Maybe you could manage one more gift - for your cousin - Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover"...It might open her eyes. ;)

These are wonderful ideas!!! I think I am going to do the big thing and let it go, no matter how much I'd really rather just smack her in the head! A few years ago, she was borrowing money from family like no bodys business. It's strange how she somehow forgot how she was more needy than I am at this time! We havent borrowed anything and the state doesn't help us at all! It's me and him all the way! I think that's something to be proud of and we are extremely proud of that!!!!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent!;)

I too would probably have the urge to just giver her a good thump on the head!
But family is just that way--I too have the urge to wanna thump a family member today-why do family insult you and then want to change the subject and tell ya to drop it, like they never said it?

I would totally want to give the financial lecture she might need, but it's nice she was thinking of you and wanting to help :)

Perfect!

I am glad that you are just going to let it go because she probably really did mean well....sometimes we open our mouths with the best of intentions and things just don't come out right.

:frow You could point her in my direction! A milk cow is at the top of my list if she wants to help out! :lol:

I agree it would be humiliating and frustrating though. There is NOTHING wrong with kids sharing!

i would have had the overwhelming urge to say "you're probably going to need to squirrel that money away for when you declare bankruptcy from all the credit card debt and large living." i PROBABLY would have been able to stop myself from actually saying it, but i'm not totally sure about that...
