Hello there Mrrzy! :)

I do understand what you mean about families wanting their 'cut'. My husband has an enormous family (more than sixty people in the courtyard alone, in little shanty shacks) as they're Muslims and the men have two, three or even four wives apiece, with all the resulting children. Whenever he goes home (the last time was last Spring for his father's funeral) he's positively besieged by family members begging for handouts.
When he visits his ancestral village up in the north, it's even worse.
The entire village tags along wherever he goes, expecting gifts. One old man asked for a 'European tractor'! They honestly think he's won the Lottery, and has millions to dispense.
It's pitiful, but can get very annoying. He's a school cleaner not a multi-millionaire.
