My PIL are getting older, past retirement age but still dabbling in a bit of work. They are asset rich -ish and cash poor. Health is gradually declining. They've always been very careful with money and have managed to squirrel some savings away. These are being depleted by their youngest daughter who was made redundant a few years ago and has been trying to set up an art business. She's struggling to fund her lifestyle and pay the mortgage. PIL and the entire family it seems have a habit of burying their heads in the sand and wish to avoid conflict. Their savings are running out and they've already sold some assets to fund their daughter. Daughter half heartedly applied for 2 jobs with a regular income in this time. Still wants the art to work. We're now 6 years down the line. PIL are lovely but quite naive. They're now considering selling part of their business to continue bailing out daughter. Dh has told them daughter needs to support herself and they should stop. He's not worried about inheritance or anything like that. PIL won't have the conversation, they just moan about how they're running out of money to dh. I have gently suggested dh have a quiet word with his sister but he won't. They're not that close. It's not his battle really but I think sis is taking the piss and needs to be told. It's hurting their parents. None of my business which is why I'm not saying anything direct, should I press dh further. His parents are being taken advantage of Imo.
