My sister is exploiting our gay DINK lifestyle to pay for her kids. Am I a bad guncle if I say no?
Hi Jake,My husband and I really enjoy our DINK (duel-income-no-kids) lifestyle. Not having the expense of children allows us to spend our money on ourselves and the things we love.
We know we are fortunate and we don’t take it for granted. We are also careful not to flaunt our wealth.My sister is a single mom with three kids (ages 11, 14, and 16).
She’s constantly making remarks about how “rich” we are and how “poor” she is, even though she has a good job and gets help from her ex-husband.Last summer, I offered to cover the cost of sending her two youngest kids to sleepaway camp.
She was appreciative and the kids had a great time, but I feel like it opened Pandora’s box. Because now it seems like she’s asking for money every other month.At the start of the school year, she asked me if I could buy her 14-year-old’s football gear, which I did.
