Does anyone else have that one family member?

Who only calls when they need money and it’s at least once a month or more?

I always wait for Sundays because at least twice a month my sister-in-law calls asking to be sent money. Always on a Sunday.

She always says she has no money for food or clothes, but her Instagram account says otherwise

Not family but a friend of my son who I let live here when he was having family trouble, but he hasn’t called in a few months, he was regular caller for 50 bucks here and there, and to his credit he paid me back.

My sister. I have spoken of her many times here on SW. She had a good life or so I thought at the time. She left her family, the fact that her drinking surfaced. Before we found out how bad the drinking was she had borrowed thousands of dollars from us. She was stealing from her patients. She lost job after job. It was always money from us. Years went by and she was practically homeless. She died while i had to stand beside her and watch.

Some people cant be helped.

Oh gosh, that sounds horrid. I’m so so sorry that you had to experience that. 🥺@tobynshorty

@Strongtea thank you. There were so many years in the making that I feel that death was a relief.

Nope.. i used to have a cousin who would ask money for school but then she kept asking and asking and i got skeptical and stopped sending 😒 she said she’d pay us back (several hundreds of dollars) but never did (not that i expected her to) 😏 she finished school tho and got a job as a teacher and got married and has two kids now ..

As for your sister in law i wouldn't give her a dime 😅

Say what I said to my dad...., I have my exspenses too. What does that leave me, but working and not being paid back....

No I`m very lucky in that sense. I`d have to refuse them anyway, I`m on a pension.
