Sometimes have you had that feeling that nothing you ever did was good enough for people. This month alone i helped get money to pay the water bill helped get money to pay the gas bill and the electric and brought food in the house.My uncles girlfriend I will give credit were credit is due but seriously he says she cleans and cooks but if you dont pay bills were you going to clean or cook. He treats the people that bears the financial burden like crap and he depends on us to keep the ducks in a row so to speak. To me this is not right what do you think.

It is rough when you feel unappreciated and like you bear too much of the burden.

I help to a certain point. However, when it becomes a given that the person in need is constantly looking to you for the same help, it ends. There are agencies that will help once in awhile too and they would tell that person if it happened often to look for a place that is within their means. If they can't pay the basics where they are it is clear that they can't afford to live where they are.

@bigshow9773 his problem, not yours. Sadly we have to break those ties in order for them to see the forest before the trees.

@bigshow9773 if you can afford it, go ahead, but in my experience, they know a good thing and will keep coming back for a hand out.

I'd set these people straight and tell them what my contributions are and how important these are. If the people don't realize what you bring to the table, go find another table.

@bigshow9773 some people refuse to acknowledge how important our contributions are. Do not let that make you think that you are of less value that others.

We can do a lot and feel that no one appreciates us and that is the feeling I have had lots of times also.
Have lent so much money out to help others and not a word of thanks.
I don´t do that so much now as what I did but I still help when I really want to and then I find its more appreciated.

That sounds a lot like this country. LOL. The upper crust treats us like crap. No good and not fair. We need to stand up and fight back. I don't like people like that. I think we are all able to do things. And we are no different than the ones at the top. Somehow things have gotten askew and people are going crazy with crazy ideas.

Yes I have felt this way but mine is in a different way. In the end if it isn't your home, you can only go by what they want. I have taken people in that don't work and needed a place. I had no problem as long as they helped with the cleaning and such. Luckily my husband works and works hard so not that we are swimming in money but as long as the person appreciates, the roof over their head, food in the belly and a warm bed by at least helping out with chores I'm alright with it.

I’ve sadly been in that position. What makes things worse is it’s supposed family taking advantage.
Each person has to handle it differently. I would wonder if everyone would accept a “family meeting,” where ground rules and expectations are clearly defined for everyone.

My opinion is that he looks at her as a wife and she is doing the "wifely duties" and that is payment enough. So I suggest what my dad did when he remarried and we all were still at home. Take the all the bills and divide them into 3 parts, then if he wants to pay her part then that is okay but when its done this way you do not feel used. I must say that the cooking and cleaning show be divided as well.

been there tried that but its not fair that he does this because the burden comes back on us this isnt 1980 or the 70s and he aint rich to take care of a wife in that since
