That's still better then my sister and brother-in-law.
They asked me and my mom to come over and take care of their dogs while they visited my father for 3 days. Mom actually had to tell them to get ride of a garbage bag of dirty diapers. We were still finding them over the place.
I think they mowed only once or twice in seven years living there, including when they sold the house.
The poo I mentioned? In the parent's bedroom, and they never even noticed the smell. That's how used to it they are. I have been to tips. I have seen occupied houses with kids running around and holes in the walls large enough that when the kids wanted to see who was coming they just pocked their heads out, and the front yard strewn with rubbish, and the adults not caring anything about it (That was just one house.) I have been to farms and smelt open sewers and pit toilets on stinking hot summer days, but I never smelt anything as bad as my sister's old house. You know a place is in bad condition when maggots are comming out of the carpet.
Oh, pieces of advise I learned from watching my sister's and brother-in-law's failings.
Don't give kids every large drinks just before bedtime. They tend to wet the beds if you do.
Take the time to toilet train them; don't assume it's something they will pick up on their own. Trust me, having to check a 4 year old to see if she's the cause of the foul smell that just came in can get annoying.
Clean the kid's potty occasionally. Don't just leave it there for a week!
If you change nappies, do not just dump the dirty ones in the bin and leave there stinking up the house for a few days. Put it in the bin outside!
Discipline the child, but make sure they know why. If you don't they will run wild or not understand why they are being punished. Telling them to stay in their bedroom for 5 minutes because they delibratly rammed their younger sister's head into a brick wall doesn't cut it when they have an I-phone, lots of games, and you let them out after only a minute.
If you give them a gift of money, don't just go taking it back latter just for a pack of smokes
Judge the advise you are getting by how the children of the advisor turned out. If they include violent drug addicts who are part of gangs, accept the advise of someone whose kids turned out well instead.

Sometimes the difference between Good and Evil is who is passing judgement.
