Last week, my mom 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: told me her sister had asked if she wanted to 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: go see another show, and my mom agreed, not knowing 36 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: when they were booking tickets. A few days later, I 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: take the kid to my mom's and she says this, So, 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: I haven't told you about Sister Act.

Uh, Mom, 46 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: I'll just have to figure something else out. Then, Mom, 47 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: I was worried your dad was going to be mad 48 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: at me, but he's fine. 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: Uh. 50 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: He still wants the kids and I've organized your sister 51 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: to help with the baby. 52 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: What. No, I'll come up with something because the sisters 53 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: garbage and taking care of kids. She's a stinky sister. 54 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: Stinky sister, and I hate her even though her job 55 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: is to take care of children. That's wild. Yeah, you 56 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: don't want your sister who's witch is terrible for all 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: the children that she's diaying again. 58 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: Right, Mom? No, No, No, it's all fixed. She's very excited. 59 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: All she has to do is bottles and put her 60 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: to bed. I was quiet. I wasn't happy, but I 61 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: needed to talk to my husband. We were also having 62 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: the same issues with his dad, so I wasn't comfortable 63 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: having his parents mind the kids either. I went home 64 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: and spoke to my husband. We both agreed that my 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: sister would not be watching the kids. She lives twenty 66 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: minutes away and hasn't attempted to see my kids since January. 67 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: We also didn't want the kids going to my in laws, 68 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: so we now have two options. Number one, my mother 69 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: in law could watch the kids at home. Also Op 70 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: be saying mind to the kids, but I think that's maybe. 71 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: Like British mining. Okay, there you go. 72 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: And number two, my husband could stay home and I 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: take someone else to the show, most likely my mother 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: in law. 75 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: Dude, that would suck. Happy to take your mother in 76 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: law to Hamilton? Or that's right, that'd be great. 77 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: But this is the first time they've been able to 78 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: get out since they're sef kid was born, and like 79 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: just the excitement of like, I finally get to be 80 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: alone with my significant other. 81 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: No baby, spicy sleep afterwards, you know, Hamilton and get 82 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: everything going and. 83 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: Excited those theater chairs lean all the way back. 84 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 2: Oka. Oh God, doing a job. 85 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: So I understand that my mom fixed her issue, but 86 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: she did so without discussing with me first. She organized 87 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: my kids without including me in the conversation, and I 88 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: am not happy about that. So I'm gonna run this 89 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: down real quick to make sure I understand. Do you 90 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: understand fully what's going on here? 91 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: But here here's what I understand. Yes, uh, OPI and 92 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: her sister don't get along. Op was trying to have 93 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: a night out with the husband and the two plays 94 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: are at the same same time, which means the mother 95 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: in law can no longer mind the kids, though. 96 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: The mom could I think it's her mom, not the 97 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: mother in law. 98 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: The same mom here, okay, so maybe it's mom. Yeah, 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: I think I think it is her mom. So it's 100 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: but then and she would be like, oh, take my 101 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: mother in law because my mom is busy. 102 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: She's doing the mom was supposed to watch the kids, 103 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: but she busy. 104 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: Okay. So basically it feels like OP is like, I, 105 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: under no circumstances, want my sister taking care of the kids, 106 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: which we don't have clarity on why she just allegedly sucks, 107 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: allegedly sucks, allegedly doesn't like them. It is her professional 108 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: job to take care of kids. But for some reason, 109 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 2: OPI is like, nah, don't not my kids. 110 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I wonder if this is one of those stories where 111 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: the other person comes in and is like, actually, the 112 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: original OP. 113 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: Was totally yeah, yeah, probably not. But I want to 114 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: know why you don't want your sister to be in 115 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: what's the context? Give us context?

Wow? Okay, So right now, I don't know 219 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: why she doesn't want the sister to mind the kids. 220 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 2: It seems like a fine solution unless there's something that 221 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 2: is terrible that we don't know about the kids. It 222 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: feels like it's fine. The only thing that we have 223 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: actual knowledge of is that the sister hasn't made time 224 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: to see the kids in the last five months, and 225 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: so ops, like you need to make time to see 226 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: the kids before you have earned the right to mind 227 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: the kids.

