Extended families are curses. I have maternal extended family who expect others to pay for them. They simply refuse to take accountability and be responsible for themselves. They have lived FREE for three generations. They have never done anything for themselves, they prefer others to foot their bill. Yes, family is a curse. It is so much better not to have extended families at all. To those who don’t have families, you are indeed blessed. My extended paternal families are all independent, educated, and successful while my extended maternal family are parasitic losers. I LOVE my extended paternal family while I HATE my extended maternal family. Hopefully the losers will die out. Always hated the cockroaches that are my extended maternal family.
