0:10.0	Triumph 111. Kelly, welcome to the program.
0:14.0	Good afternoon, Dr. Lawerson. Thank you so much for taking my call and honor speak with you.
0:20.0	Thank you. I have a question that I think you just make things so simple sometimes and I'm hoping this is that.
0:29.0	So my hard time today doing that. All right, I'll try.
0:36.0	Okay fingers crossed for me. So my sisters and I won't hate holidays. You know, I will do Thanksgiving and a sister does Easter and then I have a sister that does Christmas and the sister that does Christmas as a single mom.
0:50.0	Her daughter is 13. We spend as supportive as we can.
0:54.0	We never never married. We support her for not sucking my niece into a sink.

2:04.0	We've kind of checked on the house from time to time and it's not gotten better.
2:10.0	She's not currently employed. I don't know what she does all day, but she's not taking care of the house.
2:17.0	And so we want to have a conversation with her.
2:20.0	My mom and my sister went and talked to the priest and the priest said, no, don't go have your Christmas in a kennel.
2:25.0	You're not expected to do that and you need to tell her that you don't want to do that.
2:29.0	And you should write a letter and then you all sign it.
