My friend's sister is very irresponsible and lazy. She made the irresponsible decision of having 3 kids in 3 years even though she wasn't financially stable at all. The reason she's not financially stable is because she's too lazy to keep a job (even now that she has kids to feed). She'll get jobs, but during the first few months she gets fired for not showing up. Her kids have a roof over their head and food and everything, but they always look like they need a bath, and they don't get much attention or mental stimulation, so they're developmentally behind. Plus her house is always DISGUSTING because she's too lazy to clean it, like there's bugs and shit in there. But she drops the kids off at her grandparents' house a lot, and they at least get decently taken care of there.

The thing that makes me sad for her is that she steals money from her grandparents to make ends meet (instead of just showing up to work like a decent person). Not a lot of money at once, but like $20 here, $40 there. She's not on drugs or anything. She's just that lazy because she's never had to work for anything in her life. Her grandparents could call the cops on her for stealing (because she's stolen credit cards and stuff from them and in total has stolen over $10,000). And her grandparents aren't rich, they're like middle class, so this has affected them financially. But they don't call the cops because they know if authorities get involved, they'll take the kids away, and they've become really attached to the kids since they take care of them half the time. So they just turn a blind eye to it, and she keeps doing it because she knows she'll get away with it. Obviously, in this situation I am much more sad for her kids (and for her grandparents) than I am for her, but still. What kind of pathetic person steals money from their grandparents? That's a sad life.
