Have you ever experienced sending money home with no appreciation.

I heard many stories like this happening.

The family back home rely so much on one person abroad, all they are interested in is when the money going into their bank account.

What they dont realise is hard difficult it is to make money abroad, they literally think money can be picked up on the street. I know one family friend who have 3 jobs, dont buy any luxuries, dont have saving, she do all this just to make her family back home happy. What she dont realise is the money is not being spent wisely, nothing is being invested, no saving, nothing, it goes toward drinking, designer clothes, expensive phone... If possible they dont even want to help out, the way they see it, why work when money comes in monthly.

Even in philippines, anyone whos working in the family is the one respsonsible bringing up the whole family.

it's not only happening to you OP, i've heard this kind of situation so many times already. you have to put a stop subsidizing your family in the Philippines since you can barely keep up with your own finances and having a baby at that.

hindi masama ang tumulong pero tulungan mo muna ang sarili mo bago ka magpa ka hero. mamaya niyan eh dalawa pa kayong malunod...

help yourself before you can help others.

have a harsh word with him. make sure to tell him how ungrateful he is & if he doesnt understand, tell him to "f*** off"

Send them some money but look out for yourself first until things get better.

thats a bit too sudden, my mum hardly gives money to my family and they dont expect to recieve anything but they still do, mum told me that its not what it seems!! she tells my family that those filipino's who are spending like kings in the Philippines are probably struggling and are under a big debt back in America or Australia and etc. mum still gives money but she has a limit and she does not want them expect much! well... Australians are known for being stingy with money hahahaha
My family back in the Philippines are fine anyway without help especially they live in a sustainable province where food is abundant and etc.

This is what I hate about our own people. The LAZINESS. I got relatives here that work their @sses just so they can feed their brothers and sisters that have so many kids. Their dad's work only when they need to and have bisyo's.... their kids dont go to school... they probably wont eat if my relatives here dont send money...

And this is happening to ALOT of filipino's abroad...

Hell yeah, but only one of my cousins is like that. He acted as though I owed him 10 million dollars and then tried to teach me about life when in fact he is a loser dropout and dope addict. After all the years my family helped him get on his feet, he used the funds to party away.

I hate sending my relatives money....many of them are too lazy top get a job. Ugh....

my family rarely ask..but when they do i dont mind so much because when i am back home they cater to me...

It shouldn't be because they cater to you. Thats being a snob period. It should be, because they're my family and I love them.
