[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not desirable, but if your father supported you fully financially (or paid fair share) for you as a child, I don't think you should be very angry.  And I think funding family before charities is appropriate.

You may resent your dad for not having his life together.  But if the asks are minor, I think it's acceptable.

You should have a discussion with him about Medicare  & nursing home type issues.  It sounds like he might have difficulty paying if he had any serious life problems.  I don't think that burden should fall on your family.  That's where my personal line is.

Don't fight with DH if he's sticking up for your family member.  It shows he is family-oriented and cares about your family of origin even if they are annoying and don't have their lives in order.  To me that's a positive vs. "your family, your problem".  You may need this quality at a more serious time in your family life.  [/quote]

All of this. [/quote]

+1 great post and I agree entirely [/quote]
