Would This Be Appropriate?

One good true friend is worth a thousand relatives you never see.

If you ever get tired of a relative just loan them some money.   

A couple hundred bucks should do it, and it's often worth twice that much to get rid of them.   Family values!

Our Daughter one time had her car in the shop and they was needing it out. She says Dad loan me the money to get it out. I told ok but I need it back next week. She says no problem.

Next week came and went. She was no where around. Months later I see her, oh I know what you want, tuff you have to wait in line with everyone else. Well months later I got my money but not her giving it. I told my wife never again.

Then one other time we borrowed money from a Son, made sure he got it back in a timely manner. Now he owes us money but never has any to pay us.

Don't loan/borrow with people you like. If you can't think of it as a gift from the very beginning then don't do it.

I've bailed my older kids out a couple times.  No problems, they settled up when they said they would.  Sometimes when you're just starting out, things happen and you need a little help.

I would have to agree Wrench. I have nine brothers. The one I would say I am the closes to, has this funny value system.  If he borrows something from you, and you don't go to his house in a week to get it. It becomes his. lol

Like borrowing Tools. Our Son borrows all my stuff for his Handyman Jobs. This bothers me because I know he doesn't take care of stuff like I do.

Dad I will help you out. Most the time we get tired of waiting on him and go ahead and do it ourselves. But he does do some things and in his own way holds it over our heads I did this. Called him to help get Deer out, he says he will be there but never shows but had a Hog that took 8 hours to get out and he was there. To him this made up for many Deer.

We built a Deck, he said one time he could have done a better Job. I said well you weren't here. Shut him up.

I'm owed a bunch of money. They are like we don't have it. Pay me some it is better than nothing.

No . Funny most I know on T.V. I knew many years before or I spend hours with them shopping or just running around like other people I know.

Knew a person one time for years. One time spent the day with them and we went out eat. Couple people asked them for Autograph? Later on I told them it really was stupid but could I have their Autograph? They told me sure and said they rather give me one than people they didn't know.
