Wrong to feel annoyed with a friend?
Feeling annoyed with a friend who moved over from another country with her husband. Plans were made a while ago that we could share a rental house. Promises were made that we would share in all expenses. When the time came to pay for bond and things, they didn't have enough money. I ended up doing that.

I think you should sit down with them and have a conversation about how this is going to work. Of course you're annoyed - you were helping them out, and it seems like they are taking advantage of that. Be polite, but firm. Tell them that you can't have your life revolve around them, and while you're glad you could help them get started in the country, you need to be able to focus on your own life. They need to find transportation and start contributing to the groceries and other things around the house. Try to work out schedules for who buys what, who goes shopping, when the rent needs to be in, etc. and write it down so there is no dispute later.
