DH giving away our savings...

[brontechick]

SIL is going through a divorce. Her house is up for sale with offers over £600,000. She's started looking at properties around the £150k mark. The house being sold is virtually mortgage free. In the area where she lives £600k is a lot of money for a house, with the average house selling for around the £200k mark.

SIL replies accidentally on our family whatsapp thanking DH for loaning her £15,000 for her deposit.

I am beyond angry. DH did not discuss this with me and has just ploughed ahead and thought that he didn't need to mention it before making this offer.

DH has just taken a 20% pay cut and has been moaning on that money will be a bit tight. Yes, now I know why!

SIL works 16 hours a week so I have no idea when she will pay us back. I appreciate she's going through a hard time, but I have worked bloody hard to put into that savings account and I feel like I don't have an equal say in what we do with our money.

DH thinks I am being unreasonable about the whole thing! Am I?!

No further post after the op?

I'm fed up of seeing people post initial question then disappear. MN should remove them. Then flog them with a wet fish.

Grrpredictivetex If the OP is a journalist using Mumsnet to "get" a story, why would Mumsnet HQ want to get rid of them.
If the "conundrum" story, with an "original" posting gets into a newspaper, with many replies from Mumsnetters giving their solutions/ comments, Mumsnet gets a mention in the national newspapers with the ensuing publicity which is very attractive to advertisers and thus helps the coffers.

On the other hand the OP might just be ill.

I would be furious to the point of demanding what I put into savings back to me, immediately

MN HQ probably put this up.

I can't believe I just Rtft only to find out OP never provided an update 🤦🏼‍♀️
