My husband and I borrowed $300 from my 14 year old cousin over the summer. He was working with my husband and living with us. We used it for food since we had seven children in our home...not all ours and sorta not by choice.
At the end of the summer his dad came back for him and his brother. Two weeks later he wound up in jail for having meth on him. Because my uncle is a convict the charge was a felony. As time has gone his bail has dropped from $45000 to $500. So $50 will bond him out.
So my cousin knew I got a grant last Friday and wants his money, of course. I know if I give it to him in full he'll bail his dad out, his dad will take whats left and go blow it on meth.
Do you think it's crappy to dole out $25 every two weeks to my cousin so he has spending money in his pocket while he's in school & stuff but not enough to bail his dad out?? What would you do??
