trouble at home.

Posted 09-02-2009 at 05:22 PM by mr.odd
My dad is taking a trip to Wyoming for a few days for our so called "family tradition", which we broke long ago. Well this trip is costing us around $300 if not more, plus my "free education" is costing another $300. My mom is irritated that hes spending this kind of money when we're already having trouble paying the payments for his new truck and our ATVs.
The Bank threatened to repo the truck saying that we missed a payment, which didn't. My dad threatened to never do business with then again because they screwed up. the next day they apologised for the mix up and knocked off a few payments so we wouldn't go to a different bank. Even though that helped us a bit, we're still having trouble paying the bills.
And whats really making my mom mad, is the fact that he tells us not to spend so much money when he takes more trips with his friends. but it's not his ideas to go on these trips, it's mostly his friends and my grandma who keeps talking him into it. And yes, my granny is responsible for the trip to Wyoming.
She keeps saying it's a family tradition and we shouldn't waste time on other things. Now don't get me wrong, i love my grandma but she can some times be... selfish. Half my uncles and aunt's don't go because its to much for them as well and as for the ones that do go, well they just can't stand it.

Any way, I'm not going because i don't dare miss a day of school. and my little brother has school as well(Also his schooling is costing us too), so my dad is going alone. I know he just wants to have fun, but with the bills, the schooling, and all the basic living needs, this is just not the time.

Wtf is there to see in Wyoming? Tumbleweeds and roadkill. Sounds like one helluva family tard-ition.

Tell your folks to manage their money and that Wyoming is hardly worth it. Talk to me when you're going to Fiji.

That's why almost nobody wants to go. were just doing it to please granny. things would be fine if my dad would take less trips and stop spending money we don't have. my mom can't get a job because she has to take care of my little bro.

wow... A father who doesn't care about ending on the street and a mother who doesn't know how to say no?


Seems like you're the only one who can save yourselves out of this mess... But i think you're more like the kid who sees it all happening but doesn't say anything.


.... This reminds me of a movie that I've seen.


PS: Why doesn't your grandma pay since she's the one wanting him over so much?

I lived in Cody, Wyoming for short while as a tot. Had an incident with a moose which I don't remember.

Tell your Pop that he should really consider taking a roadtrip to the Hawaiian islands with you and everyone.
