We've all got them, we are related by blood and that's it.
Have you got anyone that drives you up the wall?
In my case its my sibling, he claims poverty, huge debt, 3 kids, wife works PT, they work shifts around each other so no childcare costs, they rent....yet everyone bends over backwards to help them yet they have no intention of helping themselves. They have been given a second car, someone else is paying for the insurance, tax, upkeep all they need to do is out petrol in it as they claim they can't afford a second car but need one. Someone else helps with kids swimming lessons, food bills, school uniforms, the list goes on. The wife has no idea the state of their finances which I find outrageous and stupid. The latest thing is a bloody holiday, paid by handouts.
Me and DH work hard, earn good money, mortgage, have foreign holidays, days out...but we have worked and saved hard to make that happen. We have made compromises to get there, my sibling just gets into debt to get what he wants and then asks everyone else to help.......rant over!
Tell me about anyone that frustrates you.....?
