Dear Queenie,
Since my father retired he constantly complains that he is short of money and I have been helping him out every month. However, I found out he has been giving my kid brother money every month to help him pay his bills.
I don’t mind helping my father but I’m not in favour of giving money to my brother who is grown up and out of school and should be able to support himself and even help our father out instead of sponging on him.
Queenie, am I being unreasonable?—Not made of money
Dear Not,
If he has money to spare for your younger brother, apparently your father does not really need your financial assistance. Stop giving your father money. If he asks for it, tell him you are short of cash and suggest he go to your kid brother for help.
