It doesn't work that way. I have been left of out things because we couldn't afford it. We were in college and broke. She has time to save for it.


We'll have to agree to disagree on this.
It doesn't work that way in our family. Most don't have enough to help her out. The ones that do have already helped a lot. She won't be asking them to help her.

no money at all. She says her car breaks down on all road trips. That is why I need to drive.

I'm with forget it. I've done 12 hours in a day once. 16 hours no way not unless we're getting a motor home. It's just not happening. And not with someone that won't at least help me with gas. I've been broke and done cheap ass staycations because I had to. It isn't great but it's what it is.

She wants to see her niece get married and to spend time with family. I don't see that as frivolous.

Any trip you can't afford is frivolous. The wedding is in April and she has plenty of time to save or get her car fixed. Its not up to her family toprovide vacations for her

We obviously have different opinions about this. Nothing wrong with that.

I wouldn't do it either. That's just crazy that she would even ask that of you.

Yeah, that's a big no from me too. She basically is saying she wants you to foot the bill for her to go.
