DearCassy agony auntGlad I could help.And if they are too much for you before they find another place to stay,then you have a right to kick them out or make them leave(the nicer way to put it).

DearCassy agony auntYour sister and her kids are very disrespectful.And they should at least have the courtesy to be respectful and polite in someone else's home.What do you do?You lay down some ground rules.You make them help you clean up,do chores,and anything else you need help with.You tell your sister and her kids that you will not be disrespected in your own home and if they can't be respectful and decent house mates,then you will not let them live with you anymore.Hope I helped.
