Hi everybody. Will try to be brief. Have 3 bros, eldest one married with 4 kids. Up until 15 years ago they lived the life of The Jones's( is it Jones right? Lol). My bro got retrenched and they lost everything. While he had his job they paid bills on time however apparently didn't prepare for this 'unlikeky event ' so they lost everything and claims they still paying those debts now. Now i love all my family to bits and i can't bear when they tell me there's no food. But I've been helping them for a decade now and its draining me. Yes, they both work but can't tell me why they still struggling. I can't even keep track of what they owe me and i feel like I've been taken for granted because im considered 'well off '. Yes. I'm a bit more than comfortable but ive worked hard for my money and don't feel its right to keep including them in my monthly expenses. Especially now because i have a child. The reason why im pissed is becAuse ive loaned them a large amount of money. They suppose to pay back in monthly installments, which would take a year, only got 2 payments and a load of lies and far fetched stories as to why they can't pay. Plus i get 'attitude ' from them. Sorry i know i said I'll make it short but i really wanna tell them to eff off. AIBU?

@LeeScoresbysBalloon yes exactly. That's why they cheeky because actually the money ive given them doesn't make me poor, they know this and i know they roll their eyes at me thinking i can afford to help them so wtf.
