I partly agree with you Twister, to a degree. I would be more sympathetic but when one goes on and on and aquires more animals when they know they live with their parents and are dependent upon them for money, vet exams etc. it makes me angry. I have offered her advice about Emergency funds several times, as have other members here.

I waited until I was out of the house to aquire my pets because I knew I would not have had the money to take them to the vet, buy their food etc. and I did not want to rely on my mother to take care of it.
