Good day fellow mylotters,
I am the eldest among the four siblings. And being at this position, my father have had trained me to be always at the sides of my siblings especially to my mom since I am the next in line parent. So, as I grow old and until now, that trait has been on my system.
And even now that I am already old, still my moral support to my siblings as well as to my mom is always there. No matter how busy I am, as I do always finds a time and way to give my moral support. However as time goes by, they are trying to exchange that support with the money that they are giving to me. I know they are just showing the gratitude in return but, my mom told me, that since I am giving my moral support to them, that is why they are giving me some money in exchange for it. Well, it is quite good since I will have the money but my moral support is not for sale. Thus, I am giving it without asking any monetary value. I just want them to appreciate and simply say "thank you" is enough for me.
With what is happening, shall I need to say, my moral support is not for sale. Or will I just accept the money. If I will do this, they might think that I am giving my moral support because of the money.

I think it's nice hat you give a moral support to your family and i don't think that they tried to buy your moral support. If you belive in God, think this money they gave you as a little gift from God, you can recieve them and give them back to the homeless if you don't need the money. I don't think your family will think that your moral support is for sale if you recieve the money from them.

I don't think they are doing that -like buying your moral support.
That's their way of giving the favor in return.
Though it looks like buying- but it's not.
There is nothing wrong accepting the money-anyway, you can use the money to buy something for them.
