Hi, just wondering who stays with many members in the same household? Like nt with own siblings, but with outsiders like eg: fren's children, non blood related relatives, kids abandoned by their parents... Staying in a normal hdb 4-rm flat and dad is the only sole breadwinner. Hub and i are staying with them with 2 kids temporary till they end of yr cox flat is nt ready yet. My parents took in 4 different ppl(1 age 36, non blood related msian relative, 2 16yo girls, 1 14yo boy). Reason for taking them in: Msian relative- cox ringgit is dropping, since in some sense she is still related as "relative" so parents gave her a room to share with zero rental, covers food and laundry washing/ironing. 1 16yo girl- cox parents divorced and doesnt wan her so parents took her in, but she is ungrateful, she thinks we owe it to her and we ought to be gd to her in "compensation". Always creating tension and arguments in the house. Another 16yo girl and 14yo boy - they are siblings, mum babysit them since young, but aft sometimes, their parents jus dumped them to us, pushing all the responsibilities to us and they have nv really gone hm since young. Taking care of them foc also. To my parents, they feel that they are doing good deeds and helping ppl "in need". But they don see tt they save and scrimp jus to provide for outsiders, and the household is so packed with "outsiders". Anyone been through this before? How do ur cope and live with it?
