Your first focus should always be your family. Having stated that when is it appropriate to set limits and draw lines?

The story below is an account of a distressed sibling. The original poster (OP) has a secure job and a married life. As a result, OP and her husband were more than willing to comply and share the load when her younger brother approached her and asked for financial support. Everything was going great at first; the brother had returned the money, and everything was going according to plan. But when the brother came to OP a second time to ask for money, and OP had to tell him no, things went south.

So be sure to read the story below if you’re interested in learning whether or not OP complied with her brother’s demands to please her family and keep harmony! After you’re through, don’t forget to read the account of the mother who tried to teach her pregnant daughter a lesson by refusing her financial support!
