It's really unfortunate, not that they don't want to help, I can't/don't expect it from them, but that they want ANY type of financial gain.

The way I see it, they shouldn't even want to borrow his car, let alone borrow any money.

My friend bought my father 4 packs of cigarettes the other day, which is 4 more than my sister has ever brought him.(since his stroke)

Additionally, if they were/are in a really bad tax situation, and wanted to do so, they should have asked a long time ago, not when their taxes were getting prepared.

I agree that a family talk is in order, if that's what you want to call them.

I'll wait a few days until my older sister heals up a bit after her surgery and try and talk to them(sisters) about it.

My brother in law should have nothing to do with anything to do with my father, or for that matter, nothing to do with my conversations with my sisters.

My little sisters problem is that she puts her husband up to ask me things she can't.
