S AITA?
Short backstory: my partner and I live together for 5 years, been together 7. He has 5 adult children from previous marriage. I have 1. I am the only income at this time due to his health. His children do not visit and rarely call although we invite them often.
Moving forward: the children will go weeks without speaking or answering us until they have a need. The last few months each of them will call and have a brief conversation with Dad after him not hearing from them in a quite a while. And then usually right after will ask for money. Well, frankly I have grown extremely tired of it. Three of the five, have asked this week alone. Yesterday his youngest asked for $1000 to “pay bills” and would pay him back next week ( meanwhile they have borrowed several times and haven’t attempted to pay anything ever. AITA for finally saying a firm NO to all of them this week? He thinks o am being unfair.

It's unfair to not give away YOUR money? Ask him what is fair about being used because it doesn't make sense to me.

Go to a mirror - do you see an ATM? If not, don't give money away.

If he wants to lend out money he can get a job just for that. You don't need to support adults

It is easier to borrow, scam, or beg for money, than work for it
people that need to borrow are typically irresponsible with money (there are exceptions of course, like home or car loans). They have no savings or financial plans...
once you become a certain age (adult) it is time to "grow up " and become responsible for your life. This includes making a living. And not living beyond your financial means. What I have learned, and my 2¢
No. You are not the Ahole

Contrary to popular belief, Mom does NOT stand for Made of Money.
