According to my sister, Crazy Stripper won't leave. She says she's not letting the baby go, either. Nephew won't leave their car and wants money to fix it so he can bring them home.
They won't answer the hotel phone and they have no cell phone. I want to talk to the idiots to see if I can convince nephew to take the baby and get on a fucking bus (which is less than $300).
unfortunately, I think that you should refuse to send them money.
You may consider talking to the mechanic and pay him/her directly (after receiving an estimate in writing)
If they're not going to answer the phone, how are they going to get the money?
They're supposed to call my sister again tonight about the money. My offers are this: 1) I give my sister the money to go get them. 2) I buy bus tickets for them to come home or 3) I offer to keep the baby for a few weeks until they get an apartment or get back to Indiana on their own.
I think that's more than fair, Cash. I feel for you, for your sister, even them... but especially for the kiddo.
Those are good options, Cash. I hope they can see that.
I agree with all those who like the plan, Cashmere, I hope the family drama lessens for you soon.
What a mess, Cashmere. You make a good plan.
gold star for Cashmere, best relative award.
I know the weather sucks, and everything closes down early, and we are still subject to the most random blue laws, but GODDAMN I love my state
