I just need to vent a little bit....
FIrst off, Im sure you all have moochers in your life...to varying degrees. As a person who feels guilty until ive paid back a debt (whether it be a dollar I borrowed for a soda or a meal that a friend footed the bill for) I just dont understand where some people get their nerve!!!
Now I am not a shy individual so I will usually put moochers in their place but my parents are way too nice!
Case in point (and why im posting this on the disneyboards) my family (at the time just my mother, father and me) used to go to disney every year in September, one year my dad invites my uncle and his daughter Shannon. My uncle NEVER offered to help pay for accomodations because "we were already paying for that anyhow, so we could share". He also let my mom and dad foot the bill for them for a pretty expensive chef mickeys meal (where my uncle ordered the catch of the day which was the most expensive thing on the menu) and then had the nerve to turn around and ask my family for our half of counter service burgers and fries! Grrrr it gets me boiling and the fact of the matter is my dads whole side is like this (theyve all got brass you know whats!)
My parents own a timeshare and recently my aunt (who NEVER EVER bothers to call us or send a christmas card or anything) calls and casually mentions shes going to disney. After talking for about 3 minutes she tells my dad that my grandmother mentioned they have a timeshare and she was wondering if they could use it (since my parents are using alternative accom arrangements this year). Then when my mom asks since shes using it if shed pay at least the maitenance fee, my aunt flips saying were selfish people!!!! My grandma actually lectured my dad about this and not being willing to share!
Okay im done venting....if you think im overreacting please bring me back to my senses because I have had about enough of his greedy, overbearing relatives and have a mind to tell my aunt what I think of her and her selfish, self serving ways!
