Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM.

Triumph 111. Kelly, welcome to the program.

Good afternoon, Dr. Lawerson. Thank you so much for taking my call and honor speak with you.

Thank you. I have a question that I think you just make things so simple sometimes and I'm hoping this is that.

So my hard time today doing that. All right, I'll try.

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.

Her daughter is 13. We spend as supportive as we can.

We never never married. We support her for not sucking my niece into a sink.

But you know, we're glad that she had her and we love her very much and support the best that we can.

What happened is so she got my niece a puppy and you know puppy peas and tubes in the house and they don't really take care of the house.

And so last Christmas, apparently Christmas Eve, she had decided before we all got their Christmas day for dinner to rip the carpet up.

And so cut the carpet when we got there, she was stressed out, you know, the house smells of dogs, puppy urine and feces and theater refrigerators.

She hadn't cleaned out so there was a smell of rotting food, but she'd set the nice table.

So we all sat at the table and ate our dinner on the spywood floor. It's my husband and I.

My other sister has five children and so it was them and her husband and then my mom.

So my other sister and my mom have talked and we don't want our families to have that kind of Christmas this year.

We've kind of checked on the house from time to time and it's not gotten better.

She's not currently employed. I don't know what she does all day, but she's not taking care of the house.

And so we want to have a conversation with her.

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.

You're not expected to do that and you need to tell her that you don't want to do that.

And you should write a letter and then you all sign it.
