Pil have always lived high on the hog - best of everything.
Now they're in their 80s and need to consider help: gardening, cleaning and probably personal care too.
Now, dh's brothers have mooted that the three sons should be responsible for the payment of this and I am livid. Mil spends money like water. She has masses of expensive jewellery, only buys food in M&S, vists the hairdresser evey week, they used to go on five holidays a year etc etc. Now if they've run out of money that is THEIR problem.
I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable feeling so mad, and I know if I object to paying I'm going to fall out with dh in a big way, but it doesn't seem fair. I budget really carefully and now I feel I have scrimped for nothing.
Also, pil have always been incredibly mean with other people. they wouldn't even let dh go away to university because they refused to contribute to his grant.
