Tho saying that above, I dont do any of it.. No family as such to worry about currently. If I did I think I would be much more accommodating / pragmatic about it now I have been here a while, as it is I/we support my mother in the west (cost me almost as much as supporting myself) so why would I be so against assisting a significant others folks.

well, thats why i am setting some things up for her to earn her own money. its not the monetary vlaue, just i want her to feel good about it and, to be honest, i dont want to be involved
i figured without her working while visiting id give her 1000cad/mo
with that, she can send what she feels to her mom without involving me and then have money in her pocket without having to asking me
the 2 scenarios that i mentioned: her sister going to work in the bar and her niece maybe not going to either a good high school or no high school at all are not things that have been asked of me, just things that weigh on my mind and wouldnt be comfortable knowing those situations and not helping
