My sister does not work, her husband supports the family completely. The financial situation in their family is poor, there is a catastrophic shortage of money.
After I got higher education, I got a job in a good organization. I got a good salary. My spouse also works and earns good money. When both work in the family, it is much easier financially. Of course, we don’t luxuriate, but we can afford to enjoy life. Since I knew my sister didn’t work, I tried to help her provide for her children. I often bought her children clothes, toys, and other things. It was good that we had children of the same age. If I bought my children clothes, I bought the same things for my nephews. I tried to make sure they looked the same.
A couple of weeks ago I went to the market and bought my kids gloves and hats. I bought the exact same things for my nephews. We stopped by my sister’s house and gave her kids the new things. My sister noticed that my daughter had a new winter coat and praised the new clothes “What a great coat. But my sister has an old coat, she’s been wearing it for two years. It would be time to buy a new winter coat for the child.
I did not pay attention to these words of his sister, but in the evening my husband started a conversation on the subject. He said that my sister has become quite insolent. She literally demands that we dress her children. I said that wasn’t true, and my sister was just having second thoughts about getting the kids dressed for the winter. However, the next day my sister called and spoke differently already:
When are you going to buy my sister a winter coat or coat? Can not you see that she has nothing to wear? Sis, but I always buy everything for your children. Or do you think I have to support them completely? My sister started to talk to me in a pretentious tone, but I just dropped the challenge. My spouse witnessed this conversation and was convinced he was right about my sister.
There was a serious fight between my sister and me on New Year’s Eve.
I had bought my and her children creative kits as gifts. There were paints, thread, toy gadgets, and lots of fun stuff. Additionally, I bought my children a doll and a teddy bear for their good grades. When my sister saw my children’s toys, she pouted with anger. She bought such expensive toys for her kids and some poor art kits for us? I gave my kids the same sets. You don’t like it? You don’t have to take them! And the toys were extra presents for good grades. My sister got dressed, took the presents for her kids, and left. I soon found out that she had told all her relatives that my spouse and I were spoiled by money.
