Ok just want views on this.
An old school friend of mine who I have not seen in almost ten years messaged me on Facebook and asked me if she could borrow 20 pounds from me. I was pretty surprised she messaged me tbh as the only connection we have is via Facebook.
This mum is constantly posting how hard done by she is how bad her life is and how men use her etc etc (Jeremy Kyle style) has a different boyfriend every week. And airs it all!
She has a 9 year old DD
Anyway I replied very politely that I no longer lived in that city and that I was sorry she was having difficulties etc but that I could drive all way over and that I'm in no position to pay anything as I'm doing overtime myself to get extra.
I thought was the end of it
An hour later she replies begging me to help ! Saying she has no gas or food for her DD and that she would accept a bank transfer!
I replied saying how sorry I was I couldn't help out again. No more messages.
im now for some reason feeling bad for her DD :( I hate thinking of any child going without ! Especially food I'm no tight ass and I give to charity weekly and the homeless and donate cloths and toys at xmas
Not only that the next evening I saw another post from her with unknown man with him and her in a photo holding a glass of wine to each other saying " cheers "
Hmmmm
Despite that I'm still feeling bad for her DD
AIBU to not help? Has money for wine but not food? I dunno..
