We were talking about my sister the other day.
Seems either her washer or dryer died, and she called mom & dad to not only bring her a new one but to dispose of her dead one.
Mom was just saying how wrong that is of a 23 year old woman who is living on her own. (I agree) She is, as far as I can tell, financially dependant on them.
Then, mom made some kind of comment about how me & my husband aren't self sufficient. Excuse me? She said, because of our tent, we are not self sufficient.
Let me get this right. You've co signed every loan my sister takes out, financially pay her bills, bought her 4 vehicles (whereas only bought me 2), bought the washer & dryer, replaced whichever broke, don't say a word to her about any of this.
Yet, because we camp out 2x a year and yes a whole 2x a year ask them to help us put up a tent (a small tent that mind you doesn't take more than 3 hours a YEAR to put up), mike & I aren't self sufficient?
I think mom's been forgetting her medication again. :mad:
((nope I'm not saying that cus I'm mad, seriously she has a huge mood changes when she forgets her medication))
