The newspaper I'm editing covers the southern part of the county, so they would like me established in that area. I, technically, can live wherever I choose...but, I have to factor in drive time and the snow...I will have an office in the southern part of the county and I need to be close enough to get to D12 when needed, quickly.
I am certain I will ask D20 to contribute...I just am unsure what is a fair amount to ask of a 20-year-old. I want her to be able to afford college courses too.
I know it will all work out. It's just getting it figured right now, no a short time frame.
As far as asking my dad. I've had to ask him for so much help in the past. He always waits until I ask. Never offers. I wouldn't put it past him to cut Smokey's b'day money this month in an effort to pressure me ASK. He loves it when I have to ask for help. It kinda [censored]. So, my sis and bro are both married and get double the amount for b'days than I do. I'm raising two kids alone and Dad knows that Smokey refuses to contribute to D20's living expenses at all.
This is more about me just venting about my crazy family and realizing I can't change a damn thing where they are concerned. I DONT WANT TO ASK FOR HELP AGAIN. DAMMIT.
Oh, and mom spent the weekend at her old house helping Stepdad out with the dog because he went away for the weekend. "I will come an help, maybe next week..." I'm sick of all of em.
What other options do I have?