Absolutely, let's chat with Valid Lily's Valley Lily. Hey, yeah, 355 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: we can't loud and clear. So yeah, what are your 356 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: thoughts on the story? 357 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I'm the oldest of four girls. Okay, 358 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 4: so I got a lot of opinions about how you're 359 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 4: not the friends with your sisters. 360 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: Yes, and that's very natural. 361 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm forty and forty six now and I was 362 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 4: beyond forty before I become friends with my oldest sister. 363 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: Wow, So is there a world in which you understand 364 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: op not her children to be watched by him or her. 365 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 4: Sure, And two of my sisters can always babysit any 366 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 4: of my kids. They spend summer holidays with them, they 367 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 4: visit me, I visit them. But then there's the last sister. 368 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 4: She's a little social and she is a great aunt, 369 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 4: that's not it. She doesn't spend much time with my youngest, 370 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 4: so my youngest doesn't know her. She's five, and I 371 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 4: wouldn't leave my daughter with her and not in the 372 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 4: way his mother would write, keep her. 373 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: And it's because your youngest doesn't really have a relationship 374 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 2: with your that that specific sister, and you're thinking maybe 375 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: your youngest would be uncomfortable being around that sister just 376 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: because there's not that familiarity there. I'm very curious. I'm 377 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: very curious to kind of close it out. 378 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: If you were in a similar scenario where it was, 379 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: let's say your sister that you don't really have, that 380 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: the kids don't have a relationship with, but then also 381 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: your your dad was there, would you be like, hey, 382 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let I'm not gonna have the kids 383 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: do that and go and go no for them. 384 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 4: Oh, my youngest at all, my dad at a distance. 385 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: Okay, I see, fair enough, fair enough, okay, how about 386 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: all right? Another question for you, one more question. Would 387 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 2: you close it out? If you had a the choice 388 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 2: between a random babysitter off like one of the I 389 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 2: don't know babysitting websites, and your sister, which would you choose? 390 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 4: I would stay home. 391 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: I love that val. 392 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 4: It has to be an emergency emergency. I would do 393 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 4: it my sister, no question to ask, but from my entertainment. 394 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: Now got you fair enough, fair enough, good points. Thank 395 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: you Vally for thanks for calling it. 396 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 3: Also real quick, validly, your profile picture on YouTube looks 397 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 3: just like my aunt, and I thought, yeah, for the 398 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 3: longest time, that is so funny. 399 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 4: I tried to change it. I'm sorry, I tried to 400 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: change it, but they won't. 401 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I like it. Fantastic, it's like family. Awesome, 402 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: thanks Val. I'm kind of little silly, So let's go. 403 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: Thank you for coming on. That's awesome. 404 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, I'm going to say good night now 405 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 4: it's midnight here, Oh why. 406 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: Sleep, have a good one. Awesome, Okay, So a little 407 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 2: bit like I think against our perspective, a little bit 408 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: like Vally Lily is more like, if I don't have 409 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 2: a relationship with that person, I'm not gonna let my 410 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 2: kids be minded by them. I wonder though, if. 411 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: Like bally Lily just doesn't have a good relationship and 412 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: they haven't built that rapport. I wonder if that's the 413 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: same with O P sister M. 414 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a similar scenario. Well, yeah, that bally Lily 415 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: just described, that's that's yeah. So I think like she 416 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 2: she kind of had the opposite opinion of us, where 417 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: she's like, yes, I understand not wanting to have someone 418 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: minded by a family member that they don't really know. 419 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 2: But the thing that might be different in this story 420 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: situation is maybe the child has a good relationship with 421 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 2: the dad, whereas vally Lily is like the kids just 422 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: love the dad at a disc or my at it 423 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: a distance. Yeah, so I think there's there's a lot 424 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: of difference. But I think the main thing is if 425 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: you would allow a babysitter that you don't really know 426 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 2: that well, or as well as maybe one of like 427 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 2: that family member to babysit your kids, it's kind of 428 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 2: the same as allowed well. 429 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: I will say generally, the process of finding a babysitter 430 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: is like through through interviews and like the level of 431 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: and like oftentimes like babysitting with the parents there before. 432 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: So it is kind of a process where you get 433 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: some level of like seeing them interact with the kids. 434 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just got someone else. I don't know if 435 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: we want to do two calls, but little Udon twenty 436 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: three just hit me up and said, I can tell 437 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: you right now that all childcare workers do not like 438 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 3: or care for kids from personal experience. 439 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: Wait, all childcare workers hate kids. 440 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 3: That's what that's what you said. 441 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: I was a childcare worker and I love kids. I 442 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: judo through special ed kids for a summer and I 443 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 2: love each of those. 444 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 3: They might not be as amazing as you guys. 445 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but that disproves that. Yeah, it proves the statement. 446 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly everyone. But we'll just do one call in 447 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: per per story and I wait, that's the end of 448 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: that episode.

