This was ranted at me last week.."Its ok for you, you don't have a mortgage"

I had a blazing row with one of my sisters last week, it all came about because of the lack of time she was giving to my handicapped mother.
Myself and my two sisters managed to get together to discuss a few things concerning our Mum before all hell broke loose and stuff was said.
The troublesome sister is a go getter, allways has to be seen to be doing better than everyone else, lazy she is not, but her and her very average husband stretch themselves beyond belief and live well outside their means.
I am telling my sister she should be doing this and it might help if she did a little bit more of that, then out of the blue she starts ranting about "it's ok for me".

In short i was told i do not have a huge mortgage, i have a reckless lifestyle where i have no responsibilty, and i have nothing to get stressed about apart from mum.
I basically told her i don't give a s*** about her self inflicted work load, she maybe want to reconsider coming down a peg or two and living within her means, that way she might have time for is really important in life.

I have noted this a lot recently in one form or another, people in huge debt(mainly a huge mortgage) getting all funny with me because i don't have any huger debts or mortgage. I have seen it where they get out of paying for a round to getting out of family and friends duties.

Why are you telling her what she should be doing?

She's an adult with her own life and it's her choice whether she helps with your Mum or not.

Family ALWAYS comes first.

I have a feeling none of this actually happened.

Since when has this been the "Debate my paranoid illusions" board?

I am really wondering if you really me that, if you do, what a vile little person you are.

Some people care about the care their mother is getting

Without any doubt!!

And more so when you have a Mum like mine, and considering along with my Dad they gave her her first deposit on her first house.

You are brilliant Hamish...:rotfl:

You are the only man of this planet who i can get the attention of within a hour at any time of the day.

I know property prices are a big deal with you mate, but try and get some kind of life as well.

Hamish's reply is a great example of my opening post, nothing is more important than the God of rising equity:)
