What would you do in this situation I'm lost!

[Camno's Mama]

Ooo...that would have driven me crazy...the 300.00 on pics when she owes you that much. That does take nerve to tell you that!!!

I would count her out...sounds like drama and who wants drama on a vacation?

If she is on welfare, she isn't going to be going on a trip to WDW!! Face the facts and you will be happier for it.

We both work in our family and WDW is a once every couple of years deal...can't imagine asking someone on welfare to plan a trip to WDW.

Go with your family and enjoy yourselves!!!

I phoned her up after her getting upset with me9hanging up) she has told me she might be able to plane tickets some time in the first week of june but then stated she was basically using rent money so she'll be short! jeez she never will be able to pay for it. I highly doubt she's going so I went to my TA and asked her what to do she told me to have fun without her and nothing that I had planned will change even my adr's though I will be changing a few meals from ts to cs just because she wanted the kids to see the charictors. I'm also planning to use kids night out for me time if she doesn't go. I don't feel comfortable in taking her kids( 1 is 4 and 1 is 6 months). I have so had it with her using me that when she asked for me to pick up diaper wipes for her and she didn't have the money to pay (she didn't tell me that) I didn't give it to her. My DD could use them! I am now trying to pay off a debt that we have neglected for a while and we are ourself laying off any thing that we really don't need like toys and going out to eat often. I really don't think I can afford to pay for her share nor her kids she has done this to some one else but she claimed that the her friend just cancelled her vacation on her. I bet it was because 3 months out she had yst to put money on it!

Good for you Narnia! Stick to your decision & move forward.

No one can take advantage of you if you don't let them.

YOUR family is most important, focus on that & enjoy your
trip !

She is not going and she doesn't intend to repay you the $300.

I can't believe someone on welfare would even consider going to Disney, but then again good decisions aren't usually part of their repertoire. Let me guess she wants to stay at the Grand Floridian and eat at the California Grille too!

Your sister needs to get her priorities straight!

I'd understand if you were well off and she was in a little bind and you wanted to treat but it sounds like she is just another deadbeat living off of excessive taxes we all pay to our Marxist government.

Plan your trip without her and try to find her a job so she can contribute to society instead of sucking the life out of it like a parasite!

Honestly- this has to be a joke. I cannot believe that any sane person thinks that someone who is on welfare should be planning a WDW trip. I also cannot believe that the OP sincerely thinks this is possible, a smart choice, or even makes the slightest bit of sense. If you cannot afford the basics in life and have to resort to welfare then you have no business going on a trip anywhere! I cannot for the life of me believe that the OP is actually annoyed at this person! As for the $300 pictures, well if she was planning to go to WDW I am not really surprised. Glad to see the tax dollars at work and all that.

I would love to plan a trip with family but I know it would be a nightmare with them not wanting to commit, not enough money, no money, you name it. I refuse to put myself through that type of stress . Have a great time with your kids and don't expect anything of others.

OK she really hasn't gone about things the right way, she clearly doesn't have the money if she can't afford wipes and will have to use rent money to pay for any of it. In my opinion your job as her sister is to say "look I know you really want to go but you can't afford it" not get huffy cause she isn't coming. Now I know she should just come out and say this as well but maybe because you seem so annoyed at it all she feels she can't. Rather than helping her get further in debt by wanting her to come you could keep her out of debt by telling her not to.

Oh and just come straight out and say, how can you afford the kids pictures when you owe me $300?
