I have to cover all household expenses, including their personal items, yet they haven't contributed a single penny despite staying at my house for two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family has three siblings, primarily earning a living by selling goods at a school. During the summer, I am essentially unemployed, yet now I have to support three more people: a male cousin, a female cousin, and an aunt. I have to cover every expense in the household, even their personal belongings; they have never spent a dime despite living in my house for the past two months. To be honest, my family faced a major crisis that resulted in a large debt. My siblings and I have struggled to pay off the debt and cover living costs, which was already overwhelming, and now we have to shelter three more people. Thinking about the savings I set aside for summer spending depleting so quickly makes me feel heartbroken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Struggling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have to wake up at 3 a.m. to earn money, while my cousin just wanders around and still makes over 10 million VND a month. I asked him to contribute to the family expenses, but he ignored me. Moreover, the two cousins do not help with any housework; they wake up, eat, surf the web, sleep until the afternoon, and then go out. Even when I ask for help, they still won't do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For relatives' weddings, visiting relatives' homes, or company vacations, he goes alone and doesn't want to go with his wife and children.<\/a>  85<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a week when he spent 20 million VND on electronics. I pretended to ask for a cup of milk tea, but he remained silent; there was even a time he asked me to buy something for him and then didn't pay me back. He said he would soon move out to rent a place, yet his mother and sister are still at my house, and I have to take care of them even though it's not my responsibility. In everyone's opinion, how should I behave? Currently, I am very tired and confused. Please give me your advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
