[quote=Anonymous]OP - this sounds like your problem not theirs. What do you want them to do to not be such "takers"? Should they clean your house or make you homemade meals - you know with all the free time they have since they don't have demanding and lucrative jobs like the other 4 siblings.

Perhaps someone should quietly tell the struggling parents not to buy gifts for the other 4 families. Kids don't keep score and as they get a little older and notice these things, it's good to learn that some families don't have everything they need let alone want. It's a good lesson for your kids to learn that sometimes people struggle and family is there to help you when you need them and someday when you're doing better you return the favor.

Someday the "taker" sibling family might be the ones driving you to chemo or visiting your parents in a nursing home daily to feed them since the staff always rushes them. These people might give you the clothes off their back when you have a house fire or let you use a car when yours is in an accident.

Life has amazing ways of humbling us all. Be thanksful you can give to this family and trust that your family would do the same for you. [/quote]
