My partners parents have just retired, paid off their mortgage and got their first two grandchildren (one being our 8mo DS) they are fairly well off and we are fairly poor, but have always got by and been happy.
DP's parents inherited a fair bit of money - guessing about 70k - about 6 months ago and they are set to inherit more shortly (way more than that) and they've always been generous towards us but recently they've gone overboard and it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
They paid off all DP's debts and gave him 1k spending money. Then they bought us a new car (second hand) then offered to pay our car insurance for the year. We accepted because we're broke and wouldn't have a vehicle otherwise - offered to pay them back monthly but they would not hear of it. Recently learnt that they've actually paid the insurance for 2 years, tax and AA recovery too. They are constantly buying clothes and things for DS and even bought a brand new car seat for the car. When we showed them what we wanted to get DS for Christmas (a rocking horse) they immediately declared that they would buy it! I had to fight hard for them not to go out and get it that instant.
Now they want to buy us a house... not even joking. DP's mum wants to buy it and rent it out to us at a minimal cost... This would help us so much but AIBU to think its too much support for two grown adults with a child to accept? It makes me feel bad, like we can't look after ourselves or our DS.
