I care for my family

Ok, so my sister, the one i was talking about last night... well her boyfriend's cousin has the nerve to tell her that she needs to ask her doc about birth control, then suggests a few. Well for one, it isn't any of her business what the hell my sister should do, and for two she shouldn't be giving advice to someone who is old enough to make their own damn choices, yes my sister is young and has 2 children. Some of the time they have her boyfriends other daughter, and she asks for help, only because her boyfriend is at work when she goes to her appointments. So many parents ask for help.. my mom did.. my grandmother did.. and she had 5.. so she needs to learn to just keep her nose outta something that doesn't concern her, and life would be sweet!