So she's like, hey, yeah, 496 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 2: my fricking room. Dad. He said he'd be back at six. 497 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 2: I have a cousin who's only a few months younger 498 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: than me, and that lives next door to my aunt, 499 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: and I went over to the house because I didn't 500 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: feel comfortable being home alone. Sometime during my visit, she said, hey, 501 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: you know B, we were calling her. B said you 502 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 2: could stay at her house. She has a spare room. Okay. 503 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: I then proceeded ask who B was. Who is B? 504 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 2: It turned out she was my older cousin, who I 505 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 2: had never met. He offered to take me over to 506 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 2: talk to her. She was really nice and said if 507 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 2: I helped clean out the room out, it was mine 508 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: and my cat could stay. Too big enough for the 509 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 2: whole family. That's a pretty good deal. When I got 510 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 2: back to my aunt's house around four, she still wasn't home, 511 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: but her fiance and children were. We chatted for about 512 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 2: ten minutes before my mom pulled into the driveway. What's 513 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: with these parents always pulled into the driveway. She's like, 514 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 2: there's a trifay for me to pull in and doing 515 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 2: my bigotry everywhere. She came inside and told me I 516 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: was going home with her right now, or she was 517 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: calling the cops. Take up your mind? Are you kicking 518 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: her out? 519 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 3: Or? 520 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: God? She said, they may not be able to do 521 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 2: anything to me, but if they came, they'd take my 522 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: aunt's children away from her. Maybe it's because, like, like, 523 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 2: you know, holding some kidnapping. God give me a break. 524 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: My aunt's trailer had some problems that she'd been working 525 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 2: on getting fixed and that are now corrected, which I 526 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: guess maybe they could use against her. Her fiance told 527 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 2: me that I could stay and that he wasn't worried, 528 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 2: but I was my aunt and her family or my 529 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: whole world, and my mother knew exactly what she was 530 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: doing and threatening them. I felt I had caused enough 531 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 2: problems and went home with my mother. Now I love 532 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 2: to read. I had a very large book collection, totaling 533 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: in around three thousand dollars. Three thousand dollars a lot. 534 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 2: That's a lot of books. Bro, It's like a hundred bucks. 535 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 2: You smart, you smart? You were smarty pants over here. 536 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: All of my books were in my car, as I 537 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 2: had no intention on leaving them. When I got to 538 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: the house with my mother, the rest of the family 539 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: was sitting in the yard around a huge pile of 540 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 2: my books. Oh my god, what's going on? And they 541 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: were burning all the books like a big family bonding experience. 542 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: What the fuck is wrong? Wow? When they finished, my 543 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: parents came into my old room and interrogated me. When 544 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 2: the questions got close to my brother fifteen mail, who 545 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: is bisexual, I refused to answer and wouldn't tell them 546 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 2: why what. When they wouldn't drop it, I grabbed my 547 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 2: shoes and left on foot. I asked my neighbor to 548 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: call my aunt and cut to come get me, but 549 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: my mom met us outside before she got the chance. 550 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 2: She said she'd take me back to my aunts after church, 551 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: so I again left my mother. Dude, Ope, this sucks actually, 552 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: Like you're trying to think, like, what do you do 553 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: in this situation right now? Yeah, I'm building up a 554 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: response as we're going through it. It's like maybe trying 555 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 2: to get a part time job and just like leave 556 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,479 Speaker 2: and get money while you're living with your aunts. Suck. Hopefully, 557 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: hopefully one of these family members seems like the cousin 558 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 2: she doesn't know as well or the aunt, like hopefully 559 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: some sort of configuration there. But it seems like some 560 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 2: of the family members are are our supportive, our supportive. Yeah, 561 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: she said she'd take me back to my aunt's after church, 562 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 2: so again left with my mother. True to her word, 563 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 2: after a horrendous church service, she took me back to 564 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 2: my aunt's. She said she'd pick me up for work 565 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 2: in the morning and to have my bags packed because 566 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 2: I was staying home after that. The next day, at work, 567 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: Bee's brother told me to send her the address and 568 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 2: she'd come get me when she got off work. Though 569 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: I didn't know who be was. It became very clear 570 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: that my parents did when she came to pick me up. 571 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: Oh I wish I still had pictures of the holes 572 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 2: my father left in the wall because he was that 573 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: mad that he just freaking went hulk on that shit. God. 574 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 2: I've been staying with Bee, her brother, and her long 575 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 2: term girlfriend for about three months now, and I've never 576 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 2: been happier. I have a semi okay relationship with my 577 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: parents as I'm trying to be the bigger person. Okay, 578 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 2: So like Op, he's now staying in a better place good. 579 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 2: She's with her family, who seem much more accepting. The 580 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: problem is we have all decided to move about two 581 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 2: hours away, so the movie two hours away from their parents. 