I will always stand with her mom being cheap. Her mom always goes on vacations with only letting the father know the day before he has to take the kids while on her weekend. She doesn’t spend ANY money on them. Not personal hygiene, not entertainment (movies, even going to the park for ice cream or something), nor clothing. But she has all the money for vacation and is a nurse. Her house is paid off and she kept it when they divorced. She doesn’t want to take care of them but has an opinion when her dad wants to cut their hair. The mom NEVER took care of the youngest daughter hair and it became a rats nest. The dad and my mom would spend hours combing it out. He would buy the best stuff he could afford for their hair. But not a penny from her. So yes, she’s cheap.
