in one way i'm lucky my misses is not into collecting handbags,shoes etc (thank god), she would rather send the money to her aunt and cousin, which i can understand, her aunt gave up her job to look after our daughter for many years, and because of her age and physical difficulties she would have problems finding a job, also we help her cousin, who is like a brother to my misses, we have nearly got him thru a nursing degree, why ? , he's got no one to help him, no parents and what family he has don't give a
those who don't 'have' to give are lucky, who who can afford and want to give are lucky, those who think it's their duty to help, for doing what you can
of course you can be abused, but no one is living a life of luxury on what we send, and if it was my aunt and cousin i would do the same, they are grateful for the help we give, and never ask for more, unless it is a real emergency
and respect to your hubby , I've moaned at my misses a few timesbut i know she is right
