have a job and is receiving disability because she can’t work due to the epidurals she had during the births of her children.
Currently, her friend’s husband is in the National Guard.
Next month, his contract ends, and he apparently didn’t go to the most recent drill he was supposed to attend.
Over the last four to six years, her friend’s husband would give excuses and a list of reasons why he was unable to attend drill, and he constantly blamed others for why he didn’t go.
However, because he signed the contract, he knew what he was getting himself into, so he shouldn’t be blaming anyone else for why he couldn’t fulfill the job requirements.
Her friend and her friend’s husband have three children together. Their children are 6, 4, and 1.

Unfortunately, her friend and their family could potentially be evicted because they haven’t been able to pay their rent.
This is because her friend’s husband is not financially stable, and he jumps from job to job, always claiming that it’s his co-workers’ fault that he can’t continue the position.
Last night, she was talking with her friend, who told her that she might be pregnant with her fourth child.
“My oldest goddaughter is developmentally delayed. She’s 6 and still isn’t potty trained. She’s homeschooled because my friend doesn’t want to put her in public school. She’s never been around other children her own age,” she said.
Also, her 6-year-old goddaughter has never had a sleepover anywhere, and her friend and her friend’s partner never take their daughter out and about anywhere.
Because of this, her friend’s daughter doesn’t have much social interaction and is extremely behind in her socialization skills and in many other ways.
“She says she can’t do anything with them unless her husband (their father) is there to help. I’ve offered to come take the oldest two for the weekend, but she always tells me no because the oldest isn’t potty trained, and they haven’t been away from her,” she explained.
Over time, she has grown more and more concerned about her godchildren’s well-being.
As of late, she’s been debating on whether or not she should call Child Protective Services because of how unsafe the children’s living environment is.
“The kids live in filth. Their home is disgusting. There’s stuff everywhere, questionable things on the walls, they hoard things they don’t need, and the house reeks from the inside out,” she shared.
According to her friend, someone has already contacted CPS on her and her husband.
She’s afraid that her friend’s family will be homeless if they get evicted from their one-bedroom apartment because her friend already has previous evictions on her record.
Because her friend’s family is already financially struggling and utilizing government assistance in order to survive, they clearly aren’t going to be able to support a fourth child.
Now, she’s wondering if it would be wrong for her to call CPS and make a report about her friend.
From her perspective, her friend and her friend’s husband don’t ever seem to prioritize their children.
Even though she suffered a back injury and now copes with regular back pain, she would get whatever job she could to keep her children safe in a comfortable environment, and she wouldn’t allow the family to be $3,000 behind in rent like her friend currently is.
If she were in her friend’s position, she would be doing everything she possibly could to avoid getting pregnant again, remaining aware that she was barely able to sustain a life for the three children she already had.
What advice would you give her?
