Currently struggling with money trying to do a house up, we moved 6 months ago, work part time for cost reasons with childcare . dH has good job but average earner. DH was left some money by maternal grandmother when she passed some 20 years ago not masses but our contingency fund. At the time of her passing SIL wasn't born. SIL is on maternity moved in with her partner last year to his house, didn't contribute house as not a penny to her name. House is all done doesn't need anything doing, BIL has trade therefore does lots of private work therefore not putting through official channels. Always mentioning cash they can't pay into accounts etc. anyhow DH said before SIL got with partner he would give her half of the money he was left as his grandmother would want that( even though she wasn't born), SIL got pregnant moved out of home etc etc DH then sid couple of months ago need to sort money out to give to her, last week he gave her this circa £1k . Up till this time she was messaging daily asking for it when she would get it etc. they have not gone and bought half a caravan and she is lining up VIP tables at a nightclub - all over Facebook They are not short of money nor need it. We certainly could, new boiler needed trying to get lounge decorated etc. SIL is type only interested when she wants something. aIBU to feel cheesed off we are holding back on things we need doing as skint whilst this money squandered? DH won't talk about it and says it's gone no something he could take back once he said he was giving to her
