[quote=Anonymous]You cna help your DW by being the bad guy and standing up to FIL. Tell him "This is what we are paying for." Tell him "No" as a complete sentence and let him rage. Don't debate with him, just let him spew his nastiness until he gets tired. Or hang up. If you pay the basic bills directly, then you'll know he has the essentials covered and your conscience will be clear. Then you can say to your DW that he has everything he needs. If you pay for real estate taxes, utilities, phone, and medical co-pays directly, and give him $100 a week for food, what more is there that's a legitimate expense? Car stuff maybe?[/quote]
