Do you ever feel that some of your family are only when they need or want to borrow something? Why is it that it's ok to borrow and think unending put offs are ok just because you're family?

A family .... A mother, father, brother/sister including me. Mother who takes the entire responsibility of the family members. She loves and cares each and every one in the family. Father maintains the family, he don't know about his children well as his wife. Sister who cares her mother father n brothers. Brother who loves his mother and hates father and commands sister. This is a family.

Family is relation ship between father, mother, brother and sister. When comming to relation ship there is no borrowing or taking and giving. The only concept comming to family is sharing and caring. You have to stand on that concept and work on that concept then only you know the real meaning of family, Else it will become a bank, factory or garage.

In my situation right now, i really asked help from my family and the family of my husband, especially his younger sister who helped a lot. I just asked the the Lord to bless them more and that they will not be tired in helping us in any way around.Thus, if by chance that they ask help from me, i am willing to help the best i can. Life is like a see saw, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down!

I have helped and been helped in my life. I have also learned that some people don't know how to cope in some situtations, Maybe there is a problem deeper than they are just takers, and need help with the root of the problem. Maybe you should talk to them and explain that insted of just giving them money or food you would like to help them with what ever is keeping them from making it on their own. And in times you can't help, direct them to an organization that can help them. Whether it be bills, food or something else. There is a saying give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will never go hungry. Maybe that's not a correct quote, but you understand what I mean right. Good Luck.
