Kates parents were very young when they had Kate and her siblings. Her parents lived in and owned a trailer park. Her Dad is a minister. Her parents now live in a very nice new home. Kate refused used cribs and other items from her Dad's congregation. She only wanted New items or CASH. Her parents wouldn't agree with her demands so she cut them off. Her Dad was so embarassed to tell his church that Kate refused the used baby gifts. He took the gifts to a thrift store instead of telling the church what really happened. this comes at no surprise of course.
