[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife sends money to her various struggling relatives.  At first, I was just happy my wife was happy.

Now, my wife has gotten used to doing this and no longer appreciates it.

I spend money on these people that I have basically come to see as lazy, shiftless people.  It’s endless and honestly it’s pointless.   I feel like I am a damn travel agent (when they want to “visit”), an Apple Store when their phone breaks, a bank when they cannot pay their bills.   There is virtually no gratitude from them.

It’s nice you want to help your BIL but don’t let it become a repeat thing.[/quote]

When they visit america they stop first at our house so they can claim to be visiting us.  Then they send a detailed ticket itinerary for the ticket they want to visit their other feckless relatives.[/quote]

how much have you given him so far? [/quote]

How much?  Monthly payments to MIl for a decade; “loans” to FIL; countless  air tickets, computers, smartphones, other “gifts”- it’s a lot of $$ …. Nothing I guess i cannot afford, but when you come to feel like you are being milked, too much.[/quote]

no, to BIL[/quote]
