My greedy Relatives
19 comments
My parents both have many siblings, from my father’s side 5 and from mother’s 7 and my cousins are in less fortunate situations. My mother adores everyone like most of my cousins are also fond of my mother and she treats them as her daughter/son like me. When I was younger I used to get jealous but now I feel really good when she embraces them.
One of my older cousin was struggling to pay for tuition so, it was huge problem for his studies and my mom decided to send his mom money for a year to help out. My mother didn’t have any contact with my cousin but last time when they talked because it was his birthday and he said he didn’t have any idea that my mom had sent him some money and he was surprised about it. He said that that had been doing part time job to more to pay.
My mother became frustrated and immediately called her to confront her. My mother asked her about the money she has been sending for her son and my aunt replied that her sons money is hers as well so it’s not my moms business to think about it. My aunt also added that her husband was not giving her enough and she was not happy that my mother always wore nice clothes and she didn’t have new ones but the old clothes she bought few months ago. Then my mother asked about her sons education what he will do then my aunty said that he is already old enough to take care of himself because he is an adult(18+) now. Then my mother decided to send my cousin money secretly in other method so that he can pay his due.
My aunt got furious and started making arguments with my mother. She would call my mother selfish well, she had no right to behave like this with my mother and this situation also made me angry. My aunt was my fathers sister and she used to take money from my dad and my mom still it would not be enough for her. She constantly yelled whenever she talked with my mother. So, she has been mad at mom for a long time.
Few years back ago my father used to do a business of pet flex and there was a huge factory where they would cut bottles and turn it into cotton. So, my father gave my uncle a job over there because his wife means my father’s sister had requested to get him into the job. One day my uncle found a gold ring and chain in a bottle but he asked the workers to keep it a secret because his wife told him to. Then they even melted the gold and made bracelet with it. They had done it without telling my father or taking his permission and sometimes my uncle used to move out some money from the accounting’s.
My father was very upset and felt betrayed still he kept him in work. Somehow a big loss happened the factory got closed and when my father asked his brother and sister for help they didn’t help instead they were soo happy and said we wasted money so now we must suffer through it. My uncle and aunt didn’t even think of me I was very young back then. That time I had seen the real face of my relatives.
My father used to take care of both families and carry the expenses and now those relatives won’t look back at us. I remember one day my father’s brother’s wife was showing me her gold bangles and her new dresses I was only 16 back then and I don’t know why she was showing me those things and out of nowhere she started saying “See now I also wear expensive dresses like your mom”I was very confused why she would tell me those things.
One day these people used to take care of me crazily like when I used to visit their house they would ask me what I wanted to eat or needed. But everything changed when my father stopped giving them money due to his loss in business. When my father was hospitalised this year no one helped it was only my online friends who had helped.
