Up Date on helping me stop judging my lazy sister

Dear IM's,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time in your lives to comment and try and help me, how ever i feel i must respond to the amount of people who are calling foul on calling family services.
If i believed that ANY child was being neglected or abused in any way shape or form, i believe that it is our social responsibility to the CHILDREN to call in help, regardless of relationship to the parents, and this 'But she is family"excuse is a FAILING to the children in these terrible situations.
in regards to my sister, While her house is always filthy and in my mind not enough time and effort is put into providing and teaching the necessity of healthy foods, there is always food in the house for the children to eat and they themselves are clean so i do not feel that calling family services is in anyway justified.
I wrote this post asking for help in dealing with MY issues of judging, as after many many years of helping my sister, cleaning her house, caring for her children ect i have come to to realization that she will not change and has different standards to me, and as i love her with all my heart and soul, i want her in mine and my children's lives. There for it is me that needs to change, as you can not truly help someone unless they want to change.
And finally to Tammy Smith. Firstly thank you for standing up for your friend and putting out there to all the other mothers (myself included) who do judge a person based on their home and lifestyle, explaining what she is may be dealing with. However after looking over your profile and that of my sisters, i can not find any mutual friends between us or you, so i can with some certainty say that you do not know myself or my sister. So i truly feel sorry for your friend who you have no doubt just alienated from her sister as she appears to need all the support she can muster.

And can i please point out now that it becoming Queensland health policy to sedate children for major dental work when under 6 years of age now, so there is a number of family's on the waiting list for this as before now they had to wait for the children to become old enough to stay still in the dental chair.

I didn't get the vibe of neglect from your post at all- I posted about my brother - who is similar in a lot of ways and how he was with his step lids and how his ex was- just like I said focus on positives- say good things about her to people stop using language to tear her down even if you don't mean it or want to say something negative
