Do your relatives hep you in times of need?

Never ever! I too have faced such situations where in we only needed someone to stand by us and comfort us, we were not asking for any money, and yet the so-called close relatives chose to stay away making lame excuses! One instance that I will never forget is when immediately, that is about two months after my father expired, I was getting married, a simple affair with a civil ceremony for which I paid, none of my relatives attended! Probably they thought they will have to pay!

Some do and some don't most especially if there is a discord within the family clan. But as for me, I'm very grateful because I have a loving, supportive and helpful relatives that I can run to if I'm in need whether it is in emotional or financial aspect.

There are some relatives who only know how to ask help but can't give help. It is sad to have such kind of relatives. I am not really sure about the situation you are in now. Are your relative capable of helping but are just ignoring your present need? If so, then this is really sad. Now if the reason is because they are not in the financial position either to extend help to your family then I think you must also understand their situation.

yes, many times I have been helped by my relatives and saved me from crisis. We have a close knit family and each is very helpful of one and another. There's were some disagreements but all were settled by communications and forgiveness. We live in a family compound and all should respect each rights to assure peace among us.

Hi singuri, you have good points..I have experienced similar problem, when I am on the top many family member will come and good but if vice versa no one will come to see me..That's the reason I am not really want to have close relationship with them and sometimes I love to getting around with my friends more than my own family..They will be more honest and help us on any situation...

Everyone is different, there are relatives who may visit even if there family member is financially stable and some who wont. My family always visits.

Personally my family has never really been ones to be there for me when I needed something. Most of the time, it was because they never had any extra $$ to be able to help me out for sure, even back when I was single. My Mom did help once, so did my Grandma back when they were alive, but these were only the one time. On my husbands side of the family with all the Medical bills which cause other issues we have never been given any Financial help, etc. but then most of the time we felt it would not be the right time to ask.

No. We have no relatives close to us. i do not know my cousins well too, i know i have but well we have not spoken to each other that much, and so does my mom. That is why we have not relied on anybody else... not even relatives.

My husband and I are lucky as we do have some close relatives, who really are there for us no matter what. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for all of our relatives. But at least, we can say that we have some, which is still nice and is much better than having none at all.

I have been fortunaate enough in my life to have caring family members who would come to my aid in my times of need. i wish that i hadn't had to rely on their help to see me through some hard times in my life but I am eternally grateful to each one of them for being there for me.

I think that most of my relatives are rather good. Granted, there are a few in my family they are less than good, having a "what have you done for me lately" style view on life, but it is rather all good to say the very least. Of course, there are many times where there is just one chain of relatives not really getting any help because everyone else is having problems. Which is really just a part of the world these days.

"Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." When there are so many people around, but no one offers to help this is the saying that comes to my mind. It is sad to think that in times of plenty, people are extremely friendly, but when a person's circumstance changes,everyone turns away. I have observed this situation in some families or clans and this situation is becoming widespread. It's always about "what's in it for me" instead of "what can I do to help." What's going on? Is this world going to the dogs? Jeez, let's not use the dog as our scapegoat. Dogs are the most loyal friends, they don't bite the hand that feeds them. God bless you singuri.

Yes, most of my relatives are willing to help us even we are in fincancial troubles. My family was not rich though my parents worked very hard, as they have two children to go to shcool. So thanks to my relatives' financial supports, I could go to university and finish the study. I will also try my best to support them when they're in trouble.

There are my families that are always willing to help everyone or anyone in times of needs. As for me, all my family members are always there when im in need.
