bil was visiting from usa, fil in law lives in one of his apartments but has renovated all bil properties over the years for no pay, he also paid for bils education, he is 76. dh gave bil $500 dollars to give to his dad, bil said "i will take this towards his rent". shouldnt it be fil disision on what to do with cash. bil is on huge amounts of cash and is planning to retire at 55, it doesnt seem fair.

Are you sure that he wasn't just joking?

tissy · 25/05/2007 15:29

if he wasn't joking, get the money back and SEND it to fil.

Why should you DH pay his rent? It seems that your Bil needs to have a chat with Fil to see why he resents him being there. Send the money direct if you do it again, or buy something for Fil instead.

Your brother in law sounds like a Grade 'A' twat. Hope you can resolve this issue.
