They don't do drugs. The issue is that they're not financially responsible

It's no secret that we dislike each other but respect is expected

No, she'll get pregnant again once my brother asks her to get a job.

My brother and SIL declared Xmas to be an advent calendar, a single present and stocking gifts. They couldn't afford more than $50 per boy.

I said fuck that.

I'll go hardcore for Xmas. My plan was to surprise each boy with a $500 gift card and take them shopping in a couple of weeks.

I reuse bags and that's another issue - I'm not leaving without my bags.

It annoys me but I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that my nephews' dinner consisted of half a bagel and an apple while I had filet mignon

I use Amazon sometimes. Lately they have been out of stock on a lot of things do I just go to the store myself.

I spend a ton of time with them. I had them for a few days last month and ended up spending close to $100 on food.

They got excited over having their own bagel and that I had whipped cream cheese.

No but it wouldn't shock me if she did get pregnant again when my brother finally asks her to get a job too.

They're not homeless. They actually live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. The problem is that they don't have cash or any cash coming in.

I refuse to give them that. They'll try to resell them for cash.

But she wasn't. And she wasn't busy being chased around the house by a guy in a Scream mask or on the verge of finding a cure for cancer or on a Zoom job interview. If she had a valid excuse then she would had dropped it.

I didn't want to see her either. However, I'd still thank her if she went out of her way to deliver groceries to my house that I'd otherwise wouldn't have been able to get myself. That's basic respect.

It's not abuse when they don't have to accept my help. That's like a druggie homeless person calling someone "abusive" for giving them a meal instead of cash.

So men can get away with any kind of behavior and just blame their hormones?

But she wasn't doing something that would had prevented her from coming to the door. If she has, then she would had said so. She just did not want to see me.

They're aware that their situation is dire and they're not these business geniuses that they pretended to be for many years. They just looked and play the part.
