THings that make me go hmmm

We have a visitor with us this weekend! Xander is in Heaven!

But something just makes me go hmmmm....

Child tells us that he received play station 3 for Christmas, ipod touch, plus he was flown here to Denver with Mother. Mother is staying in Marriott, and rented car for the weekend and then flying home with child on Sunday.

Family A pays Family B a big child support check every month, that makes Family A qualify for Medicaid.

Yet Family B, claims they make only $15.00 an hour, has not had a raise in 10 years and her Dad is her Boss.

Yet Boss can afford to give child 25,000 for down payment for house, Takes family on Disneyland Vacation every year, Has Lifetime membership in Condo club and 5+ Season tickets to University of Utah football games, which they also go to away games.

But Family A is paying almost $1,000 a month in child support because Family B makes so little.

And that is why sometimes things make me go hmmmm......

But I am thankful for my testimony and knowledge of the Gospel and I know if we continue to be honest, pay our tithing and do our best. We will be blessed. And like I told Jeremy the other night, I would rather have a wonderful husband and father for my children then "things".

So if family B, feels good about how they report their income and what they are doing, so be it.
But sometimes it just makes me go hmmm.

Doesn't it make you also feel good that your parents are honest and taught you that, too?! :) You're awesome. Really!
