[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not exactly the same but my in laws once sat us down at great length to tell us that some money they were putting in a trust was going to be in my husbands name, not mine, they didn’t want to end up supporting me and my new husband har har, etc.

I mean of course they are putting it in dhs name, my parents would do the same, I would do the same for my kids. I would not have had one single thought  about it (and would have assumed it was the case if they hadn’t specified) because it’s so routine. However, I thought it was weird and kind of rude to tell me in such great detail about the decision and their many reasons  and it’s kind of the same with your parents, op. They should do it hat they want with their money but it seems pointless to say it (especially repeatedly!) [/quote]

Yeah, that was rude. You're right that their actions are perfectly reasonable but their choice to share it in that way was unkind. In large part because it makes you sound like you are trying to take their money and run off with it or something when presumably you are committed to your marriage to their son. It just makes it sound like they have a very low opinion of you and don't trust you, which could have been avoided by simply saying nothing.[/quote]
