    Taking the pee or what?

    So I wanted my missus to be able to spend some more time back in the village with her kids and not have to work 14 hours a day in Bangkok for sod all money. So i gave her basically much more than a years wages to go take some time off. She comes over to visit me in Singapore and I wondered why she didnt bring her ATM card with her, so I had to shell out for everything.
    Turns out her mum has blown the lot in 3 months. So now she has got to go back to work. Jesus. Why do I bother?

    Right! Maybe it's time to consider passing on this particular heirloom to another member of your family.

    Re: Taking the pee or what?

    just why is it that poor people can function well without, but when getting it, its gone in an instant. this isnt uncommon here.

    and the answer is pretty straightforward. when you dont have you want. and when you get, you get while the gettin's good. when time's up- back to the place youre familiar with.

    whats funny is that many will trumpet their economic woes, in order to postulate themselves as more disadvantaged...for sympathy or first in line for a handout....but when they get in the money...its like a burden of expectations and the money is gone faster than anything. why else would people stay poor so often???


    is it that they become so indebted to others that when they get some, they are really getting only 20% of it for themselves, and the rest goes to those who helped them the whole time?




    this is one thing about thailand and thai people that i cannot simply get my head around. its as if people want to be behind the 8 ball all the time.

    No... they took your money, sucker!

    I really don't have anything (other than the obvious) to suggest. Good luck.

    Tommy, it's definitely an improvement, but I'm gonna take a guess the mother-in-hell will still get her grubby hands on it somehow.

    Sadly you are regarded as the family exchequer, mum will blow it all, that is her god given right as that is how it works here some ( not all) parents will happily drive their kids into poverty especially if their daughter (s) have have a foreign husband (s).

    All farangs are rich you know in Isaan eyes.

    Been lucky with my wife's family though, solid characters through and through not leeches.
    Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.

    Brutal but must be said. Who believes the mom did it? I would much more guess the wife in a situation like this. Mom is just an easy excuse.

    ...and you were expecting them to frugally budget the sum for the entire year???



    So now she has got to go back to work.
    Or, you could give her a months salary every month and change your name to ATM...

    ....and then there is the unwritten 11th commandment: Thou shall help thou family, no matter what. So, it's usually the youngest little shit in the family, usually the baby brother. Buys property, that he really can't afford, and doesn't know ho to pay the bond. Usually the oldest sister signs surety for the little tosser. He defaults payment, and sis gets screwed over by the bank. So much so, that she can't even leave the country!

    At least two of my friends got taken by the little brother!

    All my mother in law has ever had out of us is our furniture from our house when we moved back, to be fair my brother-in-law forked out most of the cost of building her the house, and she did return the sinsot in full so it seemed fair enough
