Aunt contributes $11k to 17-year-old niece's college fund, refuses to give more money when sister spends most of it on her prom: 'Can you spot me $2k just for now?'

When a close relative has a kid, it is only natural for somebody to want that kid to have the best start in life. Some aunts and uncles play a large role in the life of their nieces and nephews, especially if they come from single-parent families, and often, it provides them with a lot of much-needed support that they wouldn't have otherwise. Many swear by the idea that it takes a village to raise a child, and other family members are often the most important people in that village.

However, it is also easy for parents to take advantage of the generosity that aunts and uncles may show towards them and their kids. Sometimes, this involves excessive demands on their time or attention, and other times, there is a financial angle. Either way, it can lead to hurt feelings, trust being broken, and a lot of general familial drama.
