This is mainly a vent post, so feel free to ignore if you want. I won't mind. >__<
My cousin is supposed to be getting married next month and my family had been planning to go for a long time. We had already RSVP'd and everything but today my dad found out that he was getting a MAJOR pay-cut at work. The reason for this was because, while his department has been doing fine money-wise, the other one hadn't, and the company had a choice to either start laying off A BUNCH of people from that group or do pay cuts for the entire company and..well...you can guess the rest. ;>__>
The thing is tho, my family is already really tight right now because of the way the economy is and everything. I mean, we're having to cut down on EVERYTHING, it's just nuts. And now that my dad has that pay cut it's down to either
1: We go to my cousin's wedding and I don't go to college. >__>
Or!
2: I go to college and we don't go to the wedding. ;>__>
I feel SO BEYOND guilty. Mainly because...my mom's family isn't the most understanding people in the world. They think that my dad 'came from money', 'married down' when he married my mom and that everything has always come easy for us, which is NOT TRUE AT ALL.
And I know that when my mom calls them and says that we can't go, they aren't going to understand and throw this huge fit and...my mom shouldn't have to deal with that. She's already been through enough junk already.
It's not going to be fun.
