Am I the Family ATM? My Wallet Has Limits! 😤💸
So here I am, 33, living overseas, working my butt off, and STILL paying for every single bill back home for my mom (59) and grandma (78). My uncle and aunt? Both healthy, both working, but apparently allergic to responsibility. I’ve covered grandma’s expenses since forever, and now my uncle borrows $1,000 for his wife’s migration, and my aunt hits me up for $500 to start a new job. Meanwhile, they act like I’m made of money because I send gifts and pay for family holidays.
I’ve tried to help them find jobs, sent business ideas, even offered to teach them new skills. They always have an excuse! My grandma, almost 80, is still hustling at the market while her own kids do nothing. I’m exhausted, angry, and honestly, starting to feel used. Is it selfish to want boundaries? How do I break this cycle without breaking my heart? 😩💔
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
