Me and Dh have been married 6 years now and due our second dd in a few weeks. DH parents moved 6 months after we got togther to Wales. His brother kept getting inot trouble here so he moved up there too. He met a girl a few years back and moved in with her baout 30mins from his parents. Me and DH settled here.
BIL is very bad at managing money and has gone from onejob to the next, and even told his boss to stick his job 3 months before there dd was born. They are forever having there phone count off, not paying electric ect. BIL GF has recently had another child. So they have 2 children of their own and 1 from her previous relationship. The have LA housing but its a small 2 bed flat but the council suck there and they arent likely to be moved anytime soon.
Phone call to DH parents tonight ended up with FIL telling DH he is selling his house for 500K and moving closer to town as he is really struggling with driving (they live in middle of no where) and the rest of the money is buying BIL a house for his family.
We borrowed £900 when we first moved and we tried to pay it back but was told not to worry but after a row with FIL they asked for it back. They never send anything for DD, tell us we have to phone them as they are pensioners and cant afford to call us and if we dont ring often enough we get texts that arent nice.
Do I just sound like a green eyes monster? I just feel like we have worked our arses off to get where we are with no help from inlaws but his bro buggers it up every time and gets things handed to him. I would want him to prove he could be sensiable before I put that amount of money his way, as if he falls behind on bills they will end up having to bail him out again, as always.
Thanks if you got to the end of this.
