[quote=Anonymous]I think her financial management skills really aren't the issue here. The fact that she's mean to your husband and doesn't respect your family's boundaries are the issues. So support your husband in setting and maintaining the boundaries he feels he needs to not let the stress of this overwhelm him. For the aunt/niece relationship, I would set up a recurring appointment at a neutral location - the park when weather's decent, invite SIL to DD's dance class or whatever indoor weekend activity(like a museum) when weather's bad and let that be it. Maybe once a month, maybe every other weekend - up to you, but be upfront about it so SIL can make her peace with the frequency and don't let it branch out from there. Keep to it - the 3rd Saturday of the month at the park is her standing appoint with her niece. [/quote]
