My partners family.
They're all relatively well off. Certainly not rich by any means, but all work full time, own their own houses, pay bills, have holidays and buy nice things etc etc. So none of this is coming from misplaced assumptions, we spend a lot of time together and they don't exactly hide their lifestyles.
But his parents, siblings and their partners have all applied for government hardship/crisis payments and are encouraging us to do it too because it's free cash?! I'm so
bleeping angry. They're all bragging about how they've got a free £100 or £200 cash. For essentially lying and saying they can't afford their bills...
This money is surely for people in actual CRISIS situations?? People who genuinely cannot pay their bills, no money in the bank and can't top their gas up or buy food for their kids.
Now they're all calling me daft and stupid for not taking the "free money" and just don't seem to have any comprehension of where I'm coming from
I love my partner, luckily he's nothing like his parents but Christ, I find it so difficult being a part of their life at times..
