Dont expect me to carry the bigger share of your problem.

"A problem shared is half solved" is what we hear people say yeah!
Now you tell me the problem you have at the moment, let say for instance, you tell me you don't have money to pay your son's school fees and the school is about to embarrass you by sending him out of school and in my generous mind I gave you the money. Am nice yeah!

Please don't come back to me with more problems. Don't you think I have my own issues to sort out too!

Now imagine this nonsense because we are sisters, you ask me for some money to sort out a few issues. I gave you.
Some months later, you ask me to help me to sort out a few financial stuffs. I gave you money.
Now you don't call me to ever ask how am doing or how my life is going.
When I see your call its either you have financial issue, accommodation issue or food issue.

Seriously! you know what, we are not sisters anymore. Please don't call me again.
Very soon I will become needy like you because you will milk me dry.

The other day, a friend shared with me in the UK how his friend from Naija called to ask him for help with his wedding. He says he was cool to help out because they are childhood friends.
But guess what the friend asked for a cow for his wedding.
What! who does that!
How is your wedding going to help my life.
Your are even dictating what I should give you. Lol
So here is what my friend did, he stopped picking his calls. Yeah! Mean you will say.

Because am in the UK does not mean am sweeping Pounds Sterling from the street and even if I do must I spend it on your problems. I would rather give charity. They need it more than you.

Learn to be independent. Its important. Friends and Families are there to support you don't choke them with your everyday problem.

Kind regards
