Ungrateful family members!!!!!!!!!....................10 points for best answer?

Oh my! your family is taking advantage of you!! You've gotta speak up or else it will never stop!! you need to be saving for your child and you need to be stress free, they should be helping you out!

Next time they ask for something tell them no, even if they get upset, tell them you have your own life to live and that they are costing a lot of money that you need. Tell them you will help certain things but they gotta pay up first. If you they don't like it then i'm sorry to say but you're better off without them. Sometimes it's hard to say no to family but it has to be done cause they obviously don't care too much about your feelings or money...Stay strong!!

Ungrateful Family Members

Stop acting like such a sap, and they will stop taking advantage of you. They only do it because they can. For example, when you first saw the size of the trailer she had rented, you knew it was too big for the car. At that point, you should have said, "Oh, crap, sis, what were you thinking? I can't pull that behemoth with my little car. Looks like you'll have to rent a pick-up truck, as well."

And brooked no argument, just shrugged your shoulders, said a cheerful "Sorry", got in your car and returned home. But you say "yes" to their every request, no matter how much it imposes on you and your boyfriend's life, no matter how it destroys your budget. It will only continue until you refuse to jump when they snap. You must have respect for yourself before they will have any.

When you first refuse, they will argue and wheedle and call you bad names, and if you give in, they will then know that all they have to do to get you to do what they want is to argue and wheedle and call you bad names. So you have to stand your ground, the first time, the second time, the third time, however many times it takes them to realize that you are not their servant....oh, wait...servants get paid, make that their slave. You will have to accept right up front that your refusing will cause a division in the family. They may refuse to speak to you for a long time. But you have to establish some boundaries for yourself and strictly enforce them before they will respect you. As for being grateful, forget that. Users are never grateful. Accept that they will always feel entitled to take as much as you are willing to give and complain that you didn't give more. You can love them anyway and laugh at them with your boyfriend for thinking they are royalty when clearly, they are not.

Be assertive and tell them how they make you feel. You, as ive read so far have done a lot for your family and they need to respect the fact you have your own life and they cant just "use" you like that and be ungrateful. Your about to have a baby you don't need ANY of this stress what so ever. Too much stress can cause a miscarriage! Good luck i hoped i helped :)

Clearly, your family is taking advantage of you. You will need to say No and take care of yourself and your family. Unfortunately, they may pull away from you. This can be hurtful, but since they are using you, they may not want to just be there for you. You do need to take a stand and be strong and healthy for your baby. Good Luck.

wow...it would have taken 1 day to think and 1 hour to type. It is a good set of questions not only for politicians but also for all of us

If you don't want your family to bother you again, I'm afraid that there's no other way than to live in a place unknown to them far away from where they are.

Learn to say no without offering excuses.

tell them all straight up how you feel, if they don't understand you do not need them!

say no
