I hate that. Brings that awful sick feeling inside.
Sometimes people just have no idea there's any other way. So sad.

Symphony,

This is such a hard situation.  Because, if you do call Child Services, they may just take the kids straight away and put them in foster care, but the things she is saying to her kids are causing horrible damage. I wonder if you could call them and not make a complaint right away but talk to someone about getting her counseling or financial support. She may be desperate, but if she keeps on, her kids are getting abused with emotional scars. 

I can guarantee it.  A four-year-old doesn't remember what his parents said to him, but the feeling of inadequacy and depression stay all our lives, and leaves scars.    A kid knows if his mom loves him and whether she's depressed or not, different culture or not, that's not love.

God bless you, Symphony...

If I were you, I'd call social services.  Mental and emotional abuse are just as damaging to children as physical abuse.  If you suspect she may have severe depression, this might be the best thing you can do for all of them.  I too, have a neighbour who constantly shouts at his wife and children...Drives me bloody well crazy and many is the time I've wanted to dash next door and tell him to grow up and act his age.  Who knows?  One of these days I may well go over there and put his lights out for him....Would serve him right!!

Sorry you and your children have to put up with this...Hope you find some peace and quiet soon.  Keep me posted.

God bless.

I agree, gypsyredhead33!
I would never listen to anybody who was shouting at me, I think maybe I should report her as it does happen very often...I should tell my mum...she looks after people with learning difficulties, so she works for social services just a different apartment...thanks for reading and sharing....

Symph...
They're learning that's the way to communicate. It is a shame. I don't listen when someone yells at me and I know exactly how they feel. Scared and low. Someone should report her. Verbal and emotional abuse is just as devastating to a child as physical.
