Hmmmmmm......
STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
HELPING A SIBLING WITHOUT LOSING ONESELF
When my younger sister failed WAEC on her first attempt, I brought her to my location, registered her for another sitting, and helped her gain admission into university but she abandoned her education, and followed her secondary school boyfriend. I went to visit her in school one day and was told she had not been in school for two semesters. She collects money from me with the pretence that She is in school.
She became pregnant, and they eventually got married.
I supported them financially whenever I could. I even gave her money to learn a trade so she could become independent and help herself but she spent it without learning anything.
I help them with feeding sometimes and also with her children’s school fees until the responsibility became too much for me. I stopped.
Her husband dropped out of school too, refused to learn a trade, I got a small job for him but he rejected the job I found for him, saying he was not wired to work for anyone. He has business ideas but lacks the capital to execute them, which I cannot afford to provide for the bogus business ideas. He seats at home monday -monday doing nothing.
Meanwhile, my sister works as a salesgirl, earning ₦40,000 monthly,
Recently , my sister visited me with her children, and seeing them looking unwell broke my heart. Since then, I have been restless, wondering what else I can do. I am considering giving her 100k to start a small business, but I fear the money is nothing with the economy. It will be used for feeding or betting by her hubby, leaving us back where we started.
I am over 40, single, and managing a job of less than 200k monthly .. I want to help my sister and her innocent children, but I cannot continue carrying a burden that is gradually becoming too heavy for me.
How do I help my sister without enabling her husband’s irresponsibility or sacrificing my own future?
I honestly do not know what to do anymore.
Tufiakwa to a love that is not backed with Finances!!!!..This kind of love no longer exists, this is not love, it is suffer head!!!......
You have tried but they dont seem to be getting it...Your sis lacks common sense but it should not stop you from helping her even with the kids..
Instead of giving 100k bulk, why dont you just support her with a small amount of money every month? At least it will enable her feed the kids.....One would have said that it is good to manage with a man until he hits a break through but this one wont amount to anything with sitting at home all day and betting..
Young women, it is good to fall in love but go to school first!
I am so pissed!
