PARENT TRAP: Giving cash to mum and dad to pay off debts last year has backfired

I thought I'd be kind and share it around. But all I've done is split the family in two and set loved one against loved one.

Today I find myself slagged off and isolated and I don’t think that’s fair. I was just trying to do a nice thing.

The day after I received my cash injection, I paid off my parents’ considerable debts. Dad has always been a spendthrift and mum is hopeless with paperwork. I gave my sister £300 and my brother £200. I gave £50 vouchers to my nieces and nephews. Big mistake.
