Whits End here...

The little "darlings" have overstepped my boundaries. Had a nest on the porch with eggs in it. I purposely sat and explained to them about leaving it alone when they asked about it. Today, the oldest girl (12) removed the eggs from the nest. I wondered why the mother bird was acting strangely. The 11 year old came and told her mother about it.
If she did it out of spite to show me she can do what she pleases, she has gone to far. I will not have the child in my house. Children live what they learn I know and their mother is a spiteful, angry women. If there is a chance she thought she was helping, I'd like to know that.
Just angry and upset. Harming anything for no reason at all is totally unacceptable to me.
Right now, I can't move. Throwing them out is not exactly an option either. Any suggestions at all?
I spent the majority of my life working with children. Neglected, juvenile delinquents and disadvantaged etc., yet never before have I encountered children like these.

This will be the 3rd time I have posted I keep getting booted, so if you got other 2 by accident I apologize.
I have an idea but.............You know I am in the same pickle barrel you are rain.
Jim still lives here with his girlfriend.
I have one simple rule......IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.
I know that sounds harsh but........Since mom and her reside with you it is up to you to discipline for this one.
Maybe some community service work while she listens to the mama bird crying would be in order. Raking, weeding, etc etc
I asked my son's girlfriend what she would do to her dtr if she did this to me and she said I don't know mom, I only know if I ever did that to my grandma she would skin me alive quote unquote.
Take Care Buddy
You are in my prayers.
