Hey guys. Just writing here because I feel I've exhausted all options and am just getting frustrated.

I'm a 33 year old single male. About 20 months ago my sister and her two daughters (now 6 and 4) were kicked out of her boyfriend/their father's home. He was physically abusive towards my sister and constantly cheated on her. I took them in to my house after that as I had the extra room.

As said, it's been around 20 months now, and my sister still hasn't gotten a job - or really put forth any serious effort into even looking for one. I don't charge her any rent or utilities, and she spends most of her child support check within a week or two leaving at least half the month where I'm buying whatever necessities her and the girls need. She also was convicted of a DUI 2 years ago and lost her license. She hasn't been financially able to get them back so I drive her everywhere she needs to go (as well as driving my older niece to school every morning).

That in and of itself, I don't mind, but the other side of the coin is that the house is filthy. I gave her the second bedroom in my house, and my nieces another to stay in. Both are now so cluttered with clothing, toys, and other junk that you cannot even see the floor. At any given time there are several dozen empty drinking glasses (and about as many empty soda cans) sitting around here room. The door to her bedroom will barely open wide enough for someone to fit through. The hallway bathroom has junk piled in the sink which literally hasn't been ran for months.

If I ask her - no matter how nicely, to clean up these rooms I basically get chewed and cursed out. Yesterday things kinda came to a head. She was supposed to get at least the girls room cleaned up over Christmas break. For the second half of the break the girls are gone to their dads and their toys they got for Christmas have to be able to go somewhere (right now they're all just piled up in my living room). She wasted away 2 of the 4 days they would be gone doing nothing. When I asked when she intended to start on the girls' room I was again chewed out, but she later said she'd do it today but she'd prefer to have the house to herself. I really didn't have anything I felt like doing, but as a courtesy I vacated the house and made myself scarce for around 7-8 hours. When I returned - she was on the iPad browsing Amazon and Facebook. The room was just as I left it. A heated argument ensued and she stomped out down the street.

To some degree I'm not sure what advice one can offer - maybe it's just a need for me to put my feelings down, but I'm feeling trapped right now. I cannot live like this in squalor for much longer. I come home from work and see my home and it kills me. I can barely get to sleep at night and its started to affect my mood and performance at work. At the same time, I love my nieces like they were my own children. When their dad kicked their mom out I made a promise to my older niece (who was quite upset over it) that "Uncle Bubba" would never make her leave, and I don't have the heart to do that.

Right now I can honestly say that if it was just my sister, I'd have already asked her to go. With my nieces though they are just innocent children, but if I kick her out she really has no where to go, and they naturally get dragged along with her. I just feel trapped.

Anyways, thanks for listening.
