Don't feel bad Tayna, my grandparents (who raised me) would never lift a finger to help me get my birth certificate or my ss card. I am in my thirites and still have the same ss card that I was born with and I think I only lost my birth certificate once. I vaugley remember having to get another one a long, long, long time ago, but still I am not sure that I ever lost it. My grandparents would never, ever, help me with something like that, and my parents....ahahahaha, forget about it!
How can you be in your thirties and still ask your parents to help you out with something like this? Especially since it's happened several times already!
