Part 3
so, we got a call from chris this morning. apparantly we wont get rachel AT ALL in two weeks. he wont tell us why. the way he said it at first made it sound like it was our fault, and that we werent doing something right, but he wont tell us what. so, in two weeks, rachel is going to apparantly be moving out. i guess we'll see what happens with it. we're currently (as in right this minute) trying to talk this out and see what his reasons are for it, but he wont say. not really. grar!
Thoughts on Walmart’s new Grocery Pickup Service

Having recently gotten a flier in the mail advertising Walmart’s new
grocery pickup service (it's essentially a site-to-store for groceries),

I forget - who has custody...Rachel's mom or dad or both? What does your sister (her mom) have to say? Does she have any legal standing to fight this?
rachel's dad has custody, which is why he gets to do this at all. rachel's mom is not at all happy about it, and she does get to have some say in it, but she cant find the paperwork to prove it. she's hoping to come out to utah in the next few days to go to the court and get the paperwork and fight it out with him.
oh, in case anyone is curious, his reasons for why he's moving rachel? it depends on who you ask. he told my dad that it was because we have poor anger management in our family (honestly, i could see and believe it.) he told my mom something completely different, which was that he wanted her "to start bening intigrated into their family" (murmer murmer)
Unless things have changed since I last lived there, I can buy into the "poor anger management" argument, though it doesn't excuse how badly he and his new in-laws have been handling this entire issue in general (Has anyone bothered to ask Rachel's opinion on the subject?). And given that he mentioned bad anger management, if that was his real reasoning, I do not find it surprising that he told mom something else.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that this has all been exceptionally stressful on Rachel's Mindy-mommy who, unfortunately, doesn't have any say in this at all, though imho she is possibly the most qualified of anyone in the situation to comment on it. *big hugs*
actually, people have asked rachel her oppinion on the whole thing. but, here's the problem with it. she'll tell me the truth, but she'll tell her daddy what he wants to hear, which is that she'll be fine with moving to the hawks. when we try to tell him that she tells him something else because she is scared to tell him the truth, he doesnt belive it. (which is totally stupid, but again, i dont have any say whatsoever)
oh, he also doesnt believe that rachel wants him and krystal there to get used to the hawks' better. he says "i've moved around when i was a kid, and i was okay" but 1- he has parents who were there to support him in the stresses of moving, and rachel doesnt and 2- he usually had more than two weeks notice that he was moving.
In hindsight, It sure is nice of God to free up your schedule for you to for on a mission. No Rachel to take care of allows you to get a second job or go on long walks (to help your mental state) and with no Rachel to take care of allows you to leave on a mission without adding to your mother's burden.
i hadnt thought of it that way. tis a good point. thanks. :)
