I have felt treated different for a long time, but I have never said anything. I didn`t want to bother with it. EVERY time we have EVER borrowed ANYTHING from them, we have paid EVERY single penny back. My step-brother on the other hand, wanted some big mudder tires, for his truck... WELL over $800. He asked my mom & step-dad to borrow the money for them, and he would pay them back in a couple of weeks. ( he asked them, knowing he would not have the money to re-pay them). So, when they figured out he had lied, they just blew it off. SO, after it was all said and done, they bought him near $1000 dollar tires, and didn`t flinch when he failed to pay them back. Ok, so here I am, needing a laptop computer for COLLEGE, and I asked them to help me get one... NOT buy me one... just help me get one, and me RE-PAY them like I ALWAYS do.... But the response was `you`re married`!!!!!! OMG, that set me on fire! Ok, so my step-sister is dating/living with/pregnant by someone older than her own father, and my step-brother is a jobless/leaching partier... They both GIVE them things all the time, and all I am asking for is help... with me re-paying them. I don`t understand where they have a leg to stand on, saying I`m `married`, I feel like I`m being punished for being married, and having kids with my HUSBAND. I said `so, if I would have not married Joe, but had kids with him, Would I get the same treatment as them?` It made her mad, but that`s just something I honestly wonder!!! My mom and step-dad are very well-off, so it`s not like I`m asking for them to do something they do not have the means to do... I think it has something to do with the fact that my step-dad makes ALOT more than her... Idk... it`s just frusterating.

I know, my sister has 3 kids and she and her husband both work and have a pretty good life, but my family feels it is fitting to give her more than me because we only have 2 kids and hubby and I are significantly better off then them. Burns my ass....I`ve worked so hard to accomplish what I have and sacrificed and put my nose to the grindstone to be told she`ll get the majority of financial help and inheritence...not that it matters, but it IS a matter of principle!

Oh, GAWD, This is my family as far as the helping the helpless goes. The angriest I got was my mom `helping` my brother. He is 7 years older than me and a constant f@%k up! He`ll disappear for months without contact. He has repeatedly stollen from her. Than whines `I have a mental disorder, I was off my meds` and I SWEAR TO GOD she`ll fork over a handfull of money so he can go buy his antidepressants (TOTAL BS). He is 42-no job-no girlfriend-drives mommy`s car and stirs up trouble in the family for fun. I had to put this in a `place` I use to just be mad at my brother, then my brother and my mom. She`ll remember $5.00 she loaned me 3 months ago. She`ll ask for the change from a $20.00 for $19.00 worth of shopping I did for her. My brother can strut in and walk out with her purse- no questions asked. If I was angry everytime I saw this unfair treatment, I`d never smile again. What`s worse is he`s not even thankful and says all kinds of crap about her. I just think, even though we may struggle, I don`t have to depend on my mommy. I don`t have to go to sleep every night with the pathetic existance of depending on the kindness of others. No one wants to help the person that is responsible.......sorry this touches a nerve with me!

How old are they and how old are you ~ if they are younger then 21 then I think it is ok to some extent and only slightly unfair since you are married, but if they are older then 21 then it is not fair and they need to start taking care of themselves.

I kinda know what you mean. This isn`t exactly the same but, my sister is kinda annoying - she rarely answers her phone....so whenever I`m talking to my mom on the phone (even if it`s something important) she will tell me she has to call me back if my sister is calling her. It kinda makes me feel bad!
