| I got one. He will borrow anything and everything. He wants to be a part of everything that is going on but never contributes to the expense of what is going on. He has alot of high hopes and dreams that he constantly talks about, but when the gas tank is empty he left his wallet at home. I have been guilty of not confronting him, and I possibly may have built somewhat of an expectation. It's pretty sad, and recently even my wife spoke up, who normally doesn't speak out until things are really on her last nerve. BTW this is not new, been going on for years. What would you do, say or not do?

| Without getting personal or in to your business; first you have to decide if this is a relative you care about enough that you're willing to help and hope to see them do better. Also, do you enjoy their company? If so, then you owe it to them and your self to lay down some ground rules. Start by letting them know it's been going on for a long time and "appears" that they are taking advantage and that from now on they are going to have to anti up or not participate. If they heed the advice and step up to the place, then great, but if not, you have to be prepared to cut 'em loose. Some learn, others don't. The one's that don't never will, and will only continue to drag their friends and family down and cause animosity.
