Relationships within families can be strained sometimes around things set very much in the present and others go back to early childhood actually and they may cross over which when it comes to some of mine is definately the case.
My older brother was fine but my younger brother was something else from an inability to play any kind of a game without wanting to alter the rules so he'd win regardless to non stop pressuring from the minute we arrived on holiday for money for various things such as the amusement arcades, sweet shops not ever getting to grips with the notion your holiday money as for the whole week and if you saw anything special then you'd need to make a case to the Bank of Mum and Dad.
Gnerally I always managed mine to cover childhood essentials like a comic or two to read, sweets and the odd souvenirs before getting to things like the slot machines, leaving them to the last full day.
He just blow it in one and then started wanting to "borrow" but given there was nothing to say he's have it give back I'd dig my heels in.
The other thing was the number of times I caught him out telling outright lies about where he'd been, impersonating his mum on the phone even to "check" if a cheque mum had written for him had been cashed which he had no business doing.
Like Dad he suffers from dramatic statement syndrome which everything wrong with him is played up beyond where it really is expect you to drop everything for him.
So you might understand how things are with me.
