February 2, 20179 yr The mother is a money nagger or the father is a chronic gambler. Or the brother likes moto-racing. How do you best approach the girlfriend or the family about this early to both manage expectations correctly and protect her/the family member/your own interests?

It's crap that will only cost you your health.
February 2, 20179 yr Author Having a GF throws on the hooks whether we like it or not. I really disagree with this idea to pretend those hooks aren't there and pray for the best.

After all this is Thai society and asking for money creates a loss of face If what your saying is from the ground up your FIL are a bunch of irresponsible people who have habits they cannot afford. I'd move away from them and make visits a rarity. I have a similar issue with mrs brother and my solution is to limit our visit's and make zero contributions to them. The family are good but this lads not a complete waste of space but no one's tackling the issue so my issue is why are we making plans on a farm that after the old man, seems to have no future. Failing that i'll find a translator and take him on a jolly far far away and bluntly tell him to man up or continue to lose the respect of all his siblings. Bar that guy it's ok but without him on board there's no future for the farm her dad dearly loves.
February 2, 20179 yr Just give the Family everything that you've got, and go to Pattaya and become an alcoholic . You may as well get it done immediately, rather than making a long drawn out process
