In Reply to: I know, my sister, who spends half the year calling (sm) - Why? How?

My parents (the enablers that they are) pay for my sister's son's health insurance and pay for my brother's cable/phone/internet bill, but they all buy their kids a TON of presents for Christmas and their b-days!! My sister is 31 and my brother is 27, so they're both old enough to take care of their responsibilities but refuse to. Their kids are absolutely spoiled, but hey they don't care cuz mommy and daddy are paying their bills for them!! Drives me insane!
