"He gives me only a small amount of living expenses every month, and now he even wants me to look after his sister’s kids. Luke is my own child, so no matter how tired I am, I'm willing to do it. But his sister's two kids aren't mine; why should I take care of them? If anything happens, they will only blame me again." Laura got more and more upset as she spoke.
Although there were two kids in Mandy’s family, both she and her husband were working. They didn’t have a mortgage to pay, so they weren’t under such economic pressure. Despite that, she still found ways to make William spend money on her every day.
While it was true that a brother may want to give money to his sister, should he not also consider his own family's needs?
If William had money for Mandy, why not save it to pay off the house loan? Once Luke grows up more, there will eventually be school fees and tutoring expenses that require advanced planning.
