Well, she calls me up at around 6:00am and just to let you know she never calls unless she needs something well,this time she wanted to BORROW $800.00 for a cruise and when i said NO sh** hit the fan to be exact. I said are you a dumba** money don't grow on trees and she says well i know that you have it and i want to go. I said how in the he** do you think that i have $800.00 just laying around to give you because you got a whim to go on a friggin cruise retard. so i hang up and not 10min goes by and good old mom calls and has the nerve to tell me i should let her borrow it. I told my mom that if it was so important that she go you give her the money. and then i hung up on her to. My point is i am by no means rich Dh pays out more in mal-pratice insurance a year than they make where in the he** do they get thier info. i would like to know

mckayleesmom replied: I think its a common misconception. Yes..doctors might have nice houses and cars...but alot of money goes out too...Your husband is probably still paying off school for petes sake....what nerve of them. Why doesn't your sister get a job. Even if you were rich....that is none of their buisiness and I would have said NO too.

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied: Yes, you are right loans out the butt,Yes i have a decent home and car but that only means that i'm in debt not that i'm rich

mckayleesmom replied: Ya...if you are sooo rich...why are you at home and not on a cruise???

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied: MY thoughts exactly but you know regardless it is not my job to see to it that she goes on a cruise in the first place

amynicole21 replied: Even if you did have it just laying around, who are they to decide that they have any rights to it?? You and /dh worked hard to get it, why should you just spread it around for stupid reasons?? Your sis and mom are way out of line.

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied: You know the more i think about it the madder i get its not thier money to be telling me how to spend anyways it will be a cold day in he** before they get .2 cents from me.

Mommy2BAK replied: hmm... I wish I was the "rich" family member in my family, LOL. I would love to be rich. *Tamara begins to daydream*

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied: I wish i was rich butt sadley evough it is not true. for heavens sake i buy all my kids and my clothing at wal-mart and if it is name brand it usually comes from the thrift store or bargain table at old navy but i can tell you one thing my family is rich in love that is for sure and is all that matters to me she needs to see my check book

Jamielou replied: Im sorry your family is treating you this way like someone else said if you had money for a cruise you would be there....

ions_momma replied: Im sorry to hear that your family is treating you this way. I would be very mad and upset too! It is your money that you and your husband work for and they have no right to it.

paradisemommy replied: to bad just to spite her, you couldn't go buy your family tickets and tell her.."oh sorry - MY family decided to take a cruise"

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied: thats funny i do wish that i could afford it as it sets i'm not sure that we will go anywhere for a vacation this summer

A&A'smommy replied: OMG I didn't realize your dh was a dr. but yeah your sister was being selfish and immature!!!

TeagansMom609 replied: I went through this my whole life from friends. My dads a lawyer so everyone always said, "oh you must be rich". Uh no, hardly. Just because my dads a lawyer doesnt mean he makes Johnny Cockran type money.

Anyway, sorry your sister is being greedy. My sister is married to a Dr. and makes pretty good money herself but I would NEVER ask her for money just because I "think" they have it.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

My family knows better than to ask us for money.

I agree, I mean I will help any one of my family members out, for something important, but you are not a bank for ppl to take a cruise!
And I mean once you said no, it should have been over. You cant exactly walk around getting mad at everyone who doesnt give you money when you ask for it. I think you have every right to tell them to back off, you have your own family and expenses to worry about.

My mother is a lawyer too.

After having worked with her, and seeing her do her taxes, and expenses etc.... she makes about 130 000$ a year, HOWEVER she actually only makes about 35000 a year, because of all the expenses. The insurance, the rent on her office, the phone bills, fax bills, taxes etc..... so she's got lots of money going through her bank, but not a lot of profit.

I would never ask for money unless I was REALLY REALLY needing it. And I don't mean for a new jacket - I mean for food.

It's happened that I got behind on bills etc because, let's face it, crap happens, and sometimes fixing the car that brings DH to work is more important than paying a bill on time - the bill can wait a few days, the car can't.

I owuld never ask someone for money just because I wanted it. Especially for a CRUISE! What was she thinking!!!

I'm like that thgough - if someone comes to ask me for money (people have before) I would always ask them what it was for - if they'd tell me for food, I'd tell them I'd do what I could - then I'd go out to the grocery store, and get them some groceries.

If they'd tell me it was for diapers or formula, I'd get them diapers and formula, rather than give them the money - too many times my ex's mother played me like that - played me for the sucker - she had 4 kids other than Ex, and she smoked, smoked up, drank alcohol - yet I'd always be the sucker and give her 20 here, 10 there, 5 here for some milk, some juice, some meat..... yet.... where was the food???

sorry to hog your post.... it bugs me when peoplke ask for money just beacuse. If it's a valid reason.....please ask away!!!
