Fair Weather Friends
« on: June 18, 2008, 07:49 PM »

We have this family friends that are good as long as we are ones giving emotionally or otherwise.Being christians and the fact that both families are from the yoruba speaking tribe we did not see anything to it for long time.Few occasions that I had to ask them for favors were always like I'll call you back and afterwards calls starts getting into voicemails that were returned.There was an incident the husband sold 3 fairly used laptops to us and later came back after 6months to ask if he could pay us back to have at least one of those laptops at the price he sold them because they got expensive.Still we felt it was okay until they started behaving funny when we needed favor from them.The situation now is that they are in a financial stress and want us to bail them out but deep down me I don't want to.Could someone advise me on this please.
thanks

Do not pay evil with evil,whatever you do for them just believe that you are doing it for God.Be your brother's keeper and i am sure if you help them out they will never forget your family.

You help because You want to help and not because someone adviced you to do so ! ! !
If am in your shoes,i would help them IF i have the means. forget about whatever has transpired,if you want to help them,if you don't want to throw away your face.its your life !
