No face, no case.
Im a university student and living away from home. I currently work and go to school full time, as well as doing other activities such as the gym, participating in study groups, and plan to start an internship. Time and time again I have asked them to give me at least a 1-2 day heads up before they try to visit, so I can make sure I am home and do not schedule a visit on a night before a big test or something. .
They completely disregard these requests. I just got a text from my brother saying he'll be here shortly. I literally have a 2 hour class thats going to start soon, as well as a final in a few days that I'm studying for. I texted back and tried to call but no response, so most likely he's driving and already on the way. This is very annoying. They would consider me rude if I logged into my class for the entire 2 hour duration and ignored them. And if I skipped class to entertain them its a mark against participation as well as missing important info for finals.
I previously had a work from home call center job. It was back to back calls without a second in between, and I wasn't allowed to clock out for unauthorized breaks or anything. An aunt knew of mine knew of this and knew what my hours were. Towards the end of my shift, she stopped by unannounced and proceeded to knock on the door for 3+hours while I was inside taking calls. I'd tell her to ask her own daughter, who doesnt work, stays home all day, and her kids are in physical school, but my aunt says she's married with kids. She begged me for my little stimulus check when her daughter's husband is a whole ass engineer who just bought a $500k house, which she bragged to us about. If you can brag about him buying a $500k house I'm sure you can also brag about him giving you $1200. This is an aunt who never calls for holidays, birthdays, or even to say hi, just stops by when she needs something done and to brag about her daughter's lifestyle.
My mother would regularly asks me to go back home and do ridiculous favors for her, things that she refuses to learn to do, like updating an app or how to send an email, and ask me for money, even though I work part time. Mind you I dont have a car and would need to ride the bus back, which would take me 4+hours each way. My brother lives 30 minutes from her and has a car, both he and his wife work full time. She refuses to ask my brother for money or anything because she says he's married and has bills. And I dont?
WWYD in this situation? Ive asked, begged, and even left them sitting outside for hours while I am occupied, but apparently as a single woman with no kids( they point this out to me repeatedly) I have all the time and money in the world to drop everything, empty my bank account for everyone, and do favors for everyone 24/7
