What ever happened with those semi-friends of y'all's who had kids and whose home was verging on squalor? Did you talk to them? I can't remember the details, but I know you were concerned about their LOs.

Still concerned but still not sure how involved to get. A couple of weeks ago the 3yo got out of their apartment, went down super unsafe stairs (like I don't even think the top step is up to code, not sure how they get around this but they do live in a shady place, so...) walked through a large apartment complex parking lot, past the pool and 3 other buildings, until the apt. manager noticed her walking outside the office window. Two sides of the complex are bordered by busy streets. The mom did not notice her 3yo was gone until the Manager brought her back.
And, during his last visit there, my DH broke down and cleaned the bathroom and kitchen. He said it wasn't a deep clean, just what he could do with the time he had but he was so disgusted he had to do something. Wife "we don't know why but we keep having to get the exterminator in here because the bugs won't go away" - maybe because you don't empty your huge, business sized trashcan ever, you have piles of sh*t everywhere, things are growing under the piles/in the kitchen, you don't even use one bathroom because it is even too disgusting for YOU, your daughters have to crawl around on piles of crap to get around their room - oh, I don't know, maybe some of those things are relevant to the bug situation. I don't even know where to go with this, what to say about the situation except yuck, omg, what about the kids, this sucks, etc.
Got to post and run, we were supposed to leave already to go to NB to see my mom. I'm oh-so-excited so I'm moving really slow to make that happen. Blah.
Thanks for asking.
That is so incredibly upsetting. I've thought about it more than a few times since your OP. I don't know what would be the best approach, strategically, in terms of inspiring or shaming them to get their sh!t together, but I would definitely sacrifice the friendship to speak out. Good of your DH to clean up! GL!
