How would you respond to this text
 
Hey its megan...I was wondering if u can help me out cuz i have 2 pay 4 his circomsition and i dont have it...If u cant i understand i just dont have any1 else to ask.

This was sent to me from a friends pregnant girl. He is incarcerated due to his own ignorance. This is the second time she has asked for money. Me and my wife are college students with 2 kids. How would you respond to this text. Man we struggle to make ends meet. I feel like my kindness is being mistaking for weakness.

Tell her that her son can always get it removed down the road.

A simple no would do it. I've been in your shoes and eventually, I had to let everyone know that "The Bank of Corey" closed. It affected some folks that considered themselves close friends but, when I can barely pay my own bills, I sure can't worry about someone elses!

In short, If they can't get it from the bank or family, it isn't your job to get it for them.

its not a necessity so tell them to save their favors for something that they may really need in the future

BIG RED 1983 02-28-2012 03:02 PM

This. Besides it isn't like circumcision is mandatory. I think that's pretty nervy to ask something like that of someone who isn't family.

Probably not going to use the money for what she is telling she needs it for.

This is my thoughts exactly. I sent the text to my wife. Lol. This should be interesting. How much does this procedure cost. I payed for my sons surgery but that was 6 years ago.

Loneshark 02-28-2012 03:17 PM

???? She has to pay in advance?

SaltERedneck 02-28-2012 03:18 PM

circumcisions are cosmetic anyways.... they can be done anytime. just easier and less likely for the kid to remember at a young age..... Tell em what you said in your post. you are two people struggling in school with 2 kids. end of discussion.

Insurances do NOT pay for circumcisions so this may be true... dont know the regulations on this but hospitals normally charge this as a total bill after the fact.

Outpatient services are a completely different story.

Let her borrow some scissors. Or set her up on a payment plan. One lump sum paid in full up front!!

I had to do the same thing as Corey a few years ago, now if they need grocery or diaper money, I offer to bring them groceries or diapers and they get pissed. Be careful this doesn't seem too legit, but she may be for real

Tell Megan to get a job and pick a better man next time.

SaltERedneck 02-28-2012 03:35 PM

A little SMEGMA never hurt anyone l m f a o :eek:

Armand16 02-28-2012 03:36 PM

Lake Chuck Duck 02-28-2012 03:37 PM
