I am from Egypt. I work in Kuwait. I am married with 1 child. My brothers, sisters and parents keep on asking me for money when I phone home. I have a wife and a child to care for. I think that they think the money grows on trees in Kuwait. Help! How do I stop this?

Set your priorities. Wife and child first, parents second and siblings only if you have excess money. Why can't they go to Kuwait and work also. Just say I am sorry but I don't have any extra money.

You have to be straight up with them and tell them no!! Only if it's some kind of emergency should you send them money!! You have other things to think about now!! Don't let them walk all over you and make you feel guilty!! This will just keep going on as long as you are being soft!!

just simply tell them...u have a family to take care of, and that you cant send them money ! did you ever send money in the past? that may be why they keep on asking?

Just say that you can't afford to send any money. Your priority should be your child, not your grown relatives.

Just tell them no! That you don't have it to spare, And that you are sorry, but you have got your child, and wife to think about, and they come first with their needs.
