The problem is they've been saving 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: up for this for years, and I hadn't been planning 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: and going. But they're making me feel guilty for not contributing. 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: It's a lot of money that I'd rather use on 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: things that matter to me, but I don't want to 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: look selfish. How do I tell them I'm not interested 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: in helping to fund the trip without causing a family feud? 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 2: That is, well, you don't tell them you're not interested 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: in helping fund the family vacation. You tell them you 12 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 2: can't afford the family vacation. See there's a difference. You've 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: got to fix your wording. I don't want to help 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 2: fund it. I need other things. Just say hey, look, 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, y'all. I just can't afford it. Too much 16 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: stuff has come up. I got this that pending, and 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: if I spend this money on vacation, I'm gonna be 18 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: in a world of trouble. 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: So forgive me, but I. 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: Can't some help if I'm goat and I don't even 21 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: think I'm gonna be able to go and how I 22 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: want to go, but I just can't. 23 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: Don't look like I'm a be able to go. 24 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 4: She doesn't like her family very much. Your family vacation 25 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 4: with her parents? Wow? 26 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Okay, well we have time for another one, Steve. This 27 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: is from Kevin on Steve Harvey FM. Kevin says, this 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: question is a sad one, but my wife and I 29 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: are beefing about how to handle it while she gets 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: on her feet after graduating from college. Our twenty three 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: year old daughter is living with us and she has 32 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: a pet cat. Yesterday she went off on a seven 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: day trip with some girlfriends, and today her beloved cat 34 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: passed away. 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 4: I think we should. 36 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: Tell her, but my wife doesn't want to because she 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: thinks it'll ruin her trip. 38 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: She's even suggested just burying it and telling her that 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 4: it ran away. 40 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: I think I feel like she's an adult and she 41 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: can handle it. 42 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: What's the best way to deal with this? How would 43 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 4: you say? 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 3: Is Steve? 45 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: Know you know a lot of people take their pets 46 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: real serious, so you got to handle this kind of gingerly. 47 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: I think the truth, even though I like the lie 48 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: the cat ran off. I like to tell the wife, 49 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: but I think it's best in this that people have 50 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: to learn, you know, this is life, it happens. I 51 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: think you should tell the truth. The cat died, and 52 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 2: this was number nine. Then this was number nine obviously, 53 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: because this was this is pretty final. He just sucked 54 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: up eight of them, and I think this was not 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: And obviously we didn't know about the other eight, because 56 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: this is it. Your cat is dead. This was number nine. Obviously, 57 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: that's how you yeah, because I'm you know, in case, 58 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: we need to put some humor in it. 59 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: I don't like cats, no damn way. So that's really 60 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: the best I could do. 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: Well, they give your advice. They asked specifically for your advice. 62 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: So why would you ask somebody don't care about cats. 63 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 4: He's supposed to know that. The guy that wrote the. 64 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: Letter, he was, okay, what would you?

The daughter lost the cat, but the 68 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: daughter went on vacation. And when she went on vacation, okay, 69 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: the cat died. 70 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: Daughter. 71 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: But she's twenty three.