582 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 2: I'm really excited, but I don't know how to approach 583 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: the subject with my parents. I want to tell them 584 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 2: of it before we move, because I don't want to 585 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: harm the relationship, but I have a few concerns. One 586 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: B is more than okay with me telling my parents, However, 587 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: she doesn't want the whole family inner business, namely my uncle, 588 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: my mom's brother, but I know my parents are going 589 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: to tell everybody. And Two, I'm not eighteen yet I 590 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 2: won't be for a few more months. So can my 591 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: parents take legal action? We aren't moving out of state 592 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: and I have been collecting mail here, but I'm still 593 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: a minor can take legal action? Is there any way 594 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: to prevent them from doing so? Please help? Okay, okay, 595 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 2: we really loved help. We were not lawyers. We are not. 596 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 2: But something I do know is you can get emancipated 597 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: from your parents. Yeah, I'm not really sure how that works. 598 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: Let's see emancipation. So it's not easy to get emancipated 599 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: from your parents when you're under eighteen. Emancipation is a 600 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: legal process that gives a minor of the right to 601 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 2: make their own decisions and be responsible for their own 602 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: well being. In most states, you have to be at 603 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: least eighteen to be emancipated. However, there are some limited 604 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 2: circumstances under which a minor can be emancipated before the 605 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 2: age of eighteen. These circumstances vary by state, but they 606 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: conclude being married, being on active military duty, or being 607 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 2: self supporting and financially independent. Okay, so join the army, 608 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 2: get a bee, or be financially independent if you're seven, 609 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: Oh go ahead, Oh yeah, sorry to cut you, but 610 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: I don't know anything about any thing. But I I 611 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: feel like you have a decent case for emancipation here. 612 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: I think you do. I think you do. I mean 613 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: you could also wait it out, you know, however long 614 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: it is, but because I imagine the legal process to 615 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 2: emancipate yourself might take more than that. Yeah, that's that's 616 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 2: actually a great point. 617 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I probably, like this is again, we 618 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: are not the experts or whatever, but if I'm like thinking, 619 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: if I'm in your shoes, I would probably just move 620 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: with them, and like, luckily, like there's only a few 621 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: months left, so I think like after those few months, 622 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: you should be in the clear. 623 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough one. Yeah. The thing is because like, 624 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 2: if you're seventeen, your parents have legal right to make 625 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: decisions about your care and custody until your turn eighteen, 626 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: so they can decide who you will live with. That's true. 627 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 2: But a minor who is seventeen may be able to 628 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 2: petition the court for a change in their living rage arrangements, 629 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: which is known as custody modification or change of custody. 630 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: Interesting but yet to prove to the where that there's 631 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: good reasons for the change. Yeah, I mean, there's great 632 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 2: evidence like this podcast, this podcast. Hey, this in your 633 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: petition for a man. 634 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: If we get we used in court, that would be crazy. 635 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: But I would look into those options. It seems like 636 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: you've you've found a family member and be willing to 637 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: take you in. You know, you're already working like it's 638 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: it seems like you're on your path of independence. So 639 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: I would keep researching and trying to join the military, 640 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: or join the military, or get married army strong, but 641 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: above be financially Hey, if you join the military, you 642 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: will be financially independent, and people in the military get. 643 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: Buried very quickly. This is true. 644 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: You'll probably you'll get all three. Dude trying to be 645 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: a independent military wife. Hey, isn't that the dream? 646 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 2: That's the dream.
