For the kids prom season is around the corner, if you ever had one you know its a very overwhelming pressure because you want everything right.

My daughter junior prom is coming up in may but for these pass months we've ben planning it, it took time because she didn't know what color she wanted until she decided on red with diamonds on it. I have a friend that makes dresses, my daughter and I flew to Trinidad to get her size for the dress.

We didn't get the dress right away because my friend had other dresses to make so when it was ready it would be sent to us, other than that we believed we had everything good.

My sister wants my niece to go on prom, my sister never went to prom because at that time she was dealing with her no good boyfriend so she missed an opportunity. Its my niece senior year and ta lot of kids are going to prom, she didn't want to go at first but my sister made her change her mind. Her dad is not really on board with it because he think prom is a scam and not that important, its just a moment to remember.

The problem is my bio does not want to put the money in for anything and prom is next month so a lot of these dress parlors are booked and busy. So my sister has been picking up money from friends and some of family but she said its not enough, which is why she came to me. I have my daughter prom to worry about, whats paid and whats not.

My sister called me and asked if I can send her 500 hundred and I was appalled by her questions, I said no why to see what she says. Again, if I gave her the money she would still go out and ask other people. She said its for half of the dress, shoes, purse, and earrings. She's going for the most expensive things, I told her I was not sending her that. Which she got mad, she asked why do I have to be an asshole?
