[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Families are united units and things go both ways. Whoever needs it gets help. If the children or siblings need help the family steps in. If the parents or grandparents need help the family steps in.[/quote] This^. Nobody takes advantage of others but when one family member needs it, others voluntarily step up. There is no leeching or compulsion, just having each other's back.[/quote] It's a nice idea, but as someone who's always on the giving end with family members lately, it sure feels like there is leeching, and I'm starting to feel resentful and it's causing problems in my marriage. [/quote] If one party is ALWAYS on the giving end and it causes problems for them, its not a good situation. Move back and only help with emergencies, you are only required to do the right thing, not keep giving what others expect. [/quote]
