My cousin who lives in Japan message me last night.
The last time we have a conversation was last year so I wonder really why she messaged me. As I read her message in my chat box, she asked me if I could have her sister connect to my Internet Wifi for the meantime since they did not pay their last bill for their Internet and that she will pay how much will I ask.
I told her that since the boyfriend is the one paying for the Internet I will ask permission from him first. I asked the boyfriend if I could have her connect, the boyfriend is too kind to say yes. So I told her, it's okay to have her connected for the meantime.
So, last night her sister went here and I have to type the password in order for her to have access to mine. Now that we are 4 connection to my Internet hopefully the connection works just fine. Sometimes, we have trouble with our Internet Provider.
Sometimes taking favors is hard.

I would not dream of saying no to such favor asked by my sister. We are a close family as I, too, have very close friends. If someone need something within my means, I will do it.

@JustBhem ; That is OK to ask boyfriend about many things, but I believe that you should make your decisions individually. It is just my view not forcing you.

Yes, I do understand. But it's not always. Only if I have trouble making a decision on my own.

Your boyfriend is really too kind. My father would not have allowed it. And I would not allow it either. When I am in my aunt’s house, they would not even share their wifi.

That is really kind of your boyfriend. Hopefully the connection is okay. So does that mean her sister comes to your home then leaves when she's done using the internet?

Yes, as what she said, for the meantime since she did not pay their last bill.
They always like this though, they don't pay their internet in time. Thanks.

I think it is normal to help each other as a family. As for the wifi password, when we visit our relatives they will first share the password for us. In the Internet age, it is really inconvenient not to surf the Internet. It seems that my relatives are very understanding.

i agree with you. for how long will your cousin be connected through WiFi to your internet connection? good thing too, you typed the password and not she.

@JustBhem i hope they pay for their bill already. yes,having many gadgets connected to your WiFi might slow down your connection. but i don't know if my idea is true or not. hahaha

Yes, because I know how many gadgets they have so I need to be the one who will type the password or else a lot of people will be connected to my Wifi.
I don't know, she said for the meantime since she did not pay yet their Internet connection bill.

Yes. It will slow down the connection if there is a lot of gadget connected to the internet wifi.

Like others here have mentioned, I help people out when I can. But once I start to get used, I stop.
