For the life of me I don't understand this,but then again I do. I have been ripped off,abused and just plain disrespected by my family, including nephews. I've given this some thought and its probably selfevident. Family members are not like a bank. With a bank you are OBLIGATED LEGALLY to pay back the debt. Not so with family. There's this unspoken dynamic of 'He/she's family,he/she won't force me to pay it back. I'll just tell them 'I'm family' if they get a bit antsy'. I like to be generous-but where does it get you? Not that I have to 'get' anything, but you know what I mean? I loaned my brother-in-law a total of 65K(four lots of 15K) when he couldn't make wages(he's and engineer with 15 employees) I've been to his factory numerous times asking for the dough and he says "soon". Never again.
