My grandkids father spends more money than he can afford , he is very self centered and vain, he spends hundreds every month on supplements for working out, although we've seen no difference in his appearance . So to help him out I didn't ask for his monthly bill payments he use pay me, just so he wouldn't ask for more days to work and be even more away from his kid's than he already is. He works 7 days a week and 4 of those days he takes on a second night job just to have money for his 18 year old girlfriend amd his supplements. By the way he is 28. Now he needs a new resident card so I offered pay half , again just so he won'the work more hours amd be away from his kids. I know your wondering why would I keep trying to help someone like this, especially when the only reason he wants a resident card is because he dont want to be deported and leave his girlfriend, instead of his kids being the reason, and no the 18 year old girlfriend is not my daughter or kids mom. And I know he needs more money to keep entertaining his girlfriend, not for his kids and wants to stay or practically live at work because she's there. We'll im trying to have faith that God will change this situation and get him away from that little girl but it's already been 7 months and seems like no end in sight. I'm trying to help him because I lover my grandkids and dint want them to hurt but I'm also feeling like giving up and stop caring.

Kids are better off without a self centered sponge....stop enabling his self centerness.

sometimes helping is doing nothing. life isn't a free ride. those who think so will never account for what u do, they will only take

No one can take advantage of you without your permission. The money you give him you should give to the kids. The time as well. He's not interested in them, but you are. Send him down the road but be there for the kids.
