Naughty or Nice

I've decided I'm too nice. When Mr. D & I got married, we did it in Vegas and 40 of our closest family and friends came. Well, Mr. D's lovely sister, brother-in-law, and neice, couldn't afford their full ticket and hotel. I knew how much it meant to him to have his sister there, who is 6 years older than him and should be wiser. I paid for their room & board. two words - NEVER AGAIN!!! It has been a year, and I have been getting $200 payments per month since March from them. In July a check bounced. In October the payments stopped. Well I've had it. It's been I'll send it when I get paid, nothing. Oh I gave it to my mom cause she said she'll see you. Nothing. Oh I'll send it out after I get paid, again nothing. I'll send it out in the morning and pay the rest after Christmas, nothing. Mind you there is only $427 left.

So today I got an e-mail. Is your Christmas shopping done yet? - from her. Yes it is, it's been done since October - Yup I rock -. Her reply "I am waiting on a check that was sent out on the 4th and is still isn't here. It was coming from PA, should have been here at least a week ago. Without that we are in big big trouble" and then "The power loss cost us everything in the fridge and freezer. That cost us tons to replace and with the car deductible repairs we just weren't in a good position and waiting on this check is killer. I had to pay for my two crows upfront and the dental insurance company reimburses us for it, so they have 2000 that I need ASAP. I have to pay the car and house payments."

So 2K is going to make everything better? really? you hired a professional photographer for family photos, which wasn't needed. You spend 13K in January because you thought that your taxes were going to be that much, and you got nothing because you owed the government so much. So yea. I'm tired of the sob story and the worst part is she wants to adopt 2 more baby boys in January and February, but she can barely afford to keep her house and car and her life, and plus her husband has no idea.

I have no sympathy.
