Kak Zai,
I feel is not easy for the hubby to understand us and stop them to help their sibling and parents. My hubby also like that. He is the elder. When ever his silbling got into trouble, my MIL will ask him to go and help out. Physically and also money issue also. I remember one of his brother need money( I remember around 7K. the wrose case) to pay to the court if not he will have to sit in the jail till someone paid up.(not one time is a few time) Then i have to ask help from my friend to borrow money. End of the day, not my BIL pay back but I and my husband have to paid back to my friend. Till now, I don't think he paid us.
Even his niece nephew have problem, will alway come and ask him for help.
But when I need someone to take care my BB for two weeks cos MIL go not in. No one help us and my husband have to take care. as i cannot take leave due to just join the company that time.
