The sister called and started crying again that the children had nothing to feed, this time she will not give money.

- Well, an arrogant person, this is our Mashka! – exclaimed Dasha from the threshold, taking her breath after a run in the square with Labrador Tim – a parent pet. No wonder they say that impudence is a second happiness. And impudence and impudence are synonymous, especially with my precious sister and her husband. An arrogant person, in my opinion, perceives his own impudence as a virtue. Two in one from wherever you look, the young woman, my paws to the merry dog, excitedly taunted.



“What’s the matter?” her mother came out of the kitchen.
- Oh, Mom, our song is good - start over.
- Wanted to borrow money again?
- You're so naive. Take it! Keep your pocket wide, in case you pay off your debts. How much did she borrow from you?

- Let me remember... Ah! Last fall, when Gosha was reduced, Mashenka asked how much is not sorry. They say they'll give it before the New Year. I went to the bank, looked at the account. She left three thousand just in case and transferred twenty-one to her map.
- Great! It's summer. The New Year was celebrated six months ago. So what? Returned?
- No, Dashenka, how do you get them back? Gosha's out of work. I don’t really want to give back, a little bit every month.

Sitting without a job - Here, the keywords are "sitting without a job." I didn't tell you, but she begged me for two and a half thousand euros, more than a third of what I had saved in Portugal in three years. It was in February. In the past, I gave them 300 euros every month without asking. The food, she said, was enough. Yes, and “children’s” money drips, even a little. When I arrived on vacation, I immediately visited relatives last week, brought gifts. So what? Gosha is really sitting, playing "Tanks." At least Mom's doing the kids. And this one, inconvenient to say, is a henna man.



I said, "Gosh, what about work?" “We can’t find a worthy one.” “And you, until you find her, go to any, at least as a courier.” I read, "required."
And he said, "Well, you do it!" Why don't I get a loader? I graduated for a minute, remember? ?



Memories: an arrogant person - and what are you to him? - timidly interrupted Dashin's indignant speech Evgeny Petrovna, the mother of both sisters.
- Ma, my goiter's breathing is gone. I remember very well how Dad, having worked at the department and in the department, a day later he was on duty in the ambulance brigade when you were on maternity leave with Mashka. I have never mentioned my degree or doctoral thesis. On the contrary, he enjoyed the new experience. But there was no point in telling Gaucher and Dasha about this: they, the same age, will not be able to remember what they did not remember. My words would not cause any associations.



- Then I too, as soon as Masha learned to sit, in the evenings began to bake cakes to order. Two or three a day. And you, an eight-year-old, looked after her while I was tinkering with baking. As I can see now: the baby in the arena, and you sit on the floor and, covering your eyes with your hands, say: "Koo-ku!" Mashenka looks around, looks for where you have disappeared, looks confused, but when you take your hands off your eyes, she laughs so joyfully.
- Yeah, we had a lot of fun then. And from the clippings of cakes and remnants of cream, a kind of dessert was obtained. You were a little flirty, and you apologized that you didn't have enough cream to decorate the quasi-cakes. To this, the father importantly answered: “Nothing, the belly is not a mirror,” and we feasted on tiny diamonds smeared with cream, jam or jelly. Delicious still...

You know, my daughter, I can’t understand why Masha and Gosha turned to you again for help. We're already helping. A day later, I prepare food for them.
- To me, everything is clear: they have already borrowed from all their friends and acquaintances, so they went on the second round. But no, I decided I would not give them any more money. I looked into my wallet and it was more than what Mashka asked for. And there's a margin on the card. But she said, There's nothing to do, Mary. Until your faithful begin to work, do not expect money from me.



- Do you have any doubts about your decision?
- If I had no doubt, would I have had this conversation? .



You can talk as much as you like about a magical kick or that it is much more effective not to feed a person caught in cramped circumstances with fish, but to give him a fishing rod. However, the age-old question of whether to give relatives money will remain relevant. What is the right way to respond and act? And what are the reasons for forming a position when a person is sure that he should always be helped by loved ones? As you can see, two different people can grow up in one family. What do you think?
