Life is so unfair to L
L has 2 brothers - one younger one elder, and a father who are in Penang. Both brothers are happily married with their own life and father stays alone with his unmarried elder sister. Now, the father is facing some financial problem. The father needs at least RM70k. L and both brothers are responsible for this and to be fair, 3 of them has to share this equally. Am I right?? Yes ?? But the thing is, both brothers have to pay mortgage for their houses and cars every month, with not much saving and nothing left. The only person who can help is L because he works in London and after rate conversion, he earns much more than the 2 brothers. But, L was just renting a hse in London, using public transportation, works long hours, and save very hard for a better future. Meanwhile, both brothers who has no saving are living in a luxury condo, drive to work and enjoying their life in Penang. I am not saying both brothers are bad son. Well, both love their father every bit. They did the normal things as well. Buying a hse and car is what everyone does. And with price increasing everyday, I understand their situation. It is understandable that they dont have enough savings to help. But, I am upset that L has to pay 100% just because he can afford it. And why he can afford it? Because he was saving every single penny for it ! While the 2 brothers who were trying to help but cant because they are broke, live in a luxury condo. Elder brother and wife has 1 flat and 1 RM300k condo !!! "£$%^&**%. They could have at least sell one of the flat. Cant they? It just shows they are taking advantage on L. Am I right or not?

Yea, I think it's not quite right to place the burden on L alone. But this is usually the case in real life from what I hear from friends and all. Worst, there are some who place such burden on persons who are single and living with the parents while the ones married and living elsewhere goes scot free everytime crisis happens.
It does sound unfair to me. I really don't know what to say about this, but if it's hubby's family, I will surely ask his brother to share out the cost even if I know that we will never see each other the same again. That doesn't mean I'm suggesting this ok?
