As if an employer gives you a raise when you are going through a tough time. They give you a raise for your performance. You demonstrate that you deserve a pay increase. You can't just ask for one because your husband lost his job. Get real.

That's not why she moved to the US though is it?
I think it's quite easy to see why someone would like Rosemary, she is smart and funny, she's confident, she obviously plays a big role in his kids life, she works within the confines of her visa whilst looking after their child. Sure she doesn't go to the gym and eats takeaway a lot but not being a size 8 isn't a crime and doesn't make you a 'slob'.
This may come as a shock but most grown ups pick their partners based on far more than whether or not they make a home cooked meal every night and go to the gym. And seeing that someone works and goes to the gym sometimes doesn't exactly say much about anyone at all does it? He's hardly going to be posting pics of himself panned out on the couch scratching his balls is he.
A loan without market interest applied will likely be treated as a gift by Revenue and there will be tax implications.
Christ all the starchy knickers are out tonight 
Ridiculous! Where are you getting this incorrect information from?
Definitely, they’re well onto people passing off gifts as “loans”.Jesus i better watch out they could come after me
I think having someone there was a big part of it. Being a slob is not size related, it’s eating trash.
I hope you’ve sent her a message to tell her how you’re flat out defending her from the bad “grown ups” on tattle
I think she doesnt need to worry about being led away in handcuffs. Atlas wont be growing up without his mother

Lol I have only ever heard of people asking bosses for a raise (when going through a hard time) in movies 
the woman is not a slob! She isn’t relying on strangers to subside her life style 
she is over there on a certain visa with a lot of implications in regards to working! She is a writer ffs as for the paying tax on a loan from her parents??? LOL good one

LOL good one This is too much She's a self employed writer, it's down to her and her only to advertise, promote and sell herself/business. Why are people so annoyed that she's kindly asking people to think about signing up because she's going through a hard time?? So if a self employed gardener put up a post on FB to ask people to think about hiring them for their next job because times are tough, would you accuse that person of being brazen, irresponsible and idiotoc because they have no savings! Ludicrous

Ludicrous The tax on the loan is true, its considered a gift as there is no interest added. My financial adviser advised us to add 1% to the loan we took from our parents for our mortgage to ensure there would be no further implications.
Most people don't know this but you could end up with a pretty hefty tax bill if it isn't done correctly

In Irish Law a parent can gift their child €335k in a lifetime with no tax implications. I hardly think the taxman is going to be knocking down her door over a few grand for a car.
I know every family is different but when my kids are older I would love to be able to help them financially rather than have them take out high interest loans for everything.

Free use of property and interest free loans

I’m sure revenue are well aware that there are plenty of these loans not reported or recorded and have bigger fish to fry.
I feel sorry for Rosemary, employee rights in the states are practically non existent & now she’s suddenly chief earner with a very unstable income. Hopefully hubby will get a new job soon, the feelings that go with losing a job are difficult to deal with.
Calm your jets. I said ask, not receive.
She’s not a nice person. Self serving, rude and a smartarse. Think deeper about who you stand up for.
Definitely don’t think she deserved what has happened. I also don’t object to how she spends her money based on the fact that I financially contribute to her. I enjoy her writing and don’t consider her asking people to consider subscribing begging. But to have 3 children that you are at least partially financially responsible for and have NO savings while 2 decent incomes (until this week obviously) were coming in is idiotic in the extreme. And this is while living in a country that apparently has no statutory redundancy and you have to employed to have access to decent healthcare. Her money diaries are a revenue stream for her so people will comment. She doesn’t have to share it.
Yes, gift. This is a loan, so they are not including this in the gift amount.In Irish Law a parent can gift their child €335k in a lifetime with no tax implications. I hardly think the taxman is going to be knocking down her door over a few grand for a car.

And the tax man may or may not. Plenty of people get away with not ever having it be an issue, some people get pulled. Especially once things go into probate after her parents death. I imagine they stand to inherit more than the allowed tax band once their parents die since it is between 2 of them anyway.
Regardless, rules are rules. They didn't gift it.
If that gardener had published years of ridiculously extravagant spending diaries and openly mocked anyone suggesting they might want to save a smidge of it - then yes? I'd expect them to be absolutely roastedSo if a self employed gardener put up a post on FB to ask people to think about hiring them for their next job because times are tough, would you accuse that person of being brazen, irresponsible and idiotoc because they have no savings!
